OKUMA MB-5000H HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The OKUMA MB-5000H is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring a 19.69" x 19.69" pallet size and a robust 10-pallet system with full 4th axis indexing capability, enabling complex multi-axis machining. It supports a maximum workpiece weight of 1,100 lbs and offers equal travel distances of 29.92" across the X, Y, and Z axes, providing versatile machining volume. The machine is equipped with a powerful 40 hp spindle motor running up to 15,000 RPM via a CAT 40 taper, suitable for a wide range of cutting applications. It includes a large 146-position automatic tool changer for rapid tool switching, enhancing productivity. High rapid traverse and cutting feed rates of 2,362 inches per minute allow for efficient material removal and short cycle times. The MB-5000H integrates advanced thermal stability features, including a spindle chiller and shower coolant system, to maintain accuracy during extended operations. It supports rigid tapping and advanced control functions through the Okuma OSP-P300M CNC control system, offering 200 sets of work coordinate systems, tool wear compensation, and tool breakage detection, ensuring precision and reliability. This 29,000-pound machine includes automated pallet handling to minimize downtime, with options such as a high-pressure through-spindle coolant system (1,000 PSI) for effective tool cooling. Additional features include a chip conveyor with filtration, touch probe integration for measurement accuracy, and extended capacity for lubrication and coolant management, making the MB-5000H ideal for high-volume, high-precision manufacturing environments.
