2012 OKUMA MX45VAE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2012 OKUMA MX45VAE is a 3-axis vertical machining center from OKUMA's MX-V series, designed for precision milling, drilling, boring, and tapping of small-to-medium workpieces. The 39.37" x 20.08" worktable supports loads up to 1,100 lbs and provides a stable platform for close-tolerance work. Axis travels of 30.00" in X, 18.11" in Y, and 17.72" in Z span a practical cutting envelope for a wide range of production parts. The AC spindle motor delivers 10 HP at up to 7,000 RPM through a CAT40/BT40 spindle. The VAE designation reflects an enhanced variant with incremental refinements to the control interface and mechanical systems relative to the base VA model. The machine is controlled by OKUMA's OSP-7000M CNC, offering conversational programming and a user-friendly interface typical of OKUMA's controls of that era. A 20-tool ATC enables multi-operation setups. Rapid traverse of 1,181 ipm in X/Y supports production efficiency. At approximately 12,125 lbs, the MX45VA is a rigid, thermally stable platform suitable for job shop and production environments machining aluminum, steel, and cast iron.
