Genos M560-V vertical machining center

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Charlotte, North Carolina – The Genos M560-V vertical machining center, combines a high column design and CAT 40 Big-Plus spindle to cut large, complex parts. The larger work envelope minimizes restrictions on workpieces, tool lengths, and the rotary table. A rigid, thermally-stable, double-column construction gives the CNC machine the ability to withstand thermal deformation, resulting in improved machining performance. It’s also one of the heaviest machines in its class.

A 30hp spindle with 146 lb-ft of torque allows this machine to cut challenging metals such as titanium and Inconel as well as stainless steel and aluminum. A separate automatic tool changer door makes tool changing seamless without interrupting the machining process. The table moves only in Y, while the spindle moves in X & Z, enabling a smaller machine footprint, rapid feed rates, precise cutting, and smooth surface finishes.

Thermo-Friendly Concept, Okuma’s proprietary thermal deformation compensation technology is standard on this machine. Pretension ball screws and bi-directional spindle cooling allow for better control of the machining process. Optional collision avoidance and Machining Navi Intelligent Technologies are available.
