OKUMA HOWA MILLAC 438 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a work table measuring 41.34 inches by 15.75 inches, providing a substantial tool support area. It offers precise motion across three axes with travels of 32.28 inches in X, 16.93 inches in Y, and 17.72 inches in Z, supporting complex milling operations. The spindle uses a CT40 taper, facilitating robust tool holding and a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 rpm, suitable for a wide range of high-speed cutting tasks. Equipped with a 20-station automatic tool changer (ATC), the machine supports flexible machining processes with rapid tool switching capabilities. The control system is powered by the Fanuc 18i-M CNC controller, recognized for its reliability and advanced features including multi-axis control, high-speed interpolation, and enhanced contouring performance. The Fanuc 18i series supports up to 12 controlled axes and enables advanced programming options such as tool length offset and cutter compensation directly from the CNC interface, allowing for efficient 5-axis machining adaptability. This controller also integrates advanced communication capabilities and can handle complex tool path calculations, facilitating efficient machining workflows. Together, these features ensure the machine delivers flexible, accurate, and high-performance milling suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring precise multi-axis control, tool management, and high spindle speeds.
