Our best estimate for the Makino SLIM5n is $140,000 - $200,000. 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-slim5n#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The SLIM3n has 500 mm (19.7 in) of X on a 600 mm x 400 mm (23.6 in x 15.7 in) table, takes 400 kg (881 lb) and rapids at 50,000 mm/min (1969 ipm). The SLIM5n has 710 mm (27.95 in) of X on an 800 mm x 400 mm (31.49 in x 15.74 in) table, takes 600 kg (1,322 lb.) and includes the chip conveyor.
The SLIM5n APC adds an integral pallet changer with a 900 mm x 593 mm (35.4 in x 23.3 in) pallet listed, but carries 300 kg (661 lb.) and 24 tools. The SLIM5n has a fixed table, 600 kg (1,322 lb.) and 26 tools.
Both use an HSK-A50 interface. The 16,000 rpm spindle is listed as standard and suits small tools and non-ferrous work; the 8,000 rpm option is the other specification Makino offers for production in a variety of materials. Ask for power and torque curves, which the table does not give.
Rapid traverse is X: 60,000 mm/min / Y: 50,000 mm/min / Z: 60,000 mm/min (X: 2,362 ipm / Y: 1,968 ipm / Z: 2,362 ipm). Cutting feed runs from 1-20,000 mm/min (787 ipm).
