Overview

Among the listed MCD models, the Makino MCD2516-5XB has the largest metric envelope: 250 mm (9.8 in) of X, 150 mm (5.9 in) of Y and 200 mm (7.9 in) of Z, a 250 mm (9.8 in) round table rated for 60 kg (132 lb), and a 40,000 RPM HSK-E32 spindle with the strongest motor of the group at 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). It is absent from Makino's current lineup, perhaps an older model, and none of its listed figures has been verified.

Set beside the MCD2016-5XB, which lists 200 mm (7.9 in) of X, 150 mm (5.9 in) of Z, a 200 mm (7.9 in) table, 40 kg (88 lb) and 3.7 kW (5.0 hp), this model is a step up on every one of those rows. A verified point of reference is Makino's current D200Z: 350 mm (13.7 in) of X, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y, 250 mm (9.8 in) of Z, a 300 mm diameter (11.81 in diameter) table and a 30,000 rpm HSK-E50 spindle.

The table also carries a set of inch rows that cannot apply to a machine of that size. They list a 70.8" X 39.4" pallet, a maximum workpiece of 106.3" X 63" R, a maximum payload of 4,400 lbs., tools up to 11.81" across, a 6,000 rpm spindle, and 630 in/min for both rapids and cutting feed. Their rotary axes, A at 130° (-110°to +20°), B at +/- 225° and C None, contradict the metric B axis of +120° to -30° (150° total) and C axis of 360° (continuous). A 106.3" part on a 250 mm table is impossible, so one block or the other is wrong.

What remains: 20 m/min (787 ipm) rapids, 0.5 µm positioning accuracy, 0.2 µm repeatability, about 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) of machine weight, a Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6) control, and a magazine of 30 (60,99, 120) tools. All of it should be confirmed on the machine before purchase.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) spindle, against 3.7 kW (5.0 hp) on the MCD2016-5XB
Listed 250 mm (9.8 in) round table with a 60 kg (132 lb) load
Listed 40,000 RPM HSK-E32 spindle for small tools
B axis of +120° to -30° (150° total) over a continuous 360° C axis in the metric rows

Limitations

Metric and inch rows conflict, for example a 60 kg (132 lb) table load against a 4,400 lbs. payload
Not in Makino's current lineup, with no verified figures
Even the metric Y travel is only 150 mm (5.9 in)

Best For

Inspection-led purchase of a machine sold as an MCD2516-5XB Small 5-axis parts up to 60 kg (132 lb), if the metric rows are confirmed High-speed fine milling at 40,000 RPM, once verified

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the MCD2516-5XB a current model?

No. It is not in Makino's current lineup and may be an older model. Its listed table has no Makino source and contains rows from two different machines, so treat every figure as unconfirmed.

02 How does the MCD2516-5XB compare with the MCD2016-5XB?

In the metric rows the MCD2516-5XB has 250 mm (9.8 in) of X, 200 mm (7.9 in) of Z, a 250 mm (9.8 in) table, 60 kg (132 lb) of load and 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). The MCD2016-5XB lists 200 mm (7.9 in) of X, 150 mm (5.9 in) of Z, a 200 mm (7.9 in) table, 40 kg (88 lb) of load and 3.7 kW (5.0 hp). Y is 150 mm (5.9 in) on both.

03 Which rows of the table conflict?

The inch rows: a 70.8" X 39.4" pallet, a 106.3" X 63" R workpiece, a 4,400 lbs. payload, a 6,000 rpm spindle and axes of A 130° (-110°to +20°), B +/- 225° and C None. They cannot belong to a machine with a 250 mm (9.8 in) table and a 40,000 RPM spindle.

04 What does the machine weigh?

The listed weight is about 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). It is unverified like the rest of the table, so confirm it before arranging transport and a foundation.
