Our best estimate for the Makino V56i is $275,000 - $425,000. 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-v56i#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The F5 Professional 6 has 900 x 500 x 450 mm of travel, a 1,000 x 500 mm (39.4 in x 19.7 in) table, 20,000 rpm (Optional: 30,000 rpm) and 30 tools. The V56i has the same X and Z, 550 mm (21.7 in) of Y, a 1,050 x 550 mm (41.3 x 21.7 in) table, the same speeds and 25 tools standard.
The listed maximum workpiece is 1,050 x 720 x 450 mm (41.3 x 28.3 x 17.7 in), with a table load of 800 kg (1,763 lb). The 720 mm depth is more than the 550 mm table, so a part can overhang in Y, but it still has to reach every feature within 550 mm (21.7 in) of Y travel.
HSK-A63 tools as standard, or HSK-F63 with the optional spindle. Each tool can be up to 80 mm (3.15 in) in diameter and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The standard magazine holds 25, with 40 and 60 listed as options, and the tool change time is 6.5 sec.
It is not in Makino's current lineup and is likely an older model. When looking at a used V56i, check which spindle is fitted (20,000 or the optional 30,000 RPM), the magazine size, and that the control is the listed Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5.
