MAKINO V55 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center delivers high-performance milling with an 18.6 kW spindle motor capable of reaching 30,000 RPM, ensuring rapid material removal and fine surface finishes. It features a 3-axis configuration with travel ranges of 35.4" (X), 19.7" (Y), and 17.7" (Z), supported by a robust table measuring 39.4" by 19.7" and a maximum load capacity of 1,550 pounds, which accommodates large and heavy workpieces. The machine boasts a rapid traverse rate of 1,968 inches per minute across all axes, enabling fast, precise positioning. The spindle uses a CAT40 taper, common for versatile tooling and stability in high-speed machining, with a top spindle speed of 20,000 RPM and a peak motor power of 25 hp, allowing efficient machining of diverse materials. Its automatic tool changer (ATC) has a capacity of 25 tools, facilitating extended, unmanned operation. Coolant-through-spindle capability enhances tool life and cutting quality by cooling and lubricating the machining zone. The machine's dimensions are 109" x 119" x 122" (LxWxH), and it weighs approximately 20,500 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty construction geared for industrial applications. This configuration supports high-precision, high-speed machining tasks commonly required in aerospace, automotive, and mold industries, combining rigidity, speed, and flexibility for complex parts manufacturing.
