2016 OKK VP9000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2016 OKK VP9000 is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by OKK (Osaka Kiko Co., Ltd.), a Japanese precision machine tool builder. The VP9000 is a high-speed, large-format VMC engineered for precision machining of large complex workpieces requiring both the table area for large mold blocks and the spindle speed for fine surface finishing. The machine table measures approximately 51.8 by 36.22 inches with axis travels of 44.09 inches in X, 36.22 inches in Y, and 22.05 inches in Z, providing a large and nearly square work envelope well suited to large mold cavities, aerospace panels, and structural plates. A 25 HP continuous spindle through No. 40 CAT taper tooling reaches 20,000 RPM, enabling simultaneous heavy-duty roughing capability and fine high-speed finishing in the same machine without spindle changes. This combination is particularly valuable for mold and die applications requiring complete machining from roughing through cavity finishing in a single setup. The Mitsubishi Neomatic 635V CNC control provides high-speed look-ahead processing, smooth surface finish algorithms, rigid tapping, and helical interpolation suited to complex three-axis contour milling. With a machine weight of approximately 34,000 pounds, the VP9000 is among the heaviest machines in OKK's vertical lineup, providing exceptional structural damping for the high-speed precision work the 20,000 RPM spindle enables.
