Okuma vs Okuma · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma GENOS M460-VE and the Okuma VTR-350A are different kinds of machine that serve different jobs, and Okuma publishes few comparable figures for this pair. The GENOS M460-VE is a vertical machining center with a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table. The VTR-350A is a large turning machine with a 3,000 mm (118.11 in) table.
The spindles show how far apart the jobs are. The GENOS M460-VE runs to 15,000 rpm with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp), for milling with small tools. The VTR-350A runs at 1–160 rpm with 55/45 kW (74/60 hp), for roughing large rings, discs and housings.

Advantages
Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- 15,000 rpm spindle for aluminum and small-tool milling, against 1–160 rpm
- Vise and fixture-plate milling on a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table
Okuma VTR-350A
- 3,000 mm (118.11 in) table for large rings, discs and housings
- 55/45 kW (74/60 hp) spindle against 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp)
- 1–160 rpm range for high-torque roughing of large castings and forgings
Verdict
Choose by the work, since the two do not overlap. The Okuma GENOS M460-VE is for shops milling aluminum and small parts in vises and on fixture plates, where 15,000 rpm matters. The Okuma VTR-350A is for shops turning large rings, discs, housings, castings and forgings on a 3,000 mm (118.11 in) table with 55/45 kW (74/60 hp). With only three shared rows, the table supports no finer comparison than that.
