Vertical Machining Center Makino V33i-5XB

The V33i-5XB vertical machining center is designed for die/mold applications. It features a specially designed tilt-trunnion table with combined B- and C-axes to provide die/mold shops with a full 5-axis simultaneous milling answer for intricate 3-D shapes. The table provides the highest accuracies and repeatability available in the industry with less lost motion and higher stiffness and rigidity than comparative five-axis machines. The V33i-5XB provides one set-up access to complex, multiple-sided parts, reducing handling and costs. It also facilitates access to under-cut areas, oddly positioned features and complex geometries;all with optimum, shorter tool lengths. This creates the best tool life and surface finish characteristics in the marketplace. The machine can also be used in the more traditional “2+3” mode for blending and matching complicated multi-plane surfaces typical of die/mold production.
