Machine Comparison
Enshu GE460H vs Okuma MA-12500H
Enshu vs Okuma · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The Enshu GE460H and the Okuma MA-12500H are both horizontal machining centers, but the makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the table holds only spindle taper and rapid traverse. Those two rows still point to different machines. The Enshu GE460H has a BIG-PLUS® CAT 40 spindle, with BT and HSK listed as options; the Okuma MA-12500H has a No. 50 taper.
On rapid traverse the Enshu GE460H is faster, at 3543 IPM against 42 m/min (1,654 ipm), more than twice the figure. The Okuma MA-12500H is listed for heavy milling and boring on large prismatic parts, while the Enshu GE460H is listed for aluminum and light-alloy parts on a small pallet.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Enshu GE460H | Okuma MA-12500H |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Taper / Nose | BIG-PLUS® CAT 40 (OP: BT / HSK) | No. 50 |
| Rapid Traverse | 3543 IPM ▲ | 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) |
Advantages
Enshu GE460H
- Rapid traverse of 3543 IPM against 42 m/min (1,654 ipm)
- BIG-PLUS® CAT 40 spindle, with BT and HSK listed as options, suited to aluminum and light-alloy work
Okuma MA-12500H
- No. 50 spindle taper for heavy milling and boring
- Aimed at large prismatic parts and long operations that need many tools in the magazine
Verdict
With only two comparable rows, the verdict is narrow. Pick the Enshu GE460H for aluminum and light-alloy prismatic parts and tombstone work on a small pallet, where 3543 IPM rapids and a CAT 40 spindle fit the job. Pick the Okuma MA-12500H for large prismatic parts that call for a No. 50 taper and heavy milling and boring. Compare travels, pallet size and spindle data on each machine's own page before deciding.
