What the maker publishes about the current Makino A61NX-5E

Makino describes the a61nx-5E as a five-axis horizontal machining center for aluminum parts of small to mid size, aerospace work in particular. It sits on a 400 mm by 400 mm pallet with strokes of 730 mm in X, 730 mm in Y and 680 mm in Z. Two direct drive rotary axes supply the extra motion: B swivels 290 degrees, from -110 to +180, and C turns a full 360. The pallet changer loads the pallet directly into the rotary table. A 14,000 rpm spindle is standard and a 24,000 rpm spindle is optional. Rapid traverse is 48 m/min in X and Y and 43 m/min in Z. The largest workpiece is ø700 mm by 400 mm, with limitations, and payload tops out at 150 kg. The magazine holds 60 tools, with 133, 218 or 313 optional. Tools can be 170 mm across and 12 kg.

What fits a Makino A61NX-5E

Each of these follows from a published specification above, which is named beside it.

Pallets and fixturing

Fixtures, tombstones and spare pallets are cut for a pallet of this size and do not transfer to another machine. On a horizontal they are a large share of what is being sold, so count them before quoting.

Derived from Pallet size: 400 × 400 mm

What to check on a Makino A61NX-5E

  • Spindle. The manufacturer gives a spindle speed of 14,000 rpm. Run the spindle to top speed and listen for bearing noise.
  • Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 730 mm, Y 730 mm and Z 680 mm of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
  • Tool changer. The manufacturer gives the tool capacity as 60 tools. Cycle every pocket and watch for a hesitation.
  • Pallet changer. The manufacturer gives a pallet size of 400 × 400 mm. Run a full pallet change, and count the pallets and fixtures that come with the machine.
