Our best estimate for the Makino a77 is $700,000 – $950,000. 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-a77-hmc#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
No, the a77 is not in Makino's current lineup. The figures on this page are the listed figures and have not been checked against Makino, so treat them as a guide and confirm travels, spindle and magazine on any used machine.
Both use 630 mm pallets. The a81nx has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X and Y, 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of Z and a 10,000 rpm CAT50 spindle as standard. The listed a77 has 1,100 x 1,050 x 1,100 mm (43.3 x 41.3 x 43.3 in) of travel and an 8,000 RPM spindle as standard, 14,000 RPM optional.
The listed spindle runs to 8,000 RPM as standard, with 14,000 RPM optional, and is rated 37 kW (50 hp) continuous. The taper is listed as CAT50 / HSK-A100, so check which interface the machine you are inspecting has before buying tooling.
The work envelope is listed as ø1,100 x 1,050 mm (ø43.3 x 41.3 in) and the maximum work weight as 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), on 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallets. The load includes the fixture, so heavy tombstones eat into it.
