How much does the Makino V80S 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 V80S is a vertical 5-axis machine for die and mold finishing, the smallest of the V-S series. It has a 1,300 mm x 1,000 mm table, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X, 1,000 mm (39.3 in) of Y and 600 mm (23.6 in) of Z, and a 20,000 rpm spindle with an HSK-A63 taper. Makino positions it for large, complex specialty dies and molds, where the goal is shorter cycles and less handwork after machining.
The listed maximum workpiece is 1,500 mm x 1,200 mm x 550 mm, larger in plan than both the table and the X and Y strokes. A mold base can overhang the table, but the contour still has to fall inside the travels, so check the cavity footprint against 1,300 x 1,000 mm rather than the block size. Workpiece weight is limited to 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), enough for most mid-size mold plates but not for the heavy die sets the larger V90S and V100S are rated for.
The rotary axes are short. A swings 60° (-30° to +30°) and C turns 120° (-60° to +60°). That is a range for tilting the tool into steep walls and tight cavity corners on a 3-D surface, not for full five-sided part machining. Rapid traverse is 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) and the cutting feedrate is 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min).
The control is the Makino Professional 6, which Makino describes as a touch-screen, menu-driven interface with PC-style functions such as cut, paste, find and replace. Its SGI.5 servo control is credited by Makino with cutting cycle times on dies, complex cavities and cores by as much as 40 percent against most other control technologies. The magazine holds 40 tools as standard and 120 as an option, with tools up to 8 kg (17.6 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle for small-tool finishing of 3-D die and mold surfaces
- 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) rapids and a 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min) cutting feedrate
- Workpieces up to 1,500 mm x 1,200 mm x 550 mm can overhang the 1,300 mm x 1,000 mm table
- Makino Professional 6 control with SGI.5 servo control, which Makino credits with up to 40 percent shorter cycles on dies, cavities and cores
- 40-tool magazine with a 120-tool option for long unattended finishing runs
Limitations
- Z travel of 600 mm (23.6 in) and a 550 mm workpiece height limit deep molds
- Workpiece weight is capped at 2,500 kg (5,512 lb)
- Rotary ranges of 60° on A and 120° on C are for tool tilt on contours, not five-sided part work
- 8 sec tool-to-tool change, slow for parts with many short operations
- Tool weight is limited to 8 kg (17.6 lb), and the 120-tool magazine is an option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Makino V90S has the same 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle and 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) rapids but travels 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in X, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z. The V80S is the compact model at 1,300 x 1,000 x 600 mm (51.2 x 39.3 x 23.6 in), with a 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) workpiece limit.
02
A tilts through 60°, from -30° to +30°, and C rotates through 120°, from -60° to +60°. Those ranges let the tool lean into steep walls and corners of a 3-D die surface. Neither axis offers full rotation, so the V80S is not set up to machine five sides of a part in one clamping.
03
40 tools as standard or 120 as an option. Tool weight is limited to 8 kg (17.6 lb), and the table gives the maximum tool diameter as 70 mm / 100 mm (2.76 in / 3.93 in) without stating the condition for the larger figure, so confirm it before planning big face mills. Tool-to-tool time is 8 sec.
04
The Makino Professional 6, with a large color touch screen, menu-driven applications and PC-style editing functions. Makino's SGI.5 servo control is part of the package, and Makino credits it with reducing cycle times on dies, complex cavities and cores by as much as 40 percent against most other control technologies.
05
It depends on part size and speed. The Makino D800Z has an 800 mm ø (31.5 in Ø) table, 1,200 mm (47.24 in) of X and 650 mm (25.59 in) of Z, with 14,000 rpm standard and 20,000 optional. The V80S gives a 1,300 mm x 1,000 mm table and 20,000 rpm as standard, for larger plates finished at high speed.
