Our best estimate for the Makino F9 is $375,000 - $550,000. 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-f9#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Choose by part length. The F9 gives 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 gives 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and 1,550 x 800 mm (61 in x 31.5 in). Spindle, Y, Z, rapids and magazine are the same, so the F9 only pays off if your parts or fixture rows need the extra X.
Up to 1,850 x 800 x 550 mm (72.8 in x 31.5 in x 21.7 in) and 2,500 kg (5,511 lb). The 550 mm (21.7 in) height limit is the one to watch on tall mold bases, since the 650 mm (25.6 in) Z stroke must also cover tool length.
CAT50 is standard and HSK-A100 is the option, on a 50 horsepower, 10,000 RPM spindle. CAT50 suits heavy roughing tools; the HSK-A100 option is worth asking about if the same machine also does a lot of high-speed finishing.
Rapid traverse and cutting feed are both 24,000 mm/min (945 ipm). On a 1,600 mm (63 in) X stroke that makes the order of operations matter: programs that work one area of the table before moving on spend less time in rapid.
