Machine Comparison
Makino PS105 vs Makino PS65
Makino vs Makino · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Makino PS105 and Makino PS65 are the same general-purpose CAT40 vertical machining center in two lengths. They share 510 mm (20.0 in) of Y and 460 mm (18.1 in) of Z travel, a 14,000 rpm spindle with HSK-A63 optional, 30 tools (60 optional), 48,000 mm/min X rapids and the Makino Professional P control.
The PS105 is the longer machine, with 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel against 660 mm (26.0 in), a 1,300 x 510 mm table against 920 x 510 mm, and an 800 kg (1,763 lb.) table load against 600 kg (1,323 lb). The PS65 offers the same spindle and controls in a shorter format.

Advantages
Makino PS105
- 1,050 mm (41.3 in) X travel against 660 mm (26.0 in)
- 1,300 x 510 mm table against 920 x 510 mm
- 800 kg (1,763 lb.) table load against 600 kg (1,323 lb)
Makino PS65
- Shorter 920 x 510 mm table format for parts within 660 mm (26.0 in) of X travel
- Sized for medical instruments and small to mid-size aerospace parts
Verdict
The spindle, Y and Z travel, tooling and rapids are identical, so part length decides. Choose the Makino PS105 for long aerospace structural parts or multiple fixtures along the X axis, where 1,050 mm of travel and an 800 kg load are useful. Choose the Makino PS65 for medical instruments, implant components and small to mid-size aerospace parts that fit within 660 mm of X travel.
