Our best estimate for the Makino G5 is $300,000 - $420,000. This is an estimate for a cnc grinding machines 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-g5#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino describes the G5 as a 5-axis horizontal machining center capable of grinding, milling, drilling and tapping on the same machine. The point is to take a part from milling to grinding without moving it to another machine, cutting out-of-cut time between operations.
Both have a 250 mm (9.8 in) pallet, a 12,000 rpm spindle and 60 tools. The Makino G7 is larger, with 690 mm (27.2 in) of X, 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y and 730 mm (28.7 in) of Z against 520 x 560 x 600 mm (20.5 x 22.0 x 23.6 in) on the G5, and a 535 Ø x 400 SR envelope against 440 Ø x 380 SR.
The work envelope is listed as 440 Ø x 380 SR, and the maximum workpiece weight is 120 kg (265 lb). The pallet is 250 mm (9.8 in). That suits small turbine components rather than large rings or casings.
Tools up to 70 mm (2.8 in) in diameter, or 220 mm (8.7 in) with limitation, and up to 12 kg (26 lb). Length is limited to 360 mm (14.2 in) with a CAT shank or 400 mm (15.7 in) with HSK. The magazine holds 60 tools.
