Horizontal Machining Center

Extended stroke version for machining of large workpieces

Makino is excited to announce new extended stroke variants of the J5 family of high capability horizontal machining centers. These new J5 variants are designed for machining of large size workpieces that are commonly found in modern automotive structural designs, suspension systems, and EV propulsion units. Three layouts are offered, featuring either a rotary A-axis, B-axis, or combined B-axis over A-axis. By using highly rigid base machine and spindle designs, high metal removal rate machining is possible.

By utilizing a stacked axis design, part handling into / out of the J5 machine via automation such as gantry robots is easily integrated. Beyond this, the basic machine design economizes on floorspace required. The J5 continues to use the true 3-point leveling system common on many other Makino production horizontal machining centers, making initial installation easy, as well as eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance of machine re-alignments.

Technical Specifications

The new variants of the J5 accommodate oversized workpieces typically found in modern automotive structures, suspension components, and EV propulsion systems, with payload weight capacities ranging from 1,320 lbs (600 kg) to 4,400 lbs (2,000 kg) depending on which rotary axis type machine is selected. The X-stroke is a generous 59.1” (1,500 mm), Y-stroke is 39.4” (1,000 mm) for HSK-A63 machines or 36.6” (930 mm) for HSK-A100 machines, and Z-stroke is 25.6” (650 mm). All offered rotary table types are of the direct drive type, which not only speeds up movement times, but also enhances system reliability via simplified mechanical designs.

The J5’s standard 14,000 RPM / HSK-A63 spindle offers output capabilities of 34 HP (25 kW) peak power, and 148 ft-lbs (201 N-m) peak torque, making is ideal for high speed aluminum machining applications. The optional 10,000 RPM / HSK-A100 spindle is offered for customers who need to machine tougher materials, or make deep cut depth per pass cutting part of their application with its 47 HP (35 kW) peak power, and 360 ft-lbs (488 N-m) peak torque capabilities. Tool changer magazine sizes range from a 44 tool capacity, dual drum unit for use with the HSK-A63 type spindle. A similar 36 tool capacity, dual drum unit is paired with the optional HSK-A100 type spindle. Tools up to 17.7” (450 mm) long can be used in the J5 machine.

The J5 comes standard with our high-volume production focused, and Fanuc based Pro-L CNC control, featuring a simplified ladder logic architecture to easily integrate in ancillary features and systems.
