Okuma introduces new entry-level vertical machining centre for 5-axis operations
Okuma adds the GENOS M460V-5AX to its ever-growing portfolio. With its simultaneous 5-axis machining capability, the affordable machining centre delivers swift and efficient parts production for the tightest tolerances. When manufacturing complex aerospace components or performing one-chuck multi-sided operations, operators benefit from superior quality and capability without having to compromise to reduce costs.
Made in Japan and based on Okuma’s best-selling machining centre MU-400VII, the new next-generation vertical machining centre GENOS M460V-5AX enables full 5-face machining for increased geometrical accuracy, fewer set-ups and reduced lead-times. If no 5-axis simultaneous machining is required, the machine can be operated like a 3-axis machining centre. Its high-speed spindle offers maximum productivity at 15,000 min-1. With rapid traverse speeds of 40 m/min (ipm) for the X and Y axes and 32 m/min (ipm) for the Z axis, the machining centre effectively reduces cycle times. This performance is further enhanced by feedrates of 14,400 and 18,000 deg/min in the A and C axes, respectively.
Constructed for uncompromised performance
With its innovative double-column structure, the sturdy machining centre offers an exceptionally small footprint of 2,160 × 2,810 mm. With a full 5-axis simultaneous control system and a thermally stable design, operators are granted the ability to process even the most challenging materials and geometries.
High-precision ball screws generate roller guide movement to all three axes. They are directly coupled to Okuma servomotors, which match the electrical and mechanical prerequisites to meet performance requirements with uncompromising precision. Utilising a hypoid gear drive, the first-rate trunnion construction offers excellent positioning accuracy, rigidity and table rotation speed.
The machine‘s thermo-friendly structure allows it to maintain high dimensional accuracy when the room temperature changes. It stabilises thermal deformation and automatically shortens warm-up time. The need for dimensional correction during machine restart is reduced significantly.
About Okuma
At Okuma, we have a long history of innovation. And we continuously seek to improve the quality of our machines’ construction, the breadth of our offerings, and the strength of our technology. Pushing the evolution of manufacturing. That is our mission.
Japan
Okumas history starts with its founding in 1898 as a noodle machine manufacturer. The first machine tools were manufactured from 1904. More than a century after making the jump to manufacturing machine tools, Okuma’s state-of-the-art CNC products are used around the world to produce high-quality components for demanding industries such as aerospace and automotive.
The company played an important part in the development on the manufacturing industry and is the industry’s only single-source provider, manufacturing the CNC machine, drive, motor, encoder, spindle and CNC control.
We are proud to be the industry’s only single-source provider. Our global sales and service operations with local distributors around the world enable us to provide our customers with all the support they need – whenever, wherever. A wide network of partners helps us to keep defining the cutting-edge, from sophisticated automation to full-on smart factory management.
Europe
Okuma Europe GmbH (founded in 1988) is the European-based sales and service affiliation of Okuma Corporation, a world leader in CNC (computer numeric control) machine tools. Okuma’s innovative and reliable technology, paired with comprehensive, localised service protection, allows users to run continuously with confidence – maximising profitability. Along with its industry-leading distribution network, Okuma facilitates quality, productivity and efficiency, empowering the customer and enabling competitive advantage in todays demanding manufacturing environment.
Germany
In September 2019 Okuma Deutschland GmbH (former Hommel CNC-Technik GmbH) became the German branch of Okuma Corporation, therefore a full subsidiary of Okuma Europe GmbH.
With more than 40 years experience, the subsidiary, located in Cologne and its techcenters Langenau (Ulm) and Possendorf (near Dresden) organise and control the Germany-wide sales and service for Okuma machine tools.
Okuma's innovative and reliable technology in combination with comprehensive, regionally available service ensure safe, continuous and therefore highly profitable manufacturing processes for our customers.
With an industry-leading distribution network Okuma ensures quality, productivity as well as efficiency, resulting in a decisive advantage for our customers in today's demanding manufacturing world.
