Makino V33I | MAKINO VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a precision CAT40 spindle taper with optional HSK63 compatibility, providing versatility for various tooling applications. The machine accommodates 40 tools with a rapid tool change capability of 4.80 seconds, enabling efficient production workflows and minimizing non-cutting time. The three-axis configuration delivers substantial work envelope capacity with X-axis travel of 25.6 inches, Y-axis travel of 17.7 inches, and Z-axis travel of 13.8 inches, supporting diverse component machining requirements. Rapid traverse rates reach 787 inches per minute across all axes, facilitating quick positioning between operations and reducing cycle times. This traverse speed balances productivity with precision, allowing operators to move between work positions efficiently while maintaining accuracy for subsequent cuts. The vertical spindle orientation optimizes single-sided milling and drilling operations, making this machine suitable for small to medium component production across various materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The CAT40 taper, with its 7/24-degree taper angle, provides a balanced combination of rigidity and versatility for moderate to heavy-duty machining applications. The optional HSK63 compatibility accommodates high-speed spindle configurations, offering flexibility for future operational requirements or upgraded spindle installations. The 40-tool capacity, combined with rapid tool changes, supports complex multi-operation parts without manual tool changeover interruptions. This configuration streamlines production efficiency for job-shop and manufacturing environments requiring quick setup changes and extended unattended runtime capabilities.
