Okuma’s Versatile MA-600HII is Ideal for Heavy Duty Cutting

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (April12, 2018) – Okuma’s MA-600HII incorporates powerful, high torque spindle options designed for high volume material removal rates. It’s available with a HSK-A100 20K spindle that boasts 50/55Kw power for everything from heavy-duty cutting to fine precision work on aluminum alloys, cast irons and difficult to machine materials. The MA-600HII allows for steady milling, boring, drilling and tapping of mass production parts to long, continuous cycles for die/mold applications.

High efficiency and reduced cycle times are easily achieved with improved chip flushing conveyance that keep chips flowing, and a 20 percent larger coolant tank capacity that allows for longer, continuous runs. The work envelope is one of the largest in its class and provides the flexibility to handle a wide range of work pieces. Flexible manufacturing can be accomplished by adding 6 – 12 multi-pallet APC units and multiple matrix magazines that hold up to 400 tools. The ATC features an impressive two second tool change time and comes equipped with tool breakage detection.

A left mounted operation panel that has a rotating movable monitor improves operator visibility and a wide, two-step platform makes the spindle and workpiece easily accessible increasing shop floor productivity.

The MA-600HII is constructed on a 58,000 pound frame featuring an integral bed and base. Boasting one of the largest linear way guides in the industry, the highly rigid, stepped back column withstands bending and torsion to easily support rapid travel of large, heavy parts.
