Makino V33I

What the maker publishes about the current Makino V33I

Makino's V33i is a vertical machining center aimed at hard milling dies and molds, laid out with the X and Z axes in the spindle head and the Y axis under the table. On Makino's current page the table is 750 x 450 mm, the X, Y and Z strokes are 650, 450 and 350 mm, and it takes workpieces up to 750 by 635 by 250 mm and 300 kg. The standard spindle turns 200 to 20,000 rpm and takes a CAT40 taper, and 30,000 and 40,000 rpm spindles and an HSK63 taper are listed as options. The tool magazine holds 25 tools as standard, with bigger magazines as options, and a tool change takes 4.8 seconds. To hold size over long cycles, the ballscrews are cooled through the core on every axis, the saddle and spindle carrier are kept at temperature by circulating oil, and the spindle is cooled through its core and lubricated under the bearing races.
