The Okuma booth, S-8500, will feature a new series of horizontal machining centers, the MB-5000H and the MB-8000H. The MB-H series provides a unique combination of high-speed and power in a small footprint. Highly productive with a high speed spindle and reduced non-cutting time, the MB-H series is built on the Okuma Thermo-Friendly Concept which enables the machine to predict and counter thermal deformation, improving accuracy.
Each machine is expandable with modular ATC and APC. To further illustrate the expandability, the MB-8000H will be shown equipped with the new high-speed, expandable tool matrix.
Each machine will be cutting 2 parts (1 part per pallet). The MB-5000H will feature high speed milling and the new Machining Navi M-i software, utilize a ChipBlaster high-pressure coolant system, Renishaw inspection package, Sandvik tooling and Shell lubricants. The MB-8000H will demonstrate heavy cutting using the turn cut function, Kennametal through-spindle-coolant facemills, Renishaw gauging, dataZen software and Shell lubricants.
