Charlotte, North Carolina – Okuma’s MU-4000V for 5-axis multi-sided machining is suited for the aerospace and die/mold industries. It offers high speed, process intensive machining combined with turning and 5-axis multitasking machining.
This machine features a large work envelope and base in a compact footprint. It has a machine mass of 9,700kg and the B-axis trunnion has no overhanging mass. Fully supported axes construction allows for spindles from 12,000rpm to 25,000rpm to handle difficult to machine materials.
Automation-friendly design places pallet changes at the back of the machine, allowing connection to a PALLETACEflexible manufacturing system or pallet pool for higher productivity. Automated tool changers can be configured with 32- to 64-tool chain magazine systems and 64+ matrix cabinets.
The MU-4000V can be equipped with Okuma’s Super-NURBS function, enabling high feed rates and ultra-fine finishes. With Okuma’s Thermo-Friendly Concept, this 5-axis machining center performs consistently, 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 precision machining.
For larger 5-axis parts, the MU-V series also includes the MU-6300V and MU-8000V.
