Our best estimate for the Makino J5 is $280,000 - $400,000. 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-j5#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The standard spindle runs to 14,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper, 34 hp (25 kW) peak power and 148 ft-lbs (201 N-m) peak torque, for high-speed aluminium work. The optional spindle runs to 10,000 RPM with an HSK-A100 taper, 47 HP (35 kW) and 360 ft-lbs (488 N-m) peak, for tougher materials and deeper cuts. It comes with a 36 tool magazine instead of 44.
The sources disagree. Makino's specification table lists 650 mm of Y. Its description of the extended-stroke J5 gives 1,000 mm (39.4 in) for HSK-A63 machines and 930 mm (36.6 in) for HSK-A100 machines. X is 1,500 mm (59.1 in) and Z 650 mm (25.6 in) in both. Ask Makino to confirm Y for the configuration you are quoting.
Payload ranges from 600 kg (1,320 lbs) to 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs), depending on which rotary axis type is chosen. Workpiece size and weight for each type are given on request. All the rotary tables are direct drive.
The J5 comes standard with Makino's Pro-L CNC control, which is Fanuc based and focused on high-volume production. Makino describes it as having a simplified ladder logic architecture, so ancillary features and systems can be integrated more easily.
Tools up to 450 mm (17.7 in) long and 265mm (10.4 in) in diameter. Tool weight is 8 kg (17.6 lb) with the HSK-A63 spindle and 20 kg (44 lb) with the HSK-A100 spindle. The magazine is a 44 tool dual drum unit with HSK-A63, or a 36 tool dual drum unit with HSK-A100.
