MAKINO Europe

Loaded with the technologies that manufacturers need for efficient production of both ferrous and nonferrous parts, Makino's a1 series lead the industry in speed, accuracy and reliability.

- 10.5% reduction in machining time compared to conventional methods
- Optimal face-milling of deck face of cylinder blocks and heads
- Machining diverse components for different sectors

Designed to provide stiffness and rigidity for chatter-free cutting, agility for high-speed/hard-milling and accuracies for tight-tolerance blends and matches typical of complex, 3-D contoured geometry.

- Increased productivity and efficiency with superior surface finish
- High quality and high feed rate surface finishing
- Low vibration spindle minimises manual re-work, even with long cutters

Do you manufacture automotive lighting moulds, do micro machining or cut hard material?
The ultimate precision of these dream machines enable mirror surfaces in optical quality, milling of tungsten carbide and sub-micron pitch accuracies.

- Eliminate manual reworking with the Makino mirror-surface finish technology
- Micro-milling machine for ultra-precise performance
- Cutting and grinding of cemented carbide on one machine

Unique blend of speed, power and flexibility enhances productivity and makes the PS series ideal for job-shoppers.

- High-performance versatile vertical machining centre
- Complete process: roughing to finishing in one machine

The highly rigid machine structure and low inertia of the a500Z ensure the same efficiency of this 5-axis horizontal machining centre one would normally expect from a 4-axis machine.

- High-performance, high-torque 303 Nm Makino spindle
- Active-cooling of critical machine components to ensure no thermal expansion
- Direct-drive rotary table to provide 5-axis flexibility
- Maximum work-piece dimension and weight: ø630 mm x 500 mm and 400 kg

New standards for speed and accuracy.
For highest requirements in 5-axis machining in moulds and high precision parts.

- Accuracy and precision in 5 axes
- High surface quality with simultaneous 5 axis machining

The precise 5-axis vertical machining centre delivering the same productivity as a horizontal machining centre.

- Reduction of cutting and non-cutting times
- Providing sustained quality
- Improved safety and easiness

L2 5-axis vertical machining centre: Optimum solution for high-volume parts production

The new Makino L2 5-axis vertical machining centre delivers high accuracy and rigidity from a ultra-compact footprint. Two models dedicated for indexing applications and impeller machining, respectively, will be launched at EMO in Hannover this year. Both have been custom-designed for high-volume, small-part manufacturing processes, ready for automation.

- High-speed 5-axis table
- A axis twin DD motor & twin brake
- C axis DD motor & brake
- Easy integration into different automation solutions including exterior loading arms and fixed or movable
robot loaders

V80S 5-axis vertical machining centre: An evolutionary concept for best surface finishing of plastic injection moulds

This new next-generation Makino high-speed vertical 5-axis machining centre delivers the best surface-quality with the least cycle time. Featuring a titling spindle design, the V80S takes advantage of slant machining, using shorter tools to achieve better surface quality along with reduced vibration, tool deformation and an increased feed-rate.

- High-speed 20,000 min-1 spindle
- A / C axis DD motor
- High rigidity with a compact force loop
- Tilting spindle head prevents unwanted motion for simultaneous 5-axis machining
- X, Y, Z : 1,300 x 1,000 x 600 mm

The U series machines offer an excellent combination of precision, speed and surface finish capability. Makino's advanced adaptive control technologies enhance machining operations and deliver optimum accuracy, excellent surface quality with superior edge and metallurgical quality, and low electrode wear

- With Makino’s Good Cut (GS) control, achieve very good straightness with high thickness right away, in
the first cut, with controlled wire bending or bow-ringing

4 times less electrode wear with graphite electrodes!

The new EDAF Series sinker-EDM comes with Makino's popular H.E.A.T. technology, available until now in the U series wire EDM machines. . The new EDAF comes with improved feed rates up to 5,000 mm/min in the X- and Y-axes. Another feature, HS-Rib, gives the Z-axis a jump speed of 20m/min, a 31% increase over the current model.

- New more powerful H.E.A.T. generator (up from 40A to 80A peak current in standard, reducing power
consumption by 44%)
- Faster feedrates
- New flushing control
