What the maker publishes about the current Makino F5

Makino's F5 is a vertical machining center with X, Y and Z axes, laid out without overhangs on large castings. Travels are 35.4" in X, 19.7" in Y and 17.7" in Z. The table is 39.4" x 19.7", the largest workpiece is 39.4" long, 19.7" wide and 17.7" tall, and table load capacity is 2,204 pounds. The axes use fine pitch ball screws of 8 mm, with scale feedback of 0.05 micron as standard equipment. The spindle is a two-range design that reaches 20,000 rpm and mounts an HSK-63A taper. Its temperature control system uses core cooling, under-race and jacket methods. The lower range serves roughing, while the higher range is used with small tools on fine features. The tool changer is a 30-tool magazine, and a 60-tool magazine is an option.

What fits a Makino F5

Each of these follows from a published specification above, which is named beside it.

HSK-A63 tooling

This machine takes HSK-A63 tooling — a hollow-shank interface, not a 7:24 steep taper. CAT, BT and SK holders do not fit it, and HSK holders of a different size do not fit each other.

Derived from Spindle taper: HSK-63A

What to check on a Makino F5

  • Spindle. The manufacturer gives a spindle speed of 20,000 rpm. Run the spindle to top speed and listen for bearing noise.
  • Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 35.4", Y 19.7" and Z 17.7" of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
  • Tool changer. The manufacturer gives the tool capacity as 30-tool magazine. Cycle every pocket and watch for a hesitation.
