2017 Makino (3) a61NX CNC Horizontal Mills w/ 36 Pallet FMS

The Makino a61nx CNC Horizontal Mill package with a 36-pallet Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is a high-performance solution designed for efficiency, automation, and precision. This system includes three Makino a61nx machines (2015 and 2017 models), each equipped with a 14,000 RPM spindle (240Nm torque), 60-tool automatic tool changers (ATC), and high-pressure 300 psi through-spindle coolant and air for optimal cutting conditions.

The Makino Machining Complex 2 (MMC2) integrates these machines into a fully automated production cell, featuring 18 x 2 high-pallet stockers, three work setting stations, and an MAS-A5 cell controller for centralized job scheduling and workflow optimization. The 36-pallet system ensures continuous operation, reducing downtime and increasing productivity in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments.

Each machine is equipped with advanced measurement and monitoring systems, including Blum TC-50 automatic measuring, Blum Micro Single NT ATLM (split laser design) for tool accuracy. Additional features such as air dryers, barcode reader interfaces, and chip conveyors (LSW880) enhance operational efficiency.

With its combination of high-speed machining, automation, and precision monitoring, this Makino a61nx CNC Horizontal Mill system is ideal for industries requiring scalable, lights-out manufacturing, such as aerospace, medical, and automotive production.
