Used Makino V22 High-Speed Machining Center

Author：JINYI Date：2026-07-02

The Makino V22 is a benchmark high-speed vertical machining center for micro-machining and precision mold work. This Japanese-built 2016 unit, equipped with a 40,000 rpm HSK-E32 spindle and Professional 5 control, is in stock at our facility and available for immediate inspection. With travels of 320 × 280 × 300 mm and a 15-tool magazine, it's a strong fit for shops producing electrodes, mold cavities, medical implants, aerospace micro-components, and intricate electronic parts. If you're looking to cut lead times on high-precision work or add spindle-speed capability to an existing cell, this machine warrants a close look.

Stock Status and buying value

This Makino V22 is listed under stock number 812457 and is physically located at our facility. Manufactured in 2016 in Japan, it has been kept in production-ready condition. Unlike a new machine order with its extended lead time, this used V22 can be inspected, tested, and moved into your shop on a much shorter timeline — a tangible advantage when a critical project or capacity gap calls for immediate high-speed capability.

The value proposition is straightforward: you acquire a proven 40,000-rpm platform at a fraction of new machine cost, without sacrificing the core attributes that built the V22's reputation — thermal stability, fine surface finish capability, and a control environment tuned for 3D contouring. For any toolroom or production cell that depends on short cycle times for small, complex parts, having this machine in stock eliminates the uncertainty of waiting months for a new build.

Key Specifications and Production Readiness

Each specification below is paired with an explanation of how it directly affects part quality, tooling choices, and daily throughput.

Spindle – 40,000 rpm, HSK-E32 interface
This is the core of the V22. A 40,000-rpm spindle with HSK-E32 tooling lets small cutters (down to Ø0.1 mm and below) run at their optimal surface speeds. The HSK-E32 taper delivers repeatable axial and radial positioning — critical for micro-tools and mirror-surface finishing. On the shop floor, this translates to less bench polishing on mold cavities and more consistent electrode geometry batch to batch.

Travels – X: 320 mm, Y: 280 mm, Z: 300 mm — These compact strokes are by design. The machine is built for small, highly precise workpieces rather than large plates. Typical part envelopes include graphite or copper electrodes measuring 80 × 60 mm, medical bone plates, and micro-optical housings. The short travels contribute directly to rigidity and faster axis response during 3D contouring.

Table size – 450 × 350 mm — Sufficient for multiple setups on a single fixture plate. Many users mount a pallet or tombstone-style fixture to hold several electrode blanks or small mold inserts, maximizing spindle uptime during lights-out runs.

CNC system – Makino Professional 5 — This control is purpose-built for high-speed look-ahead and nano-smoothing functions. It processes complex NURBS-based toolpaths efficiently, maintaining high feed rates while holding contour accuracy. For a shop moving from conventional 3-axis work into fine micro-milling, Professional 5 significantly reduces the programming burden on complex surfaces.

Tool magazine – 15 tools — Sized for high-mix, low-volume production and electrode manufacturing, where each job typically uses a small set of dedicated cutters. It isn't a mass-production tool changer, but it aligns with the machine's mission: precision over heavy material removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this used Makino V22 currently in stock and available for inspection?

Yes. The machine is physically present at our facility and can be inspected under power. We encourage buyers to schedule a visit and personally evaluate spindle condition, control responsiveness, and geometric accuracy.

What types of parts can this machine realistically produce in my shop?

The full range covers fine graphite and copper electrodes, mold inserts, medical implants, watch components, micro-aerospace parts, and electronic connector tooling. Its 40,000-rpm HSK-E32 spindle is engineered for small, precise workpieces — not heavy roughing.

How do I know if the V22's spindle is still in good condition?

During inspection, check runout at several RPM points, monitor warm-up vibration, and examine the taper for wear. A test cut on a representative cavity or electrode will confirm whether surface finish and accuracy meet your requirements.

Can this machine handle lights-out or unattended production?

With its 15-tool magazine and stable thermal design, the V22 is commonly used in lights-out electrode and small-mold production when paired with reliable tool-setting probes and proper dust extraction. The Professional 5 control supports unattended machining routines, but tool life and chip evacuation must be validated for your specific part.

What information do you need to provide a quotation?

Simply share your delivery destination and any preferred rigging specifications. We'll return a quote covering the machine's current condition, inspection report highlights, and shipment options from Kunshan. No obligation — just a straightforward commercial offer with the technical details and terms you need.
