5-Axis VMC with Compact Design



Okuma America Corporation has added a new 5-axis vertical machining center (VMC) to its line-up. The GENOS M560V-5AX builds upon the foundation of the company's flagship VC series (GENOS M Series) by bringing 5-axis capabilities to the table.

"The new GENOS M560V-5AX is an impressive next-generation product evolved from two of the company's best-selling VMCs-the GENOS M560V, which has become a standard-bearer in the industry, and the GENOS M460V-5AX, which launched in 2017 as an answer to a market need for an affordable, compact 5-axis vertical machine-with no compromise on the design or accuracy," said a company spokesperson.

Machine Design

The GENOS M560V-5AX is built with a double-column machine design, affording it maximum structural integrity. The machine offers a working envelope with a 500 mm table and wide axis travels (X: 1,050 mm, Y: 560 mm, Z: 460 mm), while still maintaining a compact footprint of 2,515 mm x 3,750 mm. Further optimizing the machine's design, the GENOS M560V-5AX includes a trunnion table positioned parallel to the front of the machine, which allows for easier access to the table and good visibility during machining. This, and other user-friendly features on the machine, reduce physical burden on the operator. Additionally, the machine comes standard with a 60 ATC magazine and can also accommodate tools measuring up to 400 mm in length.

Built-In Energy Savings Features

The GENOS M560V-5AX comes standard with Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept, an on-board thermal and energy management technology to support both stable, high-accuracy machining and reduce energy consumption.

Key specifications of the GENOS M560V-5AX VMC:

  • Table size: 500 mm
  • Max. workpiece dimensions: 700 mm x 500 mm
  • Spindle maximum speed: 15,000 RPM
  • Spindle motor power: 22/18.5 kW
  • Axis travels (XYZ): 1,050 mm, 560 mm, 460 mm
  • Floor space (WxD): 2,515 mm x 3,750 mm
  • Weight: 10,000 kg.

"With its versatility and 5-axis cutting capabilities, the GENOS M560V-5AX provides shops with the ability to expand their operational possibilities," said the spokesperson.
