2021 Makino PS105 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The Makino PS105 is the largest 40-taper vertical machining center in Makino's PS-Series, a production job-shop platform known for the rigidity, thermal stability, and reliability that have made Makino a trusted name in automotive, medical, and aerospace machining. This 2021 example offers travels of 41.3 in. X by 20 in. Y by 18.1 in. Z over a 51.1 in. x 20 in. table rated for 1,763 lbs, driven by a 14,000 RPM CAT40 spindle producing 40 HP and 140 ft-lbs of torque through large 85 mm spindle bearings. A 30-station automatic tool changer with 1.3-second tool-to-tool change keeps cycle times tight, while standard features including a lift-up scraper-drum chip conveyor, high-pressure through-spindle coolant with cyclonic filtration, work-wash coolant, core-cooled ball screws, and thermally controlled lubrication keep the machine accurate through long production runs. The Makino Professional P control with a 10.4 in. color touchscreen, built on proven Fanuc architecture, rounds out a machine built for dependable, high-accuracy output.

Compared to the earlier Makino PS95 it replaced, the PS105 is a meaningfully more capable machine, not just a refresh. Makino expanded the X-axis travel by roughly 14 percent and enlarged the overall work volume, so the PS105 handles larger parts and fixtures than the PS95 could accommodate. It pairs that bigger envelope with the current Professional P control and Makino's latest thermal-stability package - core-cooled ball screws and temperature-controlled lubrication - for tighter accuracy over long runs than the previous generation delivered. For a shop weighing a used PS95 against this PS105, the PS105 brings more travel, a current-generation control, and improved thermal management to the floor at a used-machine price.
