Makino V99 #50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 70.870" x 39.370" with a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 8,816 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. It operates on a 3-axis system with travels of 59.000" (X-axis, optional 78.740"), 39.370" (Y-axis), and 31.490" (Z-axis), all capable of rapid traverse and maximum feed rates of 787 ipm, enabling efficient material removal and high productivity. The spindle is vertically oriented with a #50 taper, offered optionally as HSK-A100, delivering a nominal 30 HP rating (30-minute rating) and top speeds up to 12,000 RPM, extendable to 18,000 RPM for high-speed machining needs. Tooling is managed by an ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) system holding 30 tools as standard, with an optional increase to 60 tools, enabling reduced cycle times via a 5-second tool change time. No pallet changer or U-axis is included, focusing on robust 3-axis functionality. The machine’s robust design and capabilities make it ideal for precision milling, drilling, and complex contouring on large, heavy workpieces, supporting demanding manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery. Its combination of high spindle power, large table, and versatile tooling capacity provides an optimal balance for both heavy machining and fine finishing operations.
