Powerful 5-Axis Capabilities in a Compact Footprint



Okuma America Corporation, the U.S.-based sales and service affiliate of Okuma Corporation, offers the latest addition to its 5-axis vertical machining center (VMC) lineup: the GENOS M560V-5AX. This machine builds upon the foundation of the company's flagship VMC series (GENOS M series) by bringing 5-axis capabilities to the table.

"This machine tool is a 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.

This vertical machining center is built with a double-column machine design, affording it maximum structural integrity. The machine offers a large 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 the physical burden on the operator. Additionally, the machine comes standard with a 60 automatic tool changer (ATC) magazine and can also accommodate tools measuring up to 400 mm in length.

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. For additional energy savings, users can add on the optional ECO suite plus energy management system. This machine tool is also compatible with a variety of automation solutions to further optimize production, accuracy and efficiency.

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
  • Axes travel: 1,050 mm (X-axis), 560 mm (Y-axis), 460 mm (Z-axis)
  • Floor space (WxD): 2,515 mm x 3,750 mm
  • Weight: 10,000 kg.
