How much does the Makino V90S 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 V90S is the mid-size vertical 5-axis die and mold machine of the V-S range, with a 2,000 mm x 1,300 mm (78.73 in x 51.18 in) table and travels of 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in X, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z. Like its siblings it runs a 20,000 rpm spindle with an HSK-A63 taper.
What sets it apart is the long, rectangular envelope. X is half again as long as Y, so long dies lie along the table, and the 800 mm Z stroke leaves room for tall cores. Makino lists the maximum workpiece as 2,200 mm x 1,500 mm x 700 mm (86.61 in x 59.05 in x 27.55 in), so a die shoe can extend past the table edge. The weight limit is 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), twice the 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) of the Makino V80S.
Five-axis motion comes from short rotary strokes, 60° (-30° to +30°) on A and 120° (-60° to +60°) on C. They let the tool tilt to keep a short, stiff cutter on steep cavity walls; a shorter tool deflects less on a long finishing pass. Axis rates are 58,000 mm/min (2,283 in/min) rapid and 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min) cutting.
Makino's stated aim for the V90S is to cut cycle times and handwork on large, complex specialty dies and molds. It ships with the Makino Professional 6 control and SGI.5 servo control. The standard magazine is 40 tools, with 120 optional; tool-to-tool time is 8 sec and tool weight is limited to 8 kg (17.6 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X on a 2,000 mm x 1,300 mm (78.73 in x 51.18 in) table for long dies
- 800 mm (31.5 in) Z stroke with workpieces up to 700 mm (27.55 in) high
- 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) workpiece rating, twice that of the V80S
- 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle with 40,000 mm/min (1,575 in/min) cutting feed for high-speed finishing
- SGI.5 servo control on the Makino Professional 6, which Makino credits with up to 40 percent shorter die and mold cycles
Limitations
- A and C rotary strokes of 60° and 120° do not allow full five-sided machining
- Y travel of 1,300 mm (51.2 in) is well short of the 2,500 mm (98.42 in) of the V100S
- 8 kg (17.6 lb) tool weight limit and HSK-A63 taper restrict heavy roughing cutters
- Standard magazine is 40 tools; the 120-tool magazine is an option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Makino V80S travels 1,300 x 1,000 x 600 mm (51.2 x 39.3 x 23.6 in). The Makino V100S has the same 2,000 mm (78.7 in) X and 800 mm (31.5 in) Z as the V90S but 2,500 mm (98.42 in) of Y. The V90S keeps Y at 1,300 mm (51.2 in), with a 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) workpiece limit.
02
Makino lists 2,200 mm x 1,500 mm x 700 mm (86.61 in x 59.05 in x 27.55 in) and 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The block can be larger than the 2,000 mm x 1,300 mm table, but the machined area has to sit within the 2,000 x 1,300 x 800 mm travels.
03
Not in the usual sense. The A-axis moves 60° (-30° to +30°) and the C-axis 120° (-60° to +60°). That tilts the tool against steep surfaces of a die or mold, but it cannot present all sides of a part to the spindle.
04
The magazine holds 40 tools, or 120 with the option. Tools may weigh up to 8 kg (17.6 lb), and the maximum diameter is given as 70 mm / 100 mm (2.76 in / 3.93 in), without the condition for the larger size stated in the table. Tool-to-tool change is 8 sec.
