Showcase products at METALEX 2024
Proudly presenting The MASTERPIECE from Okuma Techno
■ 5-axis Vertical machining center, MU-500V III series
The new machining center is equipped with best-in-class stability and accuracy, meeting the needs of all manufacturing industries. It can increase productivity by reducing production steps and has the largest shearing area. It achieves both shearing accuracy and reduced CO2 emissions, leading to a carbon-neutral society.
Features
・Strong structural design supports heavy machining and a wide range of applications from low-volume to mass production.
・It has a large turning area that accommodates workpieces with up to ø700 mm., but the most compact in size when compared to machines in the same class.
・Spindle speed is 15,000min-1 (No. 40), wide-range spindle (special specifications), workpiece material: S45C
■ 1-Saddle CNC Lathe, LB3000 EX III series
It is said that the molding accuracy of a workpiece changes significantly depending on the ambient temperature of the machine and the heat generated from machine and molding. Okuma's new CNC lathe features an innovative control to stabilize the machine's temperature during operation, enabling high-accuracy molding in normal factory environments.
Features
・Thermo-Friendly Concept can manage temperature changes, allowing accurate operation under normal factory environment without any additional special measures.
・Increased productivity with powerful shearing and swift movements
Spindle size: Bearing ID ø120 mm (hole size ø80 mm.)
Spindle speed: 5,000 min-1
Maximum output: 22 kW
Turning capacity: 4.4 mm2
Maximum movement speed
X axis: 30 m/min *20% cycle time reduction
Z axis: 30 m/min
■ Vertical machining center, MB-80V series
It is the most reliable machine for molding large workpieces. It has excellent chip evacuation and long unattended operations, thanks to the rigid twin-column structure design of the MB-V.
Features
・Removes large amounts of aluminum chips, leading to improved throughput and reduced cleaning time.
・Supports up to 8 hydraulic systems (16 fixtures)
・Comes with a wide range of spindle sizes to support the application, leading to efficient
moldings, workpiece, mold, crucible and semiconductor parts.
Product specifications
・Standard spindle (No.40) for general machine parts
Spindle speed: 15,000 min-1
Maximum output: 26/18.5 kW (10 min/cont.)
Maximum torque: 199/146 N-m (5 min/cont.)
・High-speed spindle (No. 40) for aluminum
Spindle speed: 20,000 min-1
Maximum output: 30/22 kW (10 min/cont.)
Maximum torque: 57/42 N-m (10 min/cont.)
・Power spindle (No. 40/50, roller bearings) for molding of the mold ranging from roughing to finishing
Spindle speed: 12,000 min-1
Maximum output: 33/26kW (10 min/cont.)
Maximum torque: 302/148 N-m (10% ED/cont.)
■ Vertical machining center, MB-46VEII series
The Thermo-Friendly Concept is friendly to the machine's ambient temperature, with improved design dimensional stability with a better structure and a longer machining accuracy from 8μm (the previous model) to 5μm, an increase of 38% in accuracy.
Features
・ No need to be installed in a temperature-controlled room, reducing the cost of electricity.
・Accelerated axis speed and spindle speed, reduced time for tool changes, leading to lower shearing time. Higher productivity over the same amount of time. The saved time can be used in other operations.
Productivity increases of 16%
Reduction of power consumption by 10%
