Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Makino V77L (40 Taper) is the long-bed V77: 1,500 x 700 x 650 mm (59.1 x 27.6 x 25.6 in) of travel on a 1,650 x 700 mm (65.0 x 27.6 in) table, with a 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle and HSK-A63 as the optional taper. Makino does not carry it in its current lineup and it is likely an older model, so the listed figures here have not been confirmed against Makino.
Length is the whole story. Against the V77 (40 Taper), which has 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X and a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table, the L adds X travel and table length while keeping the same Y, Z, spindle and 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) table load. That makes room for long single parts such as rails, manifolds and slender mold inserts, or for a row of fixtures loaded one after another along X.
The maximum workpiece is listed as 1,650 x 700 x 550 mm (65.0 x 27.6 x 21.7 in) in one row; another row repeats the shorter V77 figure of 55.1 x 27.6 x 21.7 in, which looks carried over from the smaller machine. With 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z and a 550 mm part height, there is room for long tooling above the work.
Tools can be up to 120 mm (4.72 in) and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The magazine holds 30 tools, with 40 as an option, and the tool change time is 5 sec. Rapid and cutting feed are both 787 in/min, which is slow for covering 1,500 mm of X on positioning moves. The control is a Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of X travel on a 1,650 x 700 mm (65.0 x 27.6 in) table for long parts
- 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle, HSK-A63 optional
- 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z travel with a 550 mm (21.7 in) maximum workpiece height
- 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) table load
Limitations
- Rapid traverse of 787 in/min makes long X moves slow
- 30 tools as standard and 40 at most

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The V77L has 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of X and a 1,650 x 700 mm (65.0 x 27.6 in) table. The V77 (40 Taper) has 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X and a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table. Y, Z, the 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle and the 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) table load are the same.
02
One row gives the maximum workpiece as 1,650 x 700 x 550 mm (65.0 x 27.6 x 21.7 in), the full table. Another row gives 55.1 x 27.6 x 21.7 in, the V77 figure. Every feature still has to fall within 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of X travel.
03
The Makino F9 has 1,600 x 800 x 650 mm of travel on a 1,850 x 800 mm table with a 10,000 rpm CAT50 spindle. The V77L (40 Taper) has 1,500 x 700 x 650 mm on a 1,650 x 700 mm table with a 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle: smaller and lighter-cutting, but faster for finishing.
04
Up to 120 mm (4.72 in) in diameter and 8 kg (17.6 lb) per tool. The magazine holds 30 as standard, 40 as an option, and tool change time is 5 sec. For larger cutters, the V77L (50 Taper) accepts tools up to 145 mm (5.71 in).
