JTEKT FV1165 vs Okuma GENOS M460-VE
JTEKT vs Okuma · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The JTEKT FV1165 and the Okuma GENOS M460-VE are both 40-taper vertical machining centers, aimed at different work. The FV1165 is a box-way machine for heavy roughing of cast iron and steel, with a 1,300 x 650 mm (51.2 x 25.6 in) table. The GENOS M460-VE is a compact VMC with a 1,000 × 460 mm table, aimed at aluminum and mixed-material parts.
The GENOS has the faster and stronger spindle on paper: 15,000 rpm against 8,000 RPM (12,000 RPM optional), and 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) against 15 kW (20 hp). It carries 32 tools against 30. Rapids split by axis: the FV1165 lists 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), the GENOS 40 m/min on X-Y and 32 m/min on Z. Controls are a Fanuc 0i-MF Plus and Okuma's OSP-P300A.
