Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Makino DA300 is a compact five-axis vertical machining center for complex production parts, with a 300 mm x 340 mm (11.81 in x 13.38 in) rectangular integral table, travels of 450 mm (17.7 in) in X, 620 mm in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z, and a 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle. Makino's brief for it was to combine vertical and horizontal design features in a very small footprint.

The table sits in a direct-drive trunnion: A tilts 150° (+30 to -120) and C turns 360°, which gives access to five sides of a part in one setup. Parts up to 450 mm diameter x 400 mm (conditional) and 250 kg (551 lb) can be loaded. The rectangular table is prepared with pneumatic ports, so it can be tied into a pallet system for quick part exchange instead of being loaded by hand.

The spindle is rated 29.5 HP at 20,000 rpm, which Makino presents as enough for milling, drilling and tapping across a wide range of production parts. Rapid traverse and cutting feedrate are both 60,000 mm/min (2,362 ipm), and the control combines the Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5 tool-path processing to keep non-cutting time short.

One standard feature is aimed at unattended running: a Vision BTS (Broken Tool Sensor) checks tools outside the work zone, so the check does not add to the cycle. A 60-tool magazine is standard, and 118 and 311-tool magazines are optional. Chip-to-chip time is 3.5 sec. Tools are limited to 70 mm / 140 mm (ALL / ADJ) (2.76 in / 5.51 in (ALL / ADJ)), that is 70 mm with every pocket full and 140 mm with the adjacent pockets empty, and to 8 kg (17.6 lb).

For more envelope in the same series, the Makino DA500 has 800 mm (31.49 in) of X, 900 mm (35.43 in) of Y and 550 mm (21.65 in) of Z. For an automated cell built around this machine, Makino offers the DA300 Automation package with a polygon taper work pallet and 118 tools as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the DA300 have?

A 20,000 rpm spindle with an HSK-A63 taper, rated 29.5 HP. Makino positions it for milling, drilling and tapping on a wide range of production parts. No other spindle is listed in the spec table.

02 How big a part fits in the DA300?

Up to 450 mm diameter x 400 mm (conditional) and 250 kg (551 lb). The integral table is 300 mm x 340 mm (11.81 in x 13.38 in), and travels are 450 mm (17.7 in) X, 620 mm Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) Z.

03 Can the DA300 be connected to a pallet system?

Yes. The rectangular integral table has pneumatic ports so it can be integrated into a pallet system for quick part exchange. For a ready-made package, Makino lists the DA300 Automation, which uses a polygon taper work pallet and 118 tools (311 optional).

04 What does the Vision BTS on the DA300 do?

It is a broken tool sensor, standard on the DA300, that checks tools outside the machine work zone. Because the check happens away from the cut, Makino says it confirms tool integrity without adding to part cycle time.

05 How many tools does the DA300 hold?

60 as standard, with 118 and 311-tool magazines as options. Chip-to-chip time is 3.5 sec. Tools can be 70 mm (2.76 in) in diameter with all pockets used, 140 mm (5.51 in) with adjacent pockets empty, and up to 8 kg (17.6 lb).
