MU-V Series VMCs for Machining Complex Parts



Okuma's MU-V Series vertical machining centers (VMCs) are designed for 5-axis, multi-sided machining and 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 VMCs have enhanced machine mass and can 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. ATCs 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 Super-NURBS function, enabling high feedrates 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 provide quick set-up and precision machining.
