5-Axis VMC for Heavy-Duty Cutting
Okuma's MU-8000V vertical machining center (VMC) for 5-axis multi-sided machining features standard ballscrew cooling and a rigid left-right, mobile trunnion table support for high precision and power. The low center of gravity in workpiece movement gives this machine the ability to machine difficult materials and a wide range of workpieces, reported the company.
"This workhorse is available with a standard No. 40 or 50 spindle, providing a configuration for nearly any 5-axis job," said a company spokesperson. "An in-machine coil chip conveyor allows for safe, reliable chip discharge. Close proximity of the spindle and control panel, in addition to easy access to the workpiece, gives this machine increased operator functionality."
Increased productivity is achieved with a variety of automation options. The design places the pallet changes at the back of the machine, allowing easy connection to a PALLETACE flexible manufacturing system, pallet pool, large capacity ATC and robots to deliver high productivity in addition to high accuracy.
"The MU-8000V can be equipped with Okuma's exclusive Super-NURBS function, enabling high feedrates and ultra-fine finishes," said the spokesperson. "The optional Machining Navi monitors cutting conditions and displays optimal spindle speed to eliminate chatter. The 5-axis auto tuning achieves higher accuracies by automatically measuring and correcting machine misalignments in minutes. Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept and Collision Avoidance System are standard intelligent technologies to ensure this 5-axis machining center performs consistently from the first part to the last, regardless of warm up time or ambient temperatures, and the machine is protected from potentially harmful crashes."
Key features of the Okuma MU-8000V:
- Axis travels XYZ: 1,450 mm / 1,050 mm / 600 mm (57" / 41.3" / 23.6")
- C-axis: 360° infinite
- Rapid traverse XYZ: 50 m/min (1,969 IPM)
- Rapid A/C: 30/90 RPM
- Maximum load: 700 kg (1,540 lbs.).
