Overview

The Makino PS105 is the long-table model of Makino's next-generation PS vertical machining centers: 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel over a 1,300 x 510 mm (51.1 in x 20 in) table, with 510 mm (20.0 in) of Y and 460 mm (18.1 in) of Z. It takes workpieces up to 800 kg (1,763 lb.) and is aimed at job shops.

The extra length is the reason to buy it over the PS65, which has 660 mm (26.0 in) of X on a 920 x 510 mm (36.2 in x 20.0 in) table; the PS105's X is about 59% longer. A shop can run long parts such as rails and manifolds, or line up several vises along the table and machine a batch in one cycle. Y stays at 510 mm (20.0 in), so wide plates gain nothing.

The spindle runs 14,000 RPM on CAT40 as standard, with HSK-A63 as an option, and sits on large 85-mm (3.35 inch) bearings to keep it from deflecting under heavy cuts. Makino lists no power or torque for it. A 30-tool magazine is standard and a 60-tool magazine optional, with tools up to 8 kg (17.6 lb). One feature here is a dual-speed tool change system: it recognizes lighter tools and speeds up the exchange cycle for them. Tools can be loaded into the spindle or at an exterior station.

In X the machine rapids at 48,000 mm/min (1,890 ipm), in Y and Z at 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm), and it cuts at up to 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm). Core-cooled ball screws, with thermally controlled lubrication oil running through the ball screw and support bearing, keep the long X axis from growing as it warms.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel on a 1,300 x 510 mm (51.1 in x 20 in) table
Workpieces up to 800 kg (1,763 lb.)
Dual-speed tool change system that speeds up the exchange for lighter tools
14,000 rpm CAT40 spindle with an HSK-A63 option, on 85-mm (3.35 inch) bearings
30 tools as standard, 60 as an option

Limitations

Y travel is 510 mm (20.0 in), so wide plates do not fit despite the long table
Z travel of 460 mm (18.1 in) limits tall parts and long tooling
No spindle power or torque figures in Makino's table
Tool weight limited to 8 kg (17.6 lb)

Best For

Long parts and multi-vise setups along 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X Job shops machining aerospace, medical and automotive parts Heavier workpieces up to 800 kg (1,763 lb.) Tool-heavy jobs with the 60-tool magazine option

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PS105 add over the PS65?

Length and load. The PS65 has 660 mm (26.0 in) of X on a 920 x 510 mm (36.2 in x 20.0 in) table and takes 600 kg (1,323 lb). The PS105 has 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X on a 1,300 x 510 mm (51.1 in x 20 in) table and takes 800 kg (1,763 lb.). Spindle, Y, Z and magazine are the same.

02 What is the dual-speed tool change on the PS105?

Makino fits a tool change system that recognizes lighter tools and runs the exchange faster for them. On jobs dominated by small drills and end mills, that shortens the time spent changing tools; heavy tools up to 8 kg (17.6 lb) still change at the normal speed.

03 Which spindle taper does the PS105 use?

CAT40 is standard on the 14,000 RPM spindle, and HSK-A63 is the option. The spindle runs on 85-mm (3.35 inch) bearings. Choose the taper to match the tooling already in the shop, since the 30 or 60 holders add up.

04 What feed rates does the PS105 run?

Rapid traverse is 48,000 mm/min (1,890 ipm) in X and 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm) in Y and Z. The cutting feedrate goes up to 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm). The fast X rapid matters most here, because moves between vises along the long table are where the time goes.
