Horizontal machining centre built for HSM

NCMT product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Mar 20, 2007
The new Okuma MA-800HB horizontal-spindle, twin-pallet-change machining centre has been built for high-speed machining and has a 1400 x 1250 x 1250mm working envelope.
Despite its 1400 x 1250 x 1250mm working envelope and 800mm pallet capable of supporting parts weighing two tonnes, the new Okuma MA-800HB horizontal-spindle, twin-pallet-change machining centre has been built for high-speed machining.
It joins pre-existing 600, 500 and 400 size models in the range and is available in the UK through sole sales and service agent, NCMT.
The machine, which features cutting feed rates up to 50m/min in all linear axes, will be shown for the first time in Europe at an open house to be held at Okuma's European technical centre in Krefeld, near Dusseldorf, Germany, on 8th and 9th May 2007.
Anyone from the UK interested in attending the open house on either day should contact Sam Matthews at NCMT on telephone number 020 8398 4277 or by e-mail.
Each trip will involve one overnight stay on the previous evening.
Live cutting demonstrations will show the technical capabilities of a range of Okuma machines including the smaller MA-500 and -400 machining centres, and four large mill-turn centres, the B-axis milling spindle models Multus B440 and B300, and MacTurn 550 and 350 with conventional live turrets.
The manufacturer's advanced temperature compensation systems for machine structure and spindle will feature strongly, as well as its market-leading crash avoidance software.
