Our best estimate for the Makino a120nx is $1,800,000 - $2,800,000. This is an estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-a120nx#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino gives the maximum workpiece as Ø 2,100 mm x 1,800 mm (Ø 82.7 in x 70.9 in) tall. Weight is limited to 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) as standard and 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) with the optional specification. The standard pallet is 1,000 mm x 1,000 mm (39.4 in x 39.4 in), with 1,250 x 1,000 mm (49.2 in x 39.4 in) as an option.
An 8,000 rpm High-Torque spindle is standard, with a CAT50 taper; HSK-A100 is optional. A 20,000 rpm spindle is the optional alternative. Makino's specification table gives no power or torque figures for either spindle.
Rapid traverse and maximum cutting feed are both 54,000 mm/min on all linear axes, which Makino states as 2,126 inches per minute. The travels are 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in X, 1,600 mm (63.0 in) in Y and 1,700 mm in Z.
The time depends on the tool's weight. Makino lists 2.2 sec for a 12kg tool and 3.3 sec for a 35kg tool, the heaviest the 204 tool magazine accepts. Tools can be up to 356mm (14.0 in) in diameter.
The a120nx is the larger machine: 1,900 mm (74.8 in) of X and 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y against 1,520 mm (59.8 in) and 1,250 mm (49.2 in) on the a92, and a 1,000 mm x 1,000 mm pallet against the a92's 800 x 1,000 mm (31.5 in x 39.4 in). The a92 has a 10,000 rpm standard spindle against the 8,000 rpm of the a120nx.
