2006 MAKINO V55 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2006 Makino V55 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Makino's V-series high-speed die and mold platform, engineered for precision machining of medium-to-large mold cavities and die components in hardened tool steels and aluminum. The V55 provides 35.4-inch X-axis travel, 19.7-inch Y-axis travel, and 17.7-inch Z-axis travel, served by a 39.4- by 19.7-inch work table with a maximum table load of approximately 1,543 lbs. The 20,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle with 30 HP delivers high surface speed for efficient hard milling and fine finishing of complex die and mold surfaces. The Makino Professional 3 CNC provides smooth geometry interpolation and comprehensive tool management for superior surface finish quality. A 25-tool automatic tool changer supports multi-operation programs. The V55's thermally stable cast iron structure and precision linear motion system maintain positional accuracy throughout sustained high-speed machining. The machine occupies a floor space of approximately 124 by 110 inches with an overall height of approximately 118 inches, and weighs approximately 20,500 lbs. The V55 is a well-established platform in Makino's high-speed mold machining lineup, offering the combination of 20,000 RPM spindle capability, extended travel envelope, and Makino's precision CNC contouring performance suited to production mold shops.
