VMC Features Larger Work Envelope



The new GENOS M560-VA-HC vertical machining center (VMC) combines a high column design and CAT 40 BIG-PLUS spindle to cut large, complex parts. The larger work envelope minimizes restrictions on workpieces, tool lengths and the rotary table. "A rigid, thermally-stable double-column construction gives this CNC machine the ability to withstand thermal deformation, resulting in improved machining performance," said a company spokesperson. It is also one of the heaviest machines in its class." At IMTS this machine will be shown cutting a steel engine cylinder and will showcase Machining Navi anti-chatter technology.

A 30 HP spindle with 146 ft-lbs. of torque allows this machine to cut challenging metals such as titanium and Inconel, as well as stainless steel and aluminum. A separate automatic tool changer door makes tool changing seamless without interrupting the machining process. "The table moves only in Y, while the spindle moves in X and Z, enabling a smaller machine footprint, rapid feedrates, precise cutting and smooth surface finishes," said the spokesperson. It features a user-friendly design and energy-saving technology.

Thermo-Friendly Concept, Okuma's proprietary thermal deformation compensation technology, is standard on this machine. Pretension ball screws and bi-directional spindle cooling allow for better control of the machining process. Optional Collision Avoidance and Machining Navi Intelligent Technologies are available.

Key specifications of the GENOS M560-VA-HC:

  • Max. machining volume: 1,050 x 560 x 460 mm (41.34" x 22.05" x 18.11")
  • Table size: 560 x 1,300 mm (22.05" x 51.18")
  • Max. load capacity: 900 kg (1,980 lbs.)
  • Spindle speed: 15,000 RPM
  • Spindle motor power: 22/18.5 kW (30/25 HP)
  • Rapid traverse: XY 40 m/min, Z 32 m/min (XY 1,575 IPM, Z 1,262 IPM)
  • Magazine capacity: 32 tools.
