2000 OKK VM5 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 OKK VM5 is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by OKK (Osaka Kiko Co., Ltd.), a Japanese precision machine tool builder. The VM5 is a mid-size general-purpose VMC designed for versatile milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations across ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The machine table measures approximately 41.33 by 22.04 inches with axis travels of 32.28 inches in X, 20.07 inches in Y, and 20.07 inches in Z, providing a practical work envelope for medium-size prismatic parts and fixtures. The geared two-speed spindle operates across a range from 25 to 8,000 RPM through CAT40 taper tooling, providing the torque at lower speeds necessary for steel roughing alongside the higher speeds useful for aluminum and non-ferrous finishing. An automatic tool changer supports multi-operation programs without manual intervention. The machine's cast iron base and column construction reflects OKK's emphasis on structural rigidity and long-term accuracy retention. With overall dimensions of approximately 104 by 114 by 109 inches and a weight of approximately 15,500 pounds, the VM5 provides a stable, substantial platform for production machining. The VM5 has proven to be a reliable workhorse in job shop and manufacturing environments, valued for the build quality and precision characteristic of OKK's Japanese engineering approach.
