There are now three models in the Okuma MB-H Series of Horizontal Machining Centers, and all three provide manufacturers the opportunity to reduce non-cutting time, maintain tight tolerances and maximize floor space. All of which adds up to enhanced productivity.
A combination of high-speed, high-torque, structural stability and reduced part handling enables these Horizontal Machining Centers to machine various sizes of prismatic parts more efficiently than Vertical Machining Centers. Plus, according to studies by The University of Michigan and American Machinist, the average Horizontal Machining Center utilization, as measured by spindle run time, is 85% versus only 25% for VMC – a significant improvement in spindle usage. Moreover, in many operations the compact MB-H machines eliminate multiple VMCs, thus freeing valuable floor space.
All three models come with impressive specs:
