Okuma VMC (Vertical Machining Center) Video

In this video an Okuma GENOS M560-V Vertical Machining Center is put to the test by machining S7 56Rc steel for a die/mold application. The VMC is equipped with a 15K Big Plus spindle and Hi-Cut options.

In addition to fast throughput, the machine achieves a desired surface finish of 0.49 - 0.61 Rz um on the right side core and cavity.

This video was shot during a test run for a customer. If you have a difficult-to-machine challenge, the Gosiger team will help you find the best solution.
