HIGH SPEED AND POWER PACKED INTO A SMALL FOOTPRINT

These horizontal machining centers use the Thermo-Friendly Concept that enables each machine tool to predict and counter thermal deformation for improved accuracy.

MB-5000H and MB-8000H horizontal machining centers from Okuma (Nagoya, Japan) provide a unique combination of high-speed and power in a small footprint. Highly productive with a high-speed spindle and reduced non-cutting time, the MB-H series is built on the Okuma Thermo-Friendly Concept that enables the machine to predict and counter thermal deformation, improving accuracy. Each machine is expandable with modular ATC and APC.

A tool matrix is available as an option on most Okuma horizontal machining centers and can hold from 81 tools to 285 tools depending upon requirements and configurations. This tool matrix dramatically reduces tool handling time and increases tool capacity, providing expandability in reduced floor space.

Okuma’s Machining Navi software improves cutting times and performance by searching for the optimum cutting conditions by measuring chatter vibration. Machining Navi M-i (Intelligence) automatically adjusts tool rotation speed and Machining Navi M-g (Guidance) advises the operator on the optimum spindle speed for cutting. This provides the right balance between fast cutting and chatter reduction, improving cutting efficiency.

A coolant monitor system uses the THINC control to monitor coolant pH and concentration. Designed in conjunction with Shell Lubricants, this system alerts manufacturers when their coolant concentrations have fallen or risen beyond ideal parameters. Proper coolant maintenance is important to obtaining peak performance from a machine tool. This easy-to-use system takes the guesswork out of coolant monitoring.
