Makino’s V33i vertical machining center is the ultimate formula for success in hardmilling extremely accurate dies and moulds out of extremely hard materials.
The machine is equipped with core-cooled ballscrews, support bearings and motor mounts, as well as a cored-cooled saddle design with Nano slideway to control machine thermal growth, providing sustained accuracy in long cycle-time, complex geometry die/mould work. The spindle features Makino’s unique, patented core-cooling and under-race lubrication system, minimizing thermal distortion at high spindle speeds. Integrated construction of the spindle and drive motor rotor reduces vibration during high-speed operation. In addition, optimum axis layout and machine construction gives superior performance in a compact package. The axis layout is designed with no overhangs to ensure outstanding accuracy over the full range of axis travel. The guideways are integrated with the machine to provide superior accuracy and rigidity.
The V33i vertical machining center incorporates a number of design features specifically designed to increase precision and maintain it for the long periods of time typical of most die and mould applications. With X- and Z-axes on the spindle and Y-axis under the table, the machine construction provides superior performance in a compact package. Designed with no overhangs or unsupported areas, the V33i delivers outstanding accuracy over the full range of the machine. Painstakingly polished to a precision finish, the guideways are integral to the machine castings to provide superior stiffness, rigidity and precision.
