Our best estimate for the Makino J6 is $400,000 - $600,000. 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-j6#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino offers two four-axis J6 machines, one with an A-axis and one with a B-axis, and one five-axis J6 with a B over A axis configuration. On the A/B type the A-axis range is +90° / -180°. Workpiece weight is 500 kg (1,100 lb.) on the B-axis type and 400 kg (880 lb) on the other two.
Travels are 750 mm (29.5 in) in X, 560 mm (22.0 in) in Y and 500 mm in Z. Pallet size and maximum workpiece size differ by kinematic variant and are not given as single figures, so ask Makino for the envelope of the variant you are considering.
An HSK-A63 spindle running to 16000 rpm is standard, with a 12000 rpm spindle as the option. Makino's specification table does not list spindle power or torque. The machine is aimed at non-ferrous work, which fits a high-speed HSK-A63 spindle.
The J6 has 750 mm (29.5 in) of X against the Makino J3's standard 400 mm (15.7 in), rapids of 75,000 mm/min (2,953 ipm) against 65,000 mm/min, 30 tools against 15, and an HSK-A63 taper where the J3 has HSK-A50 as standard. The J3 is the machine for smaller parts.
The magazine holds 30 tools, or 40 as an option. Tools can be up to Ø100 mm (Ø 3.9 in) in diameter, or Ø125 mm (Ø 4.9 in) with limitations, and weigh up to 8 kg (17.6 lb.). Chip-to-chip time is 2.0 sec +/- 10%.
