OKUMA GENOS M460-VE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a compact footprint with X, Y, and Z travel dimensions of 30 inches, 18.11 inches, and 18.11 inches respectively, powered by a robust 30 HP spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 RPM. It includes a 32-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with CAT-40 BIG-PLUS taper tooling, combining the CAT40 interface with BIG-PLUS dual-contact technology for enhanced rigidity and spindle-toolholder stability. The BIG-PLUS taper offers simultaneous contact between the spindle taper and flange face, improving tool life, reducing chatter, eliminating Z-axis movement at high speeds, and increasing tool change repeatability. The machine's table measures 18.11 inches wide by 39.37 inches long, supporting precise three-axis machining, complemented by a Nikken 4th axis with infinite adjustment and rotary union for advanced rotary capabilities. Operational safety and automation readiness are enhanced by integrated light curtains and a servo door. Chip and coolant management is optimized with an LNS Turbo MH250 MicroHinge chip conveyor, an LNS ChipBlaster, and an LNS Mist Collector, ensuring efficient debris removal and air cleanliness during heavy machining tasks. Additional programmability is enabled via extra M codes, and the machine is robot ready for automation integration. The presence of CAT50 tooling compatibility suggests versatility with heavier-duty operations. This machine blends high-speed, high-power spindle performance with advanced tooling and automation features, suited for precision, productivity, and reliability in milling, drilling, and rotary applications.
