The Makino D500 Vertical Machining Center, known for its precision, stands out in the field of complex mould and die machining. Engineered for exceptional sustained dynamic accuracy, the D500 incorporates Makino’s renowned Thermal Stabilizer technology. This innovation utilises insulated castings, core-cooled ballscrews, and temperature-controlled spindles and direct-drive (DD) motors to ensure stability, even in variable workshop conditions.
The machine’s trunnion-style design, enhanced by dual direct-drive motors, counters deflection and twist during heavy cutting processes. This ensures twice the rotary accuracy compared to similar machines in its class. The advanced design, when combined with Makino’s Professional 6 control and next-generation SGI.5 servo technology, can reduce cycle times on complex components by up to 40%.
The D500 is a synthesis of precision, stability, and flexibility, catering to the specific needs of modern manufacturers who aim for excellence in machining complex dies and moulds.
Makino, as a company, is committed to innovating high-precision machining solutions. The D500 Vertical Machining Center represents a significant leap in engineering, providing users with unparalleled control and efficiency. The continued investment in technological advancements underscores Makino’s position as a leader in the manufacturing industry.
