Summary

The Makino V56i is a vertical 3-axis CNC machining center designed for high-precision die and mold applications, facilitating complex geometry machining with sustained accuracy over long cycle times. It employs thermally controlled components, core-cooled ballscrews, and a rigid spindle to minimize thermal distortion and vibration during extended high-speed operation. The system integrates an advanced control platform and Nano Slideway guideways to deliver precise, chatter-free cutting across the full work envelope.

Key Capabilities

• Thermal control of spindle, saddle, spindle carrier, and ballscrews for stability during long machining cycles
• Integrated, stiffer spindle design to reduce runout, minimize vibration, and support chatter-free cutting
• Nano Slideway hydraulic circuit on X-axis for low friction, heat reduction, and stringent geometric accuracy
• Advanced Makino Professional 6 control system with Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) for reduced cycle times in complex die/mold applications
• High-speed automatic tool changer with optional expanded magazine
