The V22 vertical machining center provides precision, accuracy and excellent stability in a compact unit. Designed to machine complex materials, including ceramics, intricate cores and cavities, the V22 offers a standard 11.3 HP continuous, 40,000-RPM spindle that is complemented by Makino’s patented core cooling and under-race lubrication system. The machine features an HSK-E32 spindle interface with a standard 30-tool automatic tool changer with a larger 60-tool changer option. Machine construction is such that there are no overhangs, providing excellent rigidity and dampening characteristics. 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). The V22 is designed to eliminate vibration, rotational deflection and thermal distortion to ensure high reliability. Integrally cast with the machine, the V22’s slideways provide high accuracy and rigidity.
