How much does the Makino V100S cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Makino V100S is the largest vertical 5-axis die and mold machine in the V-S line: a 2,000 mm x 2,500 mm (78.73 in x 98.42 in) table, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X, 2,500 mm (98.42 in) of Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, rated for workpieces up to 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The spindle is the same 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 unit used across the series.
The weight rating is the headline. At 15,000 kg it carries three times the 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) of the Makino V90S, which shares its X and Z travels. That opens the machine to heavy die sets and large mold bases that a smaller finishing machine cannot hold. The listed maximum workpiece is 2,000 mm x 2,500 mm x 1,050 mm (with limitation), so a block taller than the 800 mm Z stroke can be loaded, though Makino flags that height as conditional.
The long axis is also the slow one. X and Z rapid at 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) and cut at 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min), while Y runs at 25,000mm/min (984 in/min) for both rapid and cutting. For finishing passes laid along X that hardly matters; for toolpaths that raster in Y across a 2,500 mm die it lengthens the cycle, so it is worth orienting the part with that in mind.
Rotary motion is limited to 60° (-30° to +30°) on A and 120° (-60° to +60°) on C, enough to tilt the tool on steep die walls. Makino fits the Professional 6 control with SGI.5 servo control, and claims up to 40 percent shorter cycles on dies, complex cavities and cores against most other control technologies. The magazine holds 40 tools, or 120 as an option, with an 8 sec tool-to-tool time and an 8 kg (17.6 lb) tool weight limit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) workpiece rating for heavy die sets and mold bases
- 2,000 mm x 2,500 mm (78.73 in x 98.42 in) table with matching 2,000 mm X and 2,500 mm Y travel
- Workpieces up to 1,050 mm high can be loaded, with limitation, above the 800 mm (31.5 in) Z stroke
- 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle with 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min) cutting feed on X and Z
- Professional 6 control with SGI.5, which Makino credits with up to 40 percent shorter die and mold cycles
Limitations
- Y-axis rapid and cutting feed are both 25,000mm/min (984 in/min), well below the 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) rapid on X and Z
- The 1,050 mm workpiece height is listed as with limitation, and Z travel stays at 800 mm (31.5 in)
- A and C rotary ranges of 60° and 120° are for tool tilt, not five-sided part machining
- HSK-A63 taper with an 8 kg (17.6 lb) tool weight limit is a finishing setup, not a heavy roughing one
- 40 tools standard; the 120-tool magazine is an option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Y travel and weight. The Makino V90S has 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y on a 2,000 mm x 1,300 mm (78.73 in x 51.18 in) table and takes 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The V100S has 2,500 mm (98.42 in) of Y on a 2,000 mm x 2,500 mm (78.73 in x 98.42 in) table and takes 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), with Y rapids of 25,000mm/min (984 in/min).
02
The table gives 25,000mm/min (984 in/min) for Y, against 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) rapid and 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min) cutting on X and Z. Makino's short table does not give the reason. In practice, program long finishing rasters along X where possible to keep cycle times down.
03
The maximum workpiece is listed as 2,000 mm x 2,500 mm x 1,050 mm (with limitation), while Z travel is 800 mm (31.5 in). A taller block can therefore be loaded under some conditions, but ask Makino which conditions apply before planning around the 1,050 mm figure.
04
The Makino D2 travels 2,200 mm (86.61 in) in X, 2,300 mm (90.56 in) in Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Z, with a 15,000 rpm HSK - A100 spindle and 60 tools. The V100S has more Y at 2,500 mm (98.42 in), less Z at 800 mm (31.5 in), and a faster 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle aimed at finishing.
05
HSK-A63 tools in a 40-tool magazine, or 120 with the option. Tools may weigh up to 8 kg (17.6 lb); the diameter limit is given as 70 mm / 100 mm (2.76 in / 3.93 in) without stating when the larger figure applies. Tool-to-tool time is 8 sec.
