Makino V56i Graphite

The V56i Graphite features a low-vibration, high-speed spindle and Makino’s Professional 6 Control and proprietary SGI.5 software to deliver high-accuracy, high-speed machining. The V56i Graphite has a fully enclosed splash guard that completely seals graphite dust inside for a clean shop environment. Besides sealing graphite dust, dry machining of steel and castings is also possible. The machine is equipped with core-cooled ballscrews, support bearings and motor mounts, as well as a cored-cooled saddle design with Nano slideway to control machine thermal growth, providing sustained accuracy in long cycle-time, complex geometry die/mold work. The spindle features Makino’s unique, patented core-cooling and under-race lubrication system, minimizing thermal distortion at high spindle speeds. Integrated construction of the spindle and drive motor rotor reduces vibration during high-speed operation. In addition, optimum axis layout and machine cons truction gives superior performance in a compact package. The axis layout is designed with no overhangs to ensure outstanding accuracy over the full range of axis travel. Painstakingly polished to a precision finish, the guideways are integrated with the machine to provide superior accuracy and rigidity. Tooling also includes anATC 40 option.
