Our best estimate for the Makino F5 Professional 6 is $180,000 - $310,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) 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-f5-pro-6#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino quotes positioning accuracies to within ±0.000060 inch (0.0015mm) and repeatability of ±0.000040 inch (0.001mm). It attributes these to 8mm-fine pitch ballscrews and 0.05-micron scale feedback, both standard, on an axis configuration without overhangs.
The standard spindle runs to 20,000 rpm with an HSK-A63 taper. A 30,000 rpm spindle is optional, and HSK-F63 is listed as the optional taper. Makino's table for this model has no power or torque figures, so request the spindle curves if roughing in hardened steel is part of the plan.
The Makino F8 is the large-part machine: 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X, 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z on a 1,550 x 800 mm (61 in x 31.5 in) table, with a 10,000 rpm CAT50 spindle. The F5 Professional 6 is smaller at 900 mm (35.4 in) of X but runs twice the spindle speed on HSK-A63 tooling, which suits small-tool finishing.
Workpieces up to 1,000 x 500 x 450 mm (39.4 in x 19.7 in x 17.7 in) and 1,000 kg (2,204 lb). The magazine holds 30 tools, each up to 120 mm (4.72 in) in diameter and 8 kg (17.6 lb).
SGI.5 is Makino's control technology for complex geometry. Makino says it reduces machining cycle times on dies, complex cavities and cores, and medical parts by as much as 40 percent compared with most other control technologies. That is Makino's own claim; the spec table has no control row.
