2012 OKUMA MA46VAE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2012 Okuma MA46VAE is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Okuma's MA series, featuring an extended-speed spindle variant designed for high-speed cutting applications. The MA46VAE shares the robust double-column bridge frame architecture common across the MB/MA product families and incorporates Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept (TFC) to maintain dimensional accuracy during extended production runs. The worktable measures approximately 39.37" x 18.11" (1,000 x 460 mm) with axis travels of 30" in X, 18.11" in Y, and 18.11" in Z. The CAT40/BT40 Big-Plus spindle delivers approximately 15 HP (11 kW) continuous with a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM via built-in direct-drive motor, enabling high-speed finishing of aluminum, titanium, and hardened steel without sacrificing low-speed torque. A 20-tool arm-type ATC provides fast chip-to-chip changes. The machine runs on the Okuma OSP-P200M control, which provides conversational and G-code programming, Okuma's Machining Navi for chatter suppression, servo drives with absolute encoders, and network connectivity via Ethernet. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 110.4" x 85" (L x W) with a height of 108.1" and a weight of approximately 15,653 lbs (7,100 kg).
