Double-Column Machining Center Large-Part Machining



Okuma America Corporation has announced a new double-column machining center (DCMC). This new machine, the MCR-BV, is the seventh machine offered in the company's double-column machine line-up.

Designed for 5-face machining applications, the MCR-BV is also capable of 5-axis contouring as well as 5-sided heavy milling applications.

"These heavy-duty applications are made possible through features such as a powerful integral motor and spindle, an expanded work envelope and a rigid table that is 30% thicker than previous models-all of which are ideal for large part machining," said a company spokesperson. "A variety of attachment heads are compatible with the machine, allowing for a wide range of unique part shapes to be created, as well as many multitasking machining functions to be performed."

Additional machine features include a fast automatic tool changer (ATC) and a smaller, faster auto attachment changer (AAC), both of which allow this DCMC to increase productivity while performing heavy cutting or high-accuracy finishing.

Key specifications of the MCR-BV:

  • Table size: 2,000 mm x 4,000 mm (78.74" x 157.48") to 3,000 mm x 12,000 mm (118.11" x 472.44")
  • Spindle speed: 6,000 RPM (10,000 RPM option available)
  • Spindle motor power: 43 kW (57 HP)
  • Rapid traverse (XYZ): 30 m/min (98.43 FPM), 32 m/min (104.99 FPM), 15 m/min (49.22 FPM)
  • Magazine capacity: 50, 80, 100, 120 or 180 tools.
