Introducing the new Makino 5-axis a500Z. Experience the industry-leading performance and reliability of Makino’s NX-series 4-axis HMCs. Plus, a factory-assembled, total integration of “Z-type” fourth/fifth axis. This helps with very complex part geometry issues, in the least amount of work holding setups.
You can minimise the force path lengths through the spindle and workpiece. The special kinematic positioning provides efficiency. It moves cutting loads and reactive forces into the a500z’s 3-point-levelled bed. Boost metal removal rates and perishable tool life because of the exceptional system rigidity.
