Okuma GENOS M560-V The Okuma GENOS M560-V is highly rigid has thermally stable construction that allows this vertical machining center to withstand thermal deformation. This results in reduced thermal growth and improved machining performance. It can handle a variety of materials, from titanium to aluminum, and does so without sacrificing finish quality or productivity. Designed on the Thermo-Friendly Concept and controlled by the open-architecture, user-friendly OSP-P control, our GENOS M560-V truly delivers affordable excellence.

High speed machining is usually associated with any spindle speed above 15k rpm, but it is much more than just a faster spindle. The whole machine must be considered when selecting a good candidate machine for HSM. Thermal compensation, overall machine rigidity and construction, positional feedback, the motion control system, tool retention, and many other characteristics must be looked at, in detail, before determining that a particular machine is suitable for the task. Traditionally, finish High Speed machining of hardened materials was performed by the use of EDM technology; and although this process was very effective, shops were continuously looking for faster and more efficient ways to produce their products. Eventually, as CAD/CAM software technology evolved, and new and more productive toolpath generation became available, the use of these advanced…
