a40 SE

Introducing the Makino a40 SE, the new generation of horizontal machining centres designed and built to address the challenges of die cast parts production. The aim of the updated a40 is to further increase the performance of aluminium die-casting machinists by increasing the autonomy and performance of the existing a40. On the one hand, the machine is prepared to use hydraulic fixtures which mean it is totally prepared for automation, while the increased ATC size will assure non-stop production. On the other hand, the increased spindle speed of up to 20,000 rpm will enable smaller tools and PCD tools to be used in the machining process.

Reliability of your machining system is a paramount consideration. The a40 SE leverages on robust, proven systems like single piece X and Z axis covers, center trough chip / coolant management and dual supported
ATC mechanisms from Makino’s 1-Series horizontal machining centres. New and improved systems ensures reliable operation.
