Our best estimate for the Makino F8 is $450,000 - $650,000. 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-f8#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
A 50 horsepower, 10,000 RPM spindle with a CAT50 taper as standard; HSK-A100 is the option. That combination is aimed at heavy roughing and at large cutters, with tools up to 200 mm (7.87 in) in diameter and 20 kg (44 lb).
Only the length. The Makino F9 has 1,600 mm (63 in) of X and a 1,850 x 800 mm (72.8 in x 31.5 in) table. The Makino F8 has 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X and a 1,550 x 800 mm (61 in x 31.5 in) table. Y, Z, spindle, rapids and the 30-tool magazine are the same on both.
Up to 1,550 x 800 x 550 mm (61 in x 31.5 in x 21.7 in) and 2,500 kg (5,511 lb). Add the weight of fixtures and any clamping plates to the part before checking it against that limit.
Makino fits scale feedback and core-cooled ballscrews as standard. Scales measure the true axis position, and cooled ballscrews limit the expansion that builds up when a large mold is cut for hours, so the finish passes stay matched to the roughing.
