Makino has launched the V99 vertical machining centre, engineered for manufacturers demanding micron-level accuracy and superior surface finishes in the production of large and medium-sized die and mould components. This new machine is positioned as a solution for achieving high precision and efficiency in challenging industrial environments.
The V99 stands out with its focus on minimizing thermal distortion, thanks to cutting-edge environmentally controlled accuracy features. Central to this is Makino’s patented core-cooled and under-race lubrication spindle design, which aids in maintaining dimensional stability and consistent performance throughout extended machining cycles.
Boasting a substantial working envelope and high payload capacity, the V99 is equipped with a robust 50-taper spindle, enabling it to handle both the roughing and finishing of hardened steel cavities and cores proficiently. This versatility makes it an attractive option for operations that prioritize efficiency and precision.
Incorporating the Makino Professional 6 control system along with SGI.5 servo technology, the V99 significantly reduces cycle times on complex die and mould applications, all while maintaining exceptional surface quality. This combination of advanced technologies underscores Makino’s commitment to delivering efficient, high-precision machinery tailored for the manufacturing sector.
Manufacturers seeking to enhance their die and mould machining capabilities should consider the V99 for its high-precision engineering standards. For additional information, interested parties can contact NCMT Ltd at info@ncmt.co.uk
