Makino V99 (50 TAPER) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical table/work support machining center features a robust CAT50 spindle interface, with an optional HSK-A100 spindle for enhanced rigidity and high-speed performance. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool automatic tool changer, delivering efficient tool change times of 5.0 seconds, ensuring high productivity in demanding production environments. Designed for precision and versatility, the system operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with no additional U-axis capability. The X-axis offers a travel distance of 59.000 inches, the Y-axis 39.370 inches, and the Z-axis 31.490 inches, providing a generous working envelope suitable for a wide range of part sizes and configurations. All axes support a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 787 inches per minute, enabling fast positioning and efficient material removal rates. The CAT50 taper ensures reliable tool holding for heavy-duty machining, while the HSK-A100 option allows for higher spindle speeds and improved accuracy in fine finishing operations. The machine’s construction emphasizes rigidity and precision, supporting consistent part quality and long-term reliability. With its combination of high-speed travel, rapid tool changing, and flexible spindle options, this machining center is well-suited for complex milling, drilling, and contouring tasks in both prototype and high-volume manufacturing settings.
