UK launch of Makino DA300 and Okuma Genos five-axis VMC to be shown by NCMT
NCMT will present the UK launch of Makino's DA300 five-axis machining centre with a Cellro robotic loader, and the Okuma Genos M460V-5AX vertical machining centre, at a show.
NCMT plans a UK debut for Makino's DA300 at an upcoming exhibition. The five-axis vertical-spindle machine uses a trunnion design. The displayed setup pairs it with a Cellro system that loads and unloads parts automatically. Makino says the DA300 targets five-sided and fully interpolative five-axis work on complex parts in a single clamping.
NCMT will also show the Okuma Genos M460V-5AX, described as the first five-axis model in that series. Its machining volume is 762 x 460 x 460 mm. Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept covers the structure (TAS-C) and spindle (TAS-S). Okuma reports thermal deviation below 10 µm over 24 hours despite an 8°C ambient swing. Standard equipment includes Okuma's five-axis tuning system and Absoscales on X, Y and Z.
For equipment buyers, ask whether the robotic loading package suits your part sizes and changeover pattern. Request test data for thermal deviation under your shop's temperature conditions. Confirm which tuning and scale features are standard in the quoted configuration.
