The Makino MCD2018 is an industrial-grade CNC Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC) powered by the Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6, SGI.5). a top spindle speed of 20,000 RPM, and a 3-axis kinematic layout. It supports standardized digital factory monitoring via MTConnect.
Makino MCD2018 HMC, no longer in Makino's lineup. The listed figures conflict (500 x 500 mm vs 70.9" x 51.2" pallet); check before buying used.

Our best estimate for the Makino MCD2018 is $450,000 - $650,000. 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-mcd2018#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
Makino does not show the MCD2018 in its current lineup, so it is most likely available only as a used machine. Its spec table could not be checked against a Makino model page, so confirm every figure on the machine itself.
The listed table holds two sets of figures. One gives 800 x 550 x 500 mm travels, a 500 x 500 mm pallet and a 20,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle. The other gives a 70.9" x 51.2" pallet, a 6,000 rpm spindle, a payload of 17,600 lbs and workpieces of 86.6" ᴓ x 82.7". They cannot describe the same machine.
Measure the pallet and read the axis travels and spindle speed from the control, because these decide which of the listed sets is right. Check the tool magazine size, since the listed options run from 30 to 399 tools, and confirm the control is the listed Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6, SGI.5).
The listed control is Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6, SGI.5). As with the rest of the table, this could not be checked against a Makino page, so confirm the control version on the machine before planning programs or post-processors around it.
