HMC with W Axis Cuts Exotic Materials
Sponsored Content – IMTS 2016 Technology eNewsletter
The hallmark of the MA-12500H-W 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-12500H-W will be shown with the new W-axis option and in skeleton form. It will feature a cutting simulation of a steel construction frame.
Key Features of Okuma’s MA-12500H-W Horizontal Machining Center
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.
