Makino has announced the newest addition to its family of high capability horizontal machining centers (HMCs), the 5-axis a500Z. This versatile machine adds a factory built and fully integrated "Z-type" fifth axis to accommodate today's more complex part geometry challenges in a minimum number of workholding set-ups and machining operations.
The kinematic arrangement of the a500Z minimizes the force path lengths through both the spindle as well as through the workpiece, transferring both cutting loads and reactive forces into the machine's three point leveled bed, maximizing both metal removal rates and perishable tool life due to enhanced system rigidity.
All axes on the a500Z have closed loop active temperature control standard, providing not only the enhanced dimensional control that is inherent to this design, but also extended component life even in the most demanding production environments. With rapid rates for all linear axes of 2,362 IPM (60 m per minute) and a B-axis rotation rapid rate of 45,000° per minute, this agile platform allows for highly efficient machine movements.
The a500Z's standard 14,000 RPM high power spindle offers output capabilities of 49.6 HP (37 kW) peak power, and 223 ft-lbs. (303 Nm) peak torque, making it suitable for wide ranging material applications. Tool changer magazine sizes range from the standard 60 tool capacity ring to a 313 matrix magazine.
The standard automatic pallet changer on the a500Z increases machine utilization, allowing workholding fixture tending on one pallet while the other pallet's workpiece is being machined.
