Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Makino Pro 3 page describes a 630 mm pallet horizontal machining center with 1,150 x 900 x 900 mm (45.3 x 35.4 x 35.4 in) of travel and a CAT50 spindle. Makino does not show a machine of this name in its current lineup, and the listed figures could not be checked against a Makino model page, so treat this as a guide for assessing a used machine rather than a confirmed specification.
On the listed figures it is a heavy-cutting machine. The standard spindle runs to 6,000 RPM with 37 kW (50 hp) and 833 Nm (614 ft-lb), and a 10,000 RPM spindle is listed as optional, as is an HSK-A100 taper. Pallets are 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) with a table load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Rapid traverse is 60,000 mm/min (2,362 ipm), the magazine holds 80 tools standard with 120 optional, and chip-to-chip time is 4.5 sec.
The table also lists positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) and repeatability of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in), a Makino Professional 6 (SGI.5) control and a machine weight of 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). That weight needs planning for floor loading and rigging on any used purchase.
The current Makino a81nx uses the same 630 mm x 630 mm (24.8 in x 24.8 in) pallet size with 900 mm (35.4 in) of X and Y and 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of Z, a 10,000 rpm standard spindle and 60 tools, so it is the model to compare against if a new machine is also an option.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed 37 kW (50 hp) spindle with 833 Nm (614 ft-lb) at a standard 6,000 RPM, suited to heavy cuts in steel
- 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of X over a 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallet
- 80 tool magazine standard, 120 optional
- Listed table load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
- Listed 60,000 mm/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse
Limitations
- Not in Makino's current lineup, and the listed figures could not be checked against a Makino page
- 6,000 RPM standard spindle limits small-tool work unless the optional 10,000 RPM spindle is fitted
- Listed machine weight of 28,000 kg (61,729 lb) needs a suitable floor and rigging
- Chip-to-chip time of 4.5 sec is the listed figure; there is no tool-to-tool time in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No machine of this name appears in Makino's current lineup, and the listed figures could not be checked against a Makino model page. Treat the figures as a starting point and confirm the travels, spindle and control on the machine itself.
02
The listed standard spindle runs to 6,000 RPM with 37 kW (50 hp) and 833 Nm (614 ft-lb) on a CAT50 taper. A 10,000 RPM spindle and an HSK-A100 taper are listed as options, so check which one a used machine actually has.
03
The listed travels are 1,150 x 900 x 900 mm (45.3 x 35.4 x 35.4 in) over a 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallet, and the listed table load is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). No maximum workpiece diameter is listed, so measure the swing on the machine.
04
Both use a 630 mm pallet. The Makino a81nx has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X and Y, 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of Z, a 10,000 rpm standard spindle and 60 tools. The Pro 3 lists more X at 1,150 mm (45.3 in) and 80 tools, with a 6,000 RPM standard spindle.
