Makino L2 APC

The Makino L2 APC is a vertical 3-axis machining center built for high-volume machining of small parts. It uses a 16,000 rpm HSK-A50 spindle with a 15-tool magazine (30-tool magazine optional) and a 120 mm diameter rotary A-axis table, so milling, drilling and tapping operations can run with automatic tool changes and part indexing. The machine has 400 x 300 x 300 mm linear travels and a 48 m/min rapid traverse rate, and its compact footprint allows it to be placed in manual or robot-fed part flow arrangements.
