1993 OKUMA MC60VAE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1993 Okuma MC60VAE is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Okuma's large-format MC series, designed for heavy-duty milling, boring, and tapping operations on large prismatic parts in steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The MC60VAE employs Okuma's rigid cast-iron column-and-base construction and gear-head spindle drive, providing the structural mass and high torque required for aggressive material removal across a wide work envelope. The worktable measures approximately 60.20" x 24.80" with axis travels of approximately 59" in X, 24.80" in Y, and 22.4" in Z. The CAT50 taper gear-head spindle delivers approximately 20 HP (15 kW) continuous with a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM, optimized for high-torque roughing applications. Rapid traverse is 1,181 IPM (30 m/min) on all linear axes. A standard ATC enables multi-operation setups without manual tool changes. The Okuma OSP-7000M control manages all three axes with servo drives, providing G-code and conversational programming, canned drilling, tapping, and boring cycles, and rigid tapping capability. As a 1993-vintage machine, the MC60VAE should be evaluated for servo drive condition, ballscrew and guideway wear, and control system integrity. Overall machine footprint is approximately 163" x 181" (L x W) with a height of 130" and a weight of approximately 23,100 lbs.
