2008 OKUMA MB46VAE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Okuma MB46VAE is a 3-axis vertical machining center and the high-speed variant of Okuma's MB46V series, distinguished by its 15,000 RPM extended-speed spindle optimized for high-speed cutting of aluminum, titanium, and hardened steel. The 'E' suffix denotes the enhanced spindle package, built on the same double-column bridge frame with Thermo-Friendly Concept (TFC) thermal management and linear guideway construction as the base MB46VA. The worktable measures 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 taper spindle delivers approximately 15 HP (11 kW) continuous with a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM via a built-in spindle motor, enabling aggressive high-speed finishing without the vibration and maintenance requirements of a belt-drive system. Rapid traverse is 1,417 IPM (36 m/min) on X/Y and 1,181 IPM on Z. A 20-tool arm-type ATC performs chip-to-chip changes in approximately 4 seconds. The Okuma OSP-U100M control provides conversational and G-code programming, Okuma's Machining Navi for automatic chatter suppression, Collision Avoidance System (CAS), and Ethernet connectivity. 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).
