Used Makino D500 5-Axis Machining Center for Sale

This used Makino D500 5-axis vertical machining center is a low-hour, high-specification CNC machine equipped with Makino Professional 6 control, a 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle, 40-tool ATC, linear scales and Renishaw OMP60 workpiece probing. With approximately 992 operating hours and 699 cutting hours, it is an attractive option for buyers requiring high-precision simultaneous 5-axis machining without the investment level of a new machine.

Technical Specifications

The core D500 architecture uses 550 × 1,000 × 500 mm travels, a 150° A-axis, continuous C-axis and Ø500 mm table. Makino positions the D500 as a high-accuracy vertical 5-axis platform for complex machining, with thermal stability and direct-drive rotary-axis technology being important design characteristics.

Recorded Machine Hours

These relatively low recorded hours are an important selling point for buyers comparing this machine with older used Makino D500 units.

Installed Equipment Highlights

The machine configuration includes a 20,000 rpm core-cooled HSK-A63 spindle, 40-position HSK tool magazine, 0.1 μm X/Y/Z scale feedback, Renishaw OMP60 probing, automatic non-contact tool measurement, broken-tool detection, through-spindle coolant, through-spindle air, shower coolant, oil skimmer, automatic air blower and mist-collector interface.

It also includes advanced CNC functions such as Tool Center Point Control, 3D cutter compensation, tilted working plane commands, high-speed smoothing, adaptive control, Collision Safe Guard, rigid tapping and helical interpolation.

Configuration note: the base equipment document refers to a standard 14,000 rpm spindle, while the installed package specification identifies a 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle. For the sales listing, the installed 20,000 rpm configuration should therefore be used, subject to final machine inspection and spindle verification.

Applications & Suitable Industries

The used Makino D500 5-axis machining center is especially suitable for manufacturers that need to machine complex components in fewer setups while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Typical applications include aerospace impellers, blisks, structural components and precision brackets; mold and die inserts with complex 3D surfaces; medical and precision engineering components; semiconductor equipment parts; automotive tooling; titanium, stainless steel and aluminum components; prototype machining; and high-mix, low-to-medium-volume precision production.

Its tilting A-axis and continuous C-axis allow multiple faces and complex contours to be machined in a single setup, helping reduce fixture changes, accumulated positioning error and production lead time. Makino also identifies mold machining, medical, semiconductor and aerospace components such as blisks and impellers among the relevant application areas for the D500 platform.
