IMTS 2016: MA-12500HW Horizontal Machining Center with New W-Axis

The hallmark of the MA-12500HW is its ability to provide a good balance of speed and cutting power for machining difficult-to-machine materials, cast iron and aluminum alloys. This makes it well suited for large part aerospace machining. The W-axis allows for a longer tool stroke to machine complex, difficult to reach part features. It has a maximum tool length of 1,100 mm. At IMTS 2016 the MA-12500HW will be shown with the new W-axis option and in skeleton form.  It will feature a cutting simulation of a steel construction frame.

Built on an integral bed and base, and designed with reinforcing ribs for increased stability and load carrying capacity, the MA-12500H incorporates Okuma’s exclusive Thermo-Friendly Concept to achieve maximum thermal stability and accuracy. Standardly-equipped with a 50 taper 6,000 rpm, 60/50 horsepower spindle, it is also available with either a 12,000 rpm wide range spindle or 4,500 rpm heavy duty spindle.
