Maka’s new M-Series Performance CNC machining centres

A look inside a Maka will reveal an exceptional depth of experience and know-how that makes the Maka a high-dynamic five-axis machine centre.

The new M-Series range of customisable platforms builds on their highly respected record for providing uncompromisingly robust heavyduty CNC machines, combined with the latest high performance technology.

The M-400 with single or twin tables, are designed for rapid setting, as well as high speed processing with high precision, delivering:

• Higher capacity

• Shorter cycle times

• Greater flexibility

• Rapid setting

• Less programming

• Lower manning

• Improved safety

• Improved dust extraction

• Lower maintenance

• Greater reliability and resilience

The new models are compatible with robotics and Industry 4.0 ready.

The high dynamic construction makes the MAKA machining centre ideal for both bespoke and high volume production.

The M-400s provides a useful working area of 2500 x 1500 x 650 (or 1000)mm to process large work pieces with ease. Additional devices are available for vacuum and pneumatic clamping, and turning.

The hidden detail inside reveals the source of the Maka’s power, speed, reliability, flexibility and unique strength. Structures are deliberately oversized, and the entirely arc-welded steel is sized in accordance with FEA processes. This is essential to minimise vibration and torsional stress. The structure provides the necessary stiffness to guarantee precision and repeatability in the very long-term, and allows the machine to reach high speeds with rapid acceleration. This also protects the investment long-term.

The POWER-MAKA head is a prime example of Maka’s uncompromising approach and uniqueness. Their rotary drives have long been supplied with Hollowshaft-type servos with encoders reading directly on the actual shaft.

The Hollowshaft’s employed are well-proven in the field, and highly appreciated by Maka users. They provide protection and security in case of collision. They also eliminate the inherent limitations in speed and precision associated with belt drives, and even geared drives. Dynamic precision is controlled better.

The robust head casting secures and protects the drives to ensure long-term reliability, especially when operating continuously at high speed.

The latest POWER-MAKA five-axis heads features high performance Galaxie® Drives combined with the POWER-MAKA spindles. The combination elevates performance, delivering:

• Higher torsional rigidity (650 Nm/arcmin)

• Zero backlash

• High torque (nominally 750 Nm)

• Higher positioning accuracy

• Improved surface quality

• Faster rotary speeds up to 20,000o/min

• Shorter cycle times

Manufactured in Germany, the POWERMAKA package are designed for operating in the harshest environments (and remain easily accessible for servicing and maintenance) will improve quality and productivity.

As Maka’s Iain Young explains “The Maka M-Series are best suited for the most challenging manufacturing environments. The M-Series are truly flexible multi-axis five-axis machining centres, designed to meet every challenge any timber engineer or furniture manufacturer will face today.”

“We are dedicated to serving and supporting our customers and have improved structures to provide higher quality support. We’re also actively recruiting. Our factory trained CNC engineers are available for rapid response, and for all requirements, including refurbishing and upgrading,” concludes Iain.
