The winning competitive edge in performance motorsports often boils down to teamwork. Someone in the background squeezes out an extra ounce of effort to make the winning difference. If your engineers are ready to make the investment in a critical production tool, knowing they will be able to write new rules for success, then you only have one choice. You will choose Okuma’s High Performance Motorsports machine tool team to upgrade your cylinder head machining. With an Okuma team dedicating their efforts to deliver a more accurate and efficient machine, and your focus upon competitive needs for fast turn-around and cost effective production cycles, you will have a winner.
Our Okuma patented Parallel Kinematic Machine (PKM) is clearly the machine for cylinder head surface and port machining. The PM-600 embodies 5-axis machining with superior rigidity, flexibility, acceleration, and contouring capabilities – perfectly suited for a NASCAR cylinder head square transitioned to round intake and exhaust ports. The ball screw controlled head with 30° axial movement does all the contouring work needed for the ports. Single mount set-up on a 360° rotating table is key for accuracy and repeatability.
