Makino's V33 vertical machining center is ideal for those die and mold shops who know the value of superior accuracies and surface finishes, as well as the need to put every square inch of floor space to work for maximum productivity and profitability.

The V33 delivers machined finishes so superior, the need for EDMing and benchwork on dies and molds can be virtually eliminated. Makino's proprietary, next generation Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.3) servo control delivers the lowest cycle times achievable, while maintaining exceptional accuracy and surface finish.

Designed to machine complex cavities and cores, the Makino V33 is built for speed, with a 787 ipm rapid traverse rate with equally fast cutting feed rates. And Makino offers a standard 20 HP, 20,000-rpm spindle, with a 30,000-rpm spindle optional, both of which are complemented by its patented core cooling and under-race lubrication system that has proven essential for optimal high-performance applications.

The V33 also demonstrates its quality and superior capabilities through the following features:

• All axes motion is guaranteed to deliver straightness and perpendicularity of 0.00012" (3 microns) full stroke.
• The machine has an X-axis of 600 mm, a Y-axis of 400 mm and a Z-axis of 350 mm.
• Machine construction is such that there are no overhangs, providing excellent rigidity and dampening characteristics.
• Patented SGI.3 virtually eliminates quadrant protrusions and greatly improves circularity even at high feed rates.
• The advanced spindle system minimizes thermal distortion at high spindle speeds to provide exceptionally stable machining accuracy, even during long and sustained operation.
• The integrated construction of the spindle and drive motor also reduces vibration during high-speed operation to ensure exceptional reliability and high-quality machined surfaces.

The V33 is Makino's premiere hard metal cutting machine for the die/mold market. It can improve quality and drive costs out of your company's die/mold processes.
