“Defining the art of
precision mold making”
In the evolution of consumer goods, there is a
demand for continuous improvement in aesthetics,
styling, cost and performance. It is a tremendous
challenge for manufacturers to provide an efficient
and competitive mold making solution to automotive,
aerospace, 3C & medical industries. Each industry
has its own demanding requirements on surface
finish, contouring accuracy, and tool life, with the
ultimate goal being a lower cost per part with
improved quality.
Makino is well-established in bringing this value to
these markets through the reliability of our product
line, the innovation of the technologies employed
in them, and the expertise of our engineering and
applications personnel. Makino's F-series vertical
machining centers is another example of Makino's
ability to bring the finest machining solutions to the
marketplace. Three elements make this possible:
• Rigid Machine Construction
• Advance Spindle Technology
• Motion Technology
The F-series combines these advantages with an
ergonomic design and an efficient chip evacuation
system. This line was designed with the customer and
operator in mind. Parts are easily loaded, programs
easily run, and high-quality machining finishes are
achieved all at a lower cost per part.

Rigid Structure
Heavy cast iron construction and a unique axis configuration
provides outstanding stiffness, rigidity, thermal stability, accuracy
and unequaled axis support throughout the full travel of each axis:
• X and Z on the column
- Constant spindle support distance
- Fully supported throughout travel
• Y under table
- No “stack-up” of X and Y
- No off-center table load condition
- Fully supported throughout travel
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the basic components
insure optimized structural rigidity and tortional stiffness for
ultimate performance characteristics and consistent results.
This structural rigidity is the foundation for superior cutting
performance, provides damping against vibration, and
sustained accuracy for the life of the machine.
Most competitive machines feature some variation
of a traditional "C-frame" design. Therefore, in most
die and mold applications, by virtue of the machine
configuration and associated geometry, the machine
tool elements significantly overhang their support
structure:
•The Z axis is cantilevered from the X axis (Figure 1)
•The X axis is “stacked up” on the Y axis (Figure 2)
•The X axis is overhung from the Y axis (Figure 3)

As a result, cutting forces - combined with these long,
unsupported, cantilevered distances create stiffness,
rigidity and dynamic distortion issues that produce
vibration and chatter. Such instabilities, inertial factors
and bending moments during cutting dramatically
impact surface finish, final part accuracy, cutting
speeds and feeds, achievable depth of cut, cycle time,
tool life, and productivity. By virtue of the unique
F-series construction, the machine provides a stiffer,
more rigid, highly accurate, chatter-free platform for
even the most difficult of cuts.

Thermal Stability
High performance linear guideways (utilizing
“caged ball” technology) provide extremely precise,
anti-friction motion. In addition, pre-tensioned, dual
supported, large diameter ballscrews and powerful,
direct-coupled, digital servo motors - tuned for peak
performance - provide the stiffness and rigidity for the
most challenging applications.
Fine ballscrew motion provides greater precision
for blends, matches and complex geometry
applications. Temperature controlled lubrication
maintains and controls the thermal stability of the
ballscrew bearing mounting area, ensuring stable,
long cycle time cutting accuracy.

Achieving High Precision Accuracy Through Mechanical Means
Parts are accurately manufactured, meticulously adjusted and
assembled with exacting precision.
Scrapping is incorporated in the machine assembly in order
to achieve better profile accuracy and surface matching which
results to mechanical accuracy in order to further enhance and
increase the machine performance and increase the machine
life at the same time.

Advanced Spindle Technology
Makino’s leadership in spindle technology is renowned throughout the world. Spindle rigidity,
higher rpm, constant pre-load, multi-plane balancing, minimizing vibration, and controlling thermal growth
are all issues that Makino has solved through years of experience and application of spindle design,
manufacture, and assembly.
The optional 20,000 rpm, HSK-A63 spindle
incorporates Makino’s patented spindle technology:
Spindle core cooling
Under-race bearing lubrication
Closed loop oilmatic temperature control
The spindle provides characteristics required in any
number of high-speed machining applications
typical of the die and mold industry. The two-range,
unique integral design provides wide-range capability
with stiffness and rigidity at lower ranges (roughing
operations) to vibration & chatter-free production of
small details and fine features when using small tools
at a high rpm.
Spindle Temperature Controller
The F-series machine is the only machine of
its class to combine a large capacity, heat
dissipating spindle chiller, and the Makino technologies
mentioned above. This maintains tight control over the
spindle, bearings, and motor area, thus minimizing any
spindle thermal growth effects upon spindle pre-load
that impacts spindle stiffness and rigidity, tool life,
surface finish, and ultimately final part accuracy.

noticeable when machining with longer shank tools.
2. Improved Accuracy
Excellent attachment accuracy is faithfully reproduced
for greater machining accuracy. This system firmly
secures the tool holder both on face and the shank and
provides very high rigidity and improved accuracy.
Strongly recommended for high-speed applications.

Efficient Chip Removal
5 nozzles supply device (standard specification)
• 4 coolant nozzles and 1 air blower nozzle are effectively positioned around the spindle.
Through-spindle air (optional specification)
• Air is supplied from the tool tip and holder.
Through-spindle coolant (1.5 MPa and 3.0 MPa) (optional specification)
• Coolant is supplied from the inside of the holder through the tool tip.
Unmanned machining application and highly efficient machining processes generate high volume of
chips. Therefore, a quick, good and reliable machine chip evacuation system is required. In F series,
optional two spiral type chip conveyors is used in transporting chips from the machining zone to the
rear of the machine. This efficient system will enable operator to focus on the machining tasks and
hence improve his work efficiency.
Spiral Conveyor
Chip Tray is located at the front of the
machine and can be emptied even during
machining
An optional Rear Tank is equipped with 2 x spiral
conveyors to evacuate chips to the rear side of the
machine
12
An optional lift up chip conveyor can be installed
along with the rear tank to further improve the chip
management of the machine.
Page 13
The chip and splashguard doors, as well as
the machine ceiling, open together to facilitate
easy handling of large, heavy workpieces that
require an overhead crane. Combined with the
movement of the table, and the convenient
table loading height, the F-series machines
significantly reduces part exchange load times
and operator fatigue.
The machine control is on a pivot that provides
90° of swing. This assures the operator will
always have easy access to the control during
set-up, program prove-out, operation, and
even manual tool loading through the front of
the machine.
Ease of Operation
An integral ATC shutter separates the machine
workzone from the tool magazine, assuring the
chips and coolant from the machining area do
not migrate into the tool magazine.
The tool changer door provides ready access
for easy loading and unloading of tooling to
the machine magazine. An ATC control panel
is located adjacent to the tool changer door
to assist the operator in manual operation of
the tool magazine and double gripper for tool
replenishment and maintenance.

Measurement Systems
Automatic tool length measuring device (contact)*
This device measures the length of small
diameter tools with diameter more than 0.5 mm.
An air blower is attached to remove chips and coolant
before the measurement so as to ensure that the tool
length is measured accurately.
Automatic workpiece measuring device*
This device can be programmed to measure
workpieces automatically before, during and after
machining.
Non-contact tool measuring device (laser type)*
This device measures the length & diameter of small tools.
