Makino MAG.A8-H

The Makino MAG.A8-H is the wide version of the MAG.A8: a horizontal 5-axis machining center with 8,200 mm (322.8 in) of X, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z, working on an 8,000 x 2,300 mm (315.0 in x 90.6 in) pallet. Makino describes it as built for aerospace machining, with a spindle that reaches 33,000 rpm and that it quotes at 130kW.

Only the width changes. Against the MAG.A8, Y goes from 2,200 mm (86.6 in) to 2,500 mm and the pallet from 8,000 x 2,000 mm to 8,000 x 2,300 mm. The maximum workpiece follows: 8,000 mm X 2,500 mm x 500 mm (with limitations), given in inches as 315 in X 98.4 in x 19.7 in. Note that the listed part width equals the full Y travel and exceeds the 2,300 mm pallet width, so a part of that width overhangs the pallet edges and its support has to be planned.

Part weight is not raised with the size. The limit stays at 5,000 kg (11,000 lb), the same as the narrower A8 and the shorter MAG.A6, so the H suits wide but light structure such as large skins and frames in aluminium rather than heavy weldments.

The remaining figures match the rest of the series. Rapid traverse and cutting feed are 65,000 mm/min (X, Y, Z). The A axis covers 220° (-110° ~ +110°), the C axis 360°, and Makino credits the compact spindle and short pivot point with five-face access. The magazine holds 120 tools, changing in 13 sec tool-to-tool and 20 sec chip-to-chip, with HSK tools up to 305 mm (12.0 in) long, 100 mm (3.9 in) across and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The machine can be integrated with Makino's MMC automatic pallet transfer and storage system.
