The a800Z accommodates workpieces of up to Ø1000mm x 800mm high, with payload weights up to 1000kg.  The X- and Y- strokes are 1,780mm and 1,200mm respectively, with the Z- stroke ranging from 1,120mm – 1,325mm, depending on the rotary axes positioning.  Both rotary tables are of the direct drive type, with unlimited 360° movement on the B-axis, and 180° on the innovative ‘slant style’ C-axis unit.  This allows a full range of workpiece positioning ranging from the pallet top sitting horizontal to the spindle centerline to parallel to the spindle centerline, or anywhere in between these two extremes.  As has long been Makino’s hallmark, all axes on the a800Z have closed loop active temperature control standard, providing not only the superior dimensional control that is inherent to this design, but also extended component life even in the most demanding production environments.  With rapid rates for all linear axes of 60 meters per minute, and a B-axis rotation rapid rate of 18,000 degrees per minute, this agile platform allows for highly efficient machine movements.
 
The a800Z’s standard 10,000 RPM high power spindle offers output capabilities of 55 kW peak power, and 721 N-m peak torque, making it ideal for wide ranging material applications.  The optional 8,000 RPM high torque spindle is offered for customers machining tool materials and hard metals.  Tool changer magazine sizes range from the standard 60 tool capacity ring type unit, with larger capacity magazines planned for future introduction.

The standard automatic pallet changer on the a800Z greatly increases machine utilization, allowing workholding fixture setup on one pallet while the other pallet’s workpiece is being machined.  Since the APC is fully integrated into the core of the a800Z, it offers both unparalleled operation ease and system reliability.

The a800Z comes standard with our Fanuc based Pro-6 CNC control, featuring standard features such as a user-friendly touch screen interface, advanced tool data management, and our Makino Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) high speed machining control system.  The Makino a800Z - the industry’s newest heavyweight in the complex production parts machining arena!
