Makino machines are renowned for their rigidity, stability and precision. The D200Z is no exception with its thick bed, 3-point support and low centre of gravity column. The Z-shaped configuration of the B axis enables a minimum effect of the weight of the workpiece independently on the angle of position. Moreover, high rigidity is ensured through an optimised stroke and minimised force loop. In combination with sophisticated thermal control to ensure effective heat removal, the machine’s rigid structure makes the high degree of machining accuracy possible.
The intelligent GI-Smoothing function, a standard function with Makino’s latest Professional 6 controller, optimises the path when CAM tolerances are too rough for simultaneous 5-axis cutting and thus eliminates the undesired marks at the surfaces to be machined, achieving so far unknown and excellent surface quality
