# Makino N2-5XA

Hardware · `N2-5XA` · verification: source checked

The Makino N2-5XA is a 5-axis horizontal machining center with a 200 mm pallet and 300 x 300 x 230 mm travels, intended for small near-net-shape parts such as orthopedic implants and aero-engine components. Its twin direct-drive rotary axes (A and B) sit in a trunnion casting, and it uses a 20,000 rpm HSK-A40 spindle with through-spindle coolant and a 36-tool automatic tool changer. Control is by the Makino Pro6 with Super Geometric Intelligence contour control.
