Machine Comparison
Haas VF-2 vs Okuma GENOS M560-V
Haas Automation vs Okuma · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Haas VF-2 and Okuma GENOS M560-V are both general-purpose vertical machining centers for job shops. The verified table for this pair covers table size, spindle, tool capacity and rapids; travels and table loads are not published side by side.
On those figures the Okuma is the larger and faster machine. Its table measures 1300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in) against 36 × 14 in (914 × 356 mm), its spindle reaches 15,000 rpm against 8,100 rpm, and it carries 32 tools against 20. Rapids are X-Y 40, Z: 32 m/min against 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min). Spindle power is similar: 30 hp (22.4 kW) on the Haas, 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) on the Okuma.

Advantages
Haas VF-2
- Compact 36 × 14 in (914 × 356 mm) table for parts that do not need a 1300 mm table
- Suits a first CNC machining center, training programs and low-to-medium volume work
Okuma GENOS M560-V
- 1300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in) table against 36 × 14 in (914 × 356 mm)
- 15,000 rpm spindle against 8,100 rpm
- 32 tools against 20
- 40 m/min X-Y rapids against 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min)
Verdict
Choose the Okuma GENOS M560-V for high-mix job shop work and long-plate or multi-part setups, where the 1300 × 560 mm table, 32-tool library and 15,000 rpm spindle cut setups and cycle time. Choose the Haas VF-2 for a first CNC machining center, training or low-to-medium volume work on parts that fit a 36 × 14 in table, where cycle time is not the deciding factor.
