Product overview
The MCD2516-5XB is a 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for multiface indexing and simultaneous 5-axis machining of large, complex aerospace and industrial components. It combines large-capacity workholding with high-precision feedback and thermal stability measures for consistent high-accuracy production.

Key features

• Standard 6,000 rpm spindle, with higher-speed spindle options available for specific applications.
• Workpiece capacity for large parts up to 2,700 × 1,600 mm and payloads around 2,000 kg (≈4,400 lb), depending on configuration.
• 0.1 µm linear scale feedback for precise positioning.
• Thermal-stability systems including Makino Thermal Stabilizer; optional Thermal Chamber for strict temperature control.
• A- and B-axes with 0.0001° indexing for high-accuracy multiface machining and true simultaneous 5-axis control.
• Multiface indexing capability for efficient processing of large, asymmetrical components.
• ATC capacity standard 30 tools (options: 60, 99, 120).
