Okuma MA-600HIII HMC handles a wide range of applications, from heavy-duty to high-feed machining

The Okuma MA-600HIII’s new 10K RPM standard spindle effectively handles a wide range of applications, from heavy-duty to high-feed machining. The enhanced spindle is now equipped with a new thru-spindle coolant suction feature, which removes residual coolant inside the tool and spindle.

This next-generation horizontal machining center weighs in at a massive 55,000 pounds, ensuring structural stability and consistent precision machining operations. This machine has a larger work envelope than its predecessor, with added X-axis travel capabilities.

It can perform automatic tool change operations in less than four seconds flat, according to the company. Additional enhancements have also been made to the thermal management technology, including decreased temperature deviation of the machine to an improved 7μ dimensional change per 24-hour period.

It features an enhanced coolant management system, ball screw cooling for the X, Y and Z axes, an upgraded workspace design to prevent chip accumulation, and improved chip evacuation functionality. This level of innovation maximizes uptime and allows for long periods of continuous machine operation.

The all-new sludge-less tank technology activates sophisticated filtering and liquid flow patterns of the chip/coolant mixture to mitigate settling of the mixture in the bottom of the receiving tank.
