2005 MAKINO A51

The Makino A51 is one of the most trusted horizontal machining centers in production manufacturing — built for rigidity, speed, and long-term reliability. This 2005 model is equipped with the Makino Pro 3 CNC control, based on the Fanuc 16i/18i platform, and is one of the most operator-friendly and widely supported controls in the industry today. With a 12,000 RPM CAT-40 spindle, full 4th axis, 134-tool automatic tool changer, and 310 PSI through-spindle coolant, this machine is ready to take on high-volume prismatic part work in aerospace, automotive, medical, and general job shop environments. The dual 400mm × 400mm pallet system keeps spindle utilization high while setups happen off-cycle, and supports workpieces up to 880 lbs. The Pro 3 control features a 10.4″ color monitor, RS-232 port for DNC operation, rigid tapping, and a straightforward interface that operators and programmers already know. Setup time is minimal and the learning curve is flat — this is a machine you can put to work immediately. A chip conveyor, high-pressure coolant system, coolant tank, and pump are all included. With axis travels of 22″ × 22″ × 19.7″ and rapid traverse rates approaching 1,969 IPM, the A51 punches well above its weight class for a machine of this size and vintage. If you’re adding capacity or replacing an aging machine in your cell, the Makino A51 Pro 3 is a proven performer. Contact us to schedule an inspection or request a walkthrough video.
