Okuma launches new horizontal MC with advanced chip control

June 4, 2021

Okuma, a major Japanese machine tool builder, announced in May 2021 the launch of its latest horizontal machining center (MC), the “MA-600HⅢ”.

upgraded from the previous model with improved chip handling

The MA-600HⅢ is a new addition to the MA-600H Series, succeeding the MA-600HII. The new model features significantly enhanced chip control capabilities. It is equipped with an automatic internal chip cleaning system and a sludge collection function in the coolant tank. These improvements support long-term stable operation by preventing chip accumulation and coolant contamination.

large machining area and high spindle performance

The machine offers a spacious machining area with a stroke of 1050 mm on the X-axis, 900 mm on the Y-axis, and 1000 mm on the Z-axis. The spindle has a maximum rotation speed of 6000 rpm, providing high performance for various machining tasks.

The machine dimensions are 3435 mm in width, 7068 mm in depth, and 3174 mm in height.

targeting renewable energy and semiconductor sectors

With its enhanced capabilities, the MA-600HⅢ is designed to meet the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency production. Its primary target markets include the renewable energy sector and semiconductor-related industries, where chip control and operational stability are critical.
