The GF8 vertical machining center implements FF Machining for medium to large-size dies and molds. Its high-torque, high-speed spindle employs high feedrates at shallow depths of cut to achieve high-efficiency milling. Also provides heavy-duty cutting performance equal to standard spindle, enabling it to execute deep cuts as well. The spindle features Makino’s oil jet lubrication system to minimize thermal distortion during high-speed operation for enhanced machining accuracy. The GF Series machines feature Makino’s industry-leading GI-control that suppresses vibration even at fast feedrates of 12 m/min to enhance machined surface quality substantially and also reduce machining time. Accuracy is improved in the X and Y axes, which is most critical for die and mold machining.
