Makino V77 (50 TAPER) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a CAT50 spindle with an optional HSK-A100 configuration, delivering versatile tooling compatibility for diverse machining applications. The machine accommodates 40 tools with a rapid 5-second tool change time, enabling efficient production workflows and minimizing downtime during extended runs. The three-axis configuration provides substantial work envelope dimensions: 47.2 inches of X-axis travel, 27.6 inches of Y-axis travel, and 25.6 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating medium to large workpieces typical in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing environments. All axes deliver impressive rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, ensuring quick positioning between cuts and enhanced overall productivity. The vertical spindle orientation optimizes gravitational chip evacuation and provides excellent accessibility for workpiece loading and tool changes, making it ideal for job shop operations and high-mix production scenarios. The combination of generous work envelope, quick tool change capability, and high rapid traverse rates positions this machine as a capable solution for applications ranging from prototype development to production runs requiring precision finishing and heavy-duty roughing operations across ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
