Advanced Multitasking Machining in a Compact Footprint



Okuma America Corporation offers the MULTUS B250II multitasking CNC machine offering enhanced flexibility, compact footprint and optional ARMROID built-in robot, making it suited for many manufacturing environments.

"The MULTUS B250II, equipped with B-axis head, is the ultimate fusion of turn-mill operations, with lathe, vertical or horizontal machining center and material handling operations consolidated into one 6- to 8-inch chuck class machine," said a company spokesperson. "This, combined with its generous work envelope and optional ARMROID automation technology, equips the machine to provide outstanding flexibility and productivity."

This multitasking CNC machine performs process-intensive machining for shorter deliveries while making more effective use of floor space. With fewer set-ups, work in process is reduced and machine utilization is increased.

The MULTUS B250II has a 225° B-axis range with 12,000 RPM H1-milling spindle (opt. 20,000 RPM) with dual function (L/M). The H-1 dual function spindle head utilizes CAPTO-C6 tooling and has a 16.2/10.8 HP PREX milling motor spindle. The base offering has 40-tool ATC, with a 60-tool ATC available. The H1-turret has a 0.001° B-axis and compound-motion Y-axis for machining flexibility. The main spindle is equipped with a full-contouring C-axis.

This multitasking CNC machine comes standard with Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept, an on-board thermal and energy management technology to support 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 MULTUS B250II multitasking machining center:

  • Max. turning diameter: 600 mm
  • Spindle nose type: JIS A2-6
  • Spindle speed range: 45-5,000 RPM
  • Standard power (30 min./cont.): 22/15 kW
  • Rapid traverse XZY: 40/26 m/min.
  • Floor space (WxD): 3,620 mm x 2,289 mm.
