Our best estimate for the Makino V22 Graphite is $150,000 - $220,000. 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-v22-graphite#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
It is not in Makino's current lineup and appears to be an older model, so it is bought used. Before buying, check spindle hours, that the sealed enclosure and negative-pressure extraction are complete and working, and that the control is the listed Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6).
HSK-E32 tools up to 1.26 in in diameter and 1.1 lbs in weight, according to the listed table. The standard magazine holds 30, and 60 is given as the larger option. With 3.7 kW (5 hp) at up to 40,000 RPM, the machine suits small end mills and ball cutters rather than face mills or large drills.
The table is 450 x 300 mm (17.7 x 11.8 in) and takes up to 100 kg (220 lb). Travels are 350 mm (13.8 in) in X, 300 mm (11.8 in) in Y and 250 mm (9.8 in) in Z. X travel is shorter than the table, so lay out electrodes within the travels rather than to the table edge.
Cutting graphite makes fine, abrasive and conductive dust that wears guideways and gets into electrics. The V22 Graphite is listed with an integrated sealed enclosure and a negative-pressure system that pulls the dust out of the work zone. On a used machine, confirm the extraction unit came with it.
