Okuma’s MU-V Series Delivers Fast, Powerful, and Accurate 5-Axis CNC Machining
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 13, 2018) – Okuma’s MU-V Series vertical machining centers are excellent for 5-axis, multi-sided machining and well suited for the aerospace and die/mold industries. They provide high speed, process intensive machining combined with turning and 5-axis multitasking machining in a compact footprint. The series includes the MU-4000V, 5000V, 6300V, and 8000V.
These vertical machining centers have impressive machine mass and efficiently handle complex and difficult-to-machine materials. The dual-driven, B-axis trunnion is fully supported therefore eliminating overhang. Ball-screw cooling is standard, and a highly rigid, left-right, mobile trunnion table, supports high precision and impressive cutting power. This workhorse is available with a broad scope of spindles ranging from 12K to 25K RPM, providing a configuration for nearly any 5-axis job.
Maximum productivity is achieved with a wide array of automation options. The unique machine design places the pallet changes at the back of the machines, allowing easy connection to a PALLETACE flexible manufacturing system, pallet pool, large capacity automatic tool changer (ATC) and robots. ATC’s can be configured to meet growing demands with 32 to 64-tool chain magazine systems and 64-plus matrix tool cabinets.
The series can be equipped with Okuma’s exclusive Super-NURBS function, enabling high feed rates and smooth finishes. Built using Okuma’s Thermo-Friendly Concept, these 5-axis machining centers perform consistently from the first part to the last, regardless of warm up time or ambient temperatures. Standard 5-Axis Auto Tuning System technology automatically measures and compensates for up to 11 geometric errors to ensure quick setup and precision machining.
