2001 Makino A55E CNC Horizontal Mill

The 2001 Makino A55E CNC Horizontal Mill is a precision high-speed machining center built for demanding production, featuring 22.05" X, 22.05" Y, and 23.6" Z travels on a rigid platform. It employs a 20000 RPM HSK-63 spindle powered by a 25 HP motor, delivering both fine finishing and aggressive cutting capacity. A dual 15.75" x 15.75" pallet system supports up to 1100 lbs each, with full 4th-axis contouring and 0.001° indexing resolution. The 60-tool ATC changes tools in just 2 seconds, aided by ~100 included HSK-63 holders, ensuring maximum uptime. Rapid traverses reach 3307 IPM across all axes, keeping cycle times exceptionally short.

Compared with smaller Makino horizontals such as the A33, the A55E adds larger travels, a stronger 25 HP high-speed spindle, and significantly greater pallet load and tooling capacity. Its ability to sustain 20000 RPM cutting and continuous 4th-axis contouring elevates it from light-duty machining into a versatile production workhorse for aerospace, medical, and automotive applications.
