MAKINO V99L/40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino V99L/40 is a precision vertical machining center designed for large-scale die and mold manufacturing requiring exceptional accuracy and surface finishes. This 3-axis CNC machine features a robust 2,300 x 1,000 mm (90.55 x 39.37 inch) table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 kg. The machine delivers impressive travel distances of 2,000 mm (78.74 inches) on the X-axis, 1,000 mm (39.37 inches) on the Y-axis, and 800 mm (31.49 inches) on the Z-axis, accommodating maximum workpiece dimensions of 2,300 x 1,000 x 650 mm. Equipped with a CAT40 (HSK-A63 compatible) spindle rotating at 20,000 RPM, the V99L/40 enables aggressive material removal and delicate finishing operations on hardened steel cavities and cores. The machine incorporates a 30-tool automatic tool changer with 8-second tool-to-tool changeover time, enhancing production efficiency. Rapid traverse speeds reach 20,000 mm/min across all axes, while cutting feedrates achieve 20,000 mm/min, supporting high-speed machining applications. The V99L/40 utilizes Makino's Professional 6 control system with Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) software, optimizing performance for complex 3D contoured shapes and tight-tolerance work. Environmental control features including core-cooled spindle lubrication and twin shield-style splash guards minimize thermal distortion and temperature-related accuracy loss, ensuring superior precision and reliable performance in demanding manufacturing environments.
