Technical Specifications

Technical parameters are based on the information currently available and are for reference only. Final specifications should be confirmed against the actual machine, nameplate and inspection results before purchase.

Main Features

High-Productivity Horizontal Machining

The used Makino a51 CNC horizontal machining center is designed for continuous production environments where machining efficiency, repeatability and process stability are important.

Its horizontal machining configuration makes it particularly suitable for multi-face machining, allowing manufacturers to reduce repeated workpiece handling and improve overall production efficiency.

Three-Point Machine Support System

The machine uses a three-point support design, helping simplify machine installation and relocation when workshop layouts change.

This structure can reduce the complexity of machine leveling and makes the equipment more convenient for factories purchasing and relocating used CNC machinery.

Ball Screw Cooling

High-speed axis movement generates heat that may affect machining accuracy over long production cycles.

The Makino a51 incorporates a ball screw cooling system designed to control thermal generation and help maintain machining stability during extended operation.

Spindle Cooling and Lubrication

The spindle system uses cooling and lubrication technologies intended to reduce the influence of heat generated during high-speed machining.

Controlled cooling oil circulates through the spindle structure, helping manage spindle temperature during prolonged production.

This makes the machine suitable for manufacturers requiring stable machining performance across repeated production cycles.

Fast Tool Changing

With an indicated tool change time of approximately 0.9 seconds and a 40-tool magazine, the machine can support multi-process production while reducing non-cutting time.

Fast Pallet Changing

The approximately 7-second pallet change time allows loading and unloading preparation to be separated from machining operations, helping improve machine utilization in batch production environments.

Applications

The used Makino a51 horizontal machining center is suitable for medium- to high-volume precision machining operations, especially where multiple surfaces must be machined efficiently.

Typical applications include:

• Automotive components
• Engine and transmission parts
• Hydraulic components
• Construction machinery parts
• Industrial equipment components
• Aerospace components
• Aircraft precision parts
• Semiconductor equipment components
• Precision mechanical parts
• Aluminum and steel component machining
• Mold and fixture components
• Batch production of complex CNC parts

It is particularly suitable for manufacturers looking to increase production capacity without making the significantly higher capital investment required for a new Japanese horizontal machining center.
