Makino MMC2 Automated Material Handling System

Makino’s MMC2 is a modular, automated material handling system that links Makino’s horizontal machining centers, pallet loaders and operators. A servo-controlled vehicle transports material to and from machines, with little, if any, operator intervention. Each system is completely flexible and can be designed for your facility using standard components while its modular flexibility permits future expansion as required.


Spindle Utilization up to 95 Percent
The Makino Machining Complex (MMC) assigns work and initiates operations automatically, based on machine and material availability, utilizing maximum spindle capabilities and monitoring all automated procedures.

Up to 15 machining centers and four different work-setting stations can be included in MMC. The system can handle up to 200 pallet stockers—stacked either one, two or three layers high—with an unlimited number of parts and fixtures. 

The MMC2 system software features in-cell production scheduling, equipment status monitoring, NC program management, tool data management and reporting capability.
