Makino V77 (40 TAPER) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a vertical spindle with a CAT40 taper, offering an optional upgrade to HSK-63 for enhanced toolholding rigidity and high-speed performance. The spindle accommodates a 40-tool magazine with a tool change time of 5 seconds, enabling efficient machining operations. It operates on a 3-axis configuration with no additional U axis, providing travel distances of 47.2" (X), 27.6" (Y), and 25.6" (Z) at rapid traverse rates up to 787 inches per minute, ensuring fast and precise positioning. The CAT40 taper, with a 7/24 taper angle, is widely recognized for balancing versatility and strength across diverse machining tasks, while the HSK-63 option offers superior rigidity through dual contact and hollow design, promoting higher spindle speeds and accuracy. The tool changer supports high-speed machining with minimal downtime between tool swaps, facilitating smooth transitions during complex cycles. This machine supports heavy-duty milling, drilling, tapping, and finishing operations, suited for mold making and general precision manufacturing. The overall design integrates robust construction and advanced tooling interfaces, supporting productivity and high-quality surface finishes in a vertical machining environment.
