Our best estimate for the Makino SLIM5n APC is $165,000 - $235,000. 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-apc#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
It lets the operator set up a part on one pallet while the machine cuts on the other, which Makino fits to reduce setup time. The gain is largest when loading and clamping take a big share of each cycle.
The SLIM5n takes 600 kg (1,322 lb.) and 26 tools on a fixed 800 mm x 400 mm (31.49 in x 15.74 in) table. The SLIM5n APC takes 300 kg (661 lb.) and 24 tools. Travels, spindle options and rapids are the same on both.
Two HSK-A50 specifications: 16,000 rpm, listed as standard, and 8,000 rpm. Both share the HSK-A50 interface, so tooling carries over. The table gives no spindle power or torque, so ask for the curves if heavy steel cutting is planned.
Makino lists Ø 1,320 mm x 475 mm (with limitations) and 300 kg (661 lb.). The cutting area is set by 710 mm (27.95 in) of X, 400 mm (15.74 in) of Y and 410 mm (16.14 in) of Z, so check that every feature lies within those travels.
