3-axis CNC machining center V56i

verticalHSK A-63CAT40

The V56i Graphite vertical machining center is designed for die / mould applications – including machining of graphite electrodes. The machine incorporates a fully enclosed splash guard that completely seals graphite dust inside the machine – handling it with an integral dust collection system - for a clean shop environment. In addition, the V56i Graphite is outfitted with the Makino Professional 6 control providing a stable, secure platform with reliable performance on the NC side, while providing an operator-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). This latest-generation machine tool control offers large color touch-sensitive, on-screen, menu-driven applications. Icons provide “hot links” and quick access to critical information that may be required by the operator. In addition, the new control platform provides all of the functions typical of a PC (cut, paste, copy, find, replace, etc.) that are rarely available on a machine tool control. Advanced data management technology and Makino’s proprietary, next-generation Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) servo control deliver the lowest cycle times achievable by reducing machining cycle times on dies, complex cavities and cores.
