Q: How much does the Makino MAG A9 cost?

Our best estimate for the Makino MAG A9 is $5,000,000 - $8,000,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining centers in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-mag-a9#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Makino MAG A9 appears in the listed figures as the largest of the gantry-type MAG A entries: about 9,000 mm (354.3 in) of X, 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z over a fixed table. It is not in Makino's current lineup and is probably an older model, and the table has not been checked against a Makino source. Treat every figure below as a starting point for inspection rather than a specification.

The listed Y travel stands out. At about 3,000 mm it is wider than any current MAG machine in the comparison: the MAG.A8-H offers 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and 8,200 mm (322.8 in) of X on an 8,000 x 2,300 mm (315.0 in x 90.6 in) pallet. The listed chip handling is a full-length through-table chip conveyor system (9m span), consistent with the X figure.

The spindle is listed at 33,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper and about 80 kW (107 hp). The tool magazine is given as 120-180 tools (configurable), so the count fitted to a particular machine must be checked. Rotary axes are listed as A +30° to -120° (150° total, direct drive) and C 360° (continuous, direct drive), rapids as 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on X and Y and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on Z, and the control as Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does Makino still offer the MAG A9?

It is not in Makino's current lineup and may be an older model. The listed figures are unverified, so the machine's plate and documentation are the place to confirm its travels and spindle.

02 How large is the listed MAG A9 envelope?

About 9,000 mm (354.3 in) in X, 3,000 mm (118.1 in) in Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Z, on a fixed table with a moving gantry column. The table marks the travels as approximate.

03 How does it compare with the MAG.A8-H?

The current MAG.A8-H has 8,200 mm (322.8 in) of X, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z on an 8,000 x 2,300 mm (315.0 in x 90.6 in) pallet, with a 33,000 rpm spindle and 120 tools. The listed MAG A9 figures are larger on every axis but are not verified.

04 How many tools does the MAG A9 hold?

The listed figure is 120-180 tools (configurable), which means the count varies with the magazine fitted. Check the actual magazine on any machine under consideration.
