V22 Compact Vertical Machining Center
Excellent
for high accuracy, small part machining
MASON,
OH--September
2008--Makino’s
V22 vertical machining center is designed for small part,
high-accuracy machining. The V22 offers a 40,000-RPM spindle with
superior finishing abilities, ideal for intricate work.
The
V22 delivers superior performance in a footprint that is only
two-thirds that of the popular Makino V33. It is ideal for precision
parts manufacturing, such as medical equipment and small and
intricate molds for plastic injection-molding operations.
“Makino
has raised the bar with the V22 as the ultimate hard-milling
solution, going beyond previously attained results on other
machines,” explained Bill Howard, Makino VMC product line
manager. “The machine provides precision, accuracy and
excellent stability.”

this and other new technologies in Makino’s booths A-8301 and
D-4101 (EDM) at the International Manufacturing Technology Show
(IMTS) in Chicago September 8-12, 2008.
Built
for precision and superior surface finishes
Designed
to machine complex materials, including ceramics, as well as
intricate cores and cavities, the V22 offers a standard 11.3 HP
continuous, 40,000-RPM spindle. It is complemented by Makino’s
patented core cooling and under-race lubrication system that has
proven essential for optimal high-performance applications.
The
X-axis of 12.6 inches (320 mm), Y-axis of 11 inches (280 mm) and
Z-axis of 11.8 inches (300 mm) operate in a work zone and table size
of 17.7 inches x 13.8 inches (450 mm x 350 mm). The slideway design
provides for a 787 IPM (20,000 mm/min) rapid traverse and cutting
feedrates.
The
V22 can handle a 220-pound (100 kg) load and maximum 17.7-inch (450
mm) x 18.7-inch (475 mm) x 7-inch (200 mm) workpiece. The machine
features an HSK-E32 spindle interface with a standard 30-tool
automatic tool changer with a larger 60-tool changer option.
ATLM
Option
A
hybrid, automatic tool length measuring device (ATLM) is also
optional. In continuous machining jobs using an ATC, tiny level
differences can occur at the seams of machined surfaces due to tool
changes. Polishing these features to correct such small levels is
very time consuming. The hybrid automatic tool length measuring
device available on the V22 positions the tool tip more accurately to
achieve superior finished surfaces with minimal level differences.
This
unique ATLM device offers a high-tech solution without interfering
with the workzone. The tool tip position is measured with a
low-contact pressure probe, while the spindle nose position is
measured with a non-contact sensor.
Additional
Features
The
V22 also demonstrates its quality and superior capabilities through
the following features:
All axes motion is guaranteed to deliver
straightness and perpendicularity of 0.00012 in. (3 micron) full
stroke. Machine construction is such that there are no overhangs,
providing excellent rigidity and dampening characteristics. Patented
SGI.4 virtually eliminates quadrant protrusions and greatly improves
circularity even at high feedrates. The rapid traverse allows for
fast cutting feeds, which boosts productivity by reducing out-of-cut
time and increasing metal removal rates.
To
maximize shop floor space, the V22 measures 4.9 ft x 6.5 feet (1,500
mm x 2,000 mm), and all setup work is concentrated within the
machine’s front width of 4.9 feet (1500 mm). With a fully
enclosed splash guard, the coolant tank slides out from the front of
the machine. The front-loading chip bucket is shaped for easy and
efficient chip emptying, even during machine operation.
