2002 MAKINO V77 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2002 Makino V77 is a 3-axis large-format vertical machining center from Makino's V-series high-speed die and mold platform, designed for precision machining of large mold cavities, dies, and structural components requiring extended X-axis travel. The V77 provides 47.2-inch X-axis travel, 27.6-inch Y-axis travel, and 25.6-inch Z-axis travel, served by a 55.1- by 27.6-inch work table with a maximum workpiece weight of 4,400 lbs. The standard 20,000 RPM CAT-40 spindle with 25 HP delivers high surface speed for hard milling of large tool steel mold surfaces; optional 30,000 RPM spindle configurations extend capability for graphite and high-speed finishing. ATC capacity ranges from 20 to 80 tools depending on configuration. The Makino Professional 3 CNC provides smooth geometry interpolation and comprehensive tool management for sustained large-format mold machining. The V77's reinforced column and base structure combined with Makino's thermal management system maintains accuracy over extended production cycles on large workpieces. The machine occupies a floor space of approximately 128 by 98 inches with an overall height of approximately 110 inches, and weighs approximately 36,000 lbs. The V77 bridges the gap between mid-range V-series VMCs and the very largest Makino mold machining platforms, offering production-capable 20,000 RPM performance across a large work envelope.
