Machine Comparison
Makino D2 vs Makino D200Z
Makino vs Makino · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Makino D2 and Makino D200Z are both 5-axis machining centers for dies, molds and contoured parts, but they serve different jobs. The D2 is a large machine with 2,200 x 2,300 x 1,100 mm of X/Y/Z travel, a 1,600 mm x 1,200 mm table and a workpiece rating of 10,000 kg (22,046 lb.). The D200Z works within 350 x 300 x 250 mm on a 300 mm diameter table rated for 75 kg (165 lb).
The D2 has the bigger magazine, listed as 60 (136) against 20 + 1 on the D200Z. The D200Z is the faster machine: its HSK-E50 spindle reaches 30,000 rpm as standard against 15,000 rpm on the D2's HSK-A100 spindle, and it rapids at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) against 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min).

Advantages
Makino D2
- 2,200 x 2,300 x 1,100 mm of X/Y/Z travel against 350 x 300 x 250 mm
- Tool magazine listed as 60 (136) against 20 + 1
- Sized for large 3-D dies and molds that the D200Z cannot hold
Makino D200Z
- 30,000 rpm HSK-E50 spindle as standard against 15,000 rpm
- 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse against 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min)
- Suited to small dies and medical parts with complex 3-D contours cut with small-diameter tools
Verdict
These machines do not compete for the same work. Choose the Makino D2 for large 3-D dies and molds, where 2,200 mm of X travel, 1,100 mm of Z and a 10,000 kg workpiece rating are the deciding figures. Choose the Makino D200Z for small dies, molds and medical parts with complex 3-D contours, where a 30,000 rpm spindle for small-diameter cutters matters more than envelope. A part that fits the D200Z's 300 mm diameter table rarely needs the D2.
