Our best estimate for the Makino T4 is $1,500,000 - $2,200,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining centers 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-t4#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The spindle, feeds, tool limits and 5,000 kg (11,022 lb) rating match. The envelope does not. The Makino T2 has a 1,000 mm x 1,250 mm (39.4 in x 49.2 in) pallet, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X and 1,800 mm (70.8 in) of Z, plus B and C rotary rows. The T4 stretches X to 4,200 mm (165.3 in) on a 4,000 x 1,500 mm (157.5 in x 59.1 in) pallet but cuts Z to 1000 mm (39.4 in).
The table lists 4,000 x 1,500 x 700 mm (157.4 x 59.0 x 27.4 in) as the maximum workpiece, at up to 5,000 kg (11,022 lb). That matches the pallet footprint, so the limit on most jobs will be the 700 mm height.
One spindle is listed: 4,000 rpm - 100 kW/1,000 Nm cont. Makino describes it as a high-torque, high-powered spindle for efficient titanium machining. Its top speed is low for aluminum or small-diameter finishing tools.
120 tools as standard and 180 as an option. Each tool can be up to 300 mm (11.8 in) in diameter and 30 kg (66 lb). Tool change takes 20 sec tool-to-tool and 40 sec chip-to-chip, a small share of a long titanium roughing cycle.
