Machine Comparison
Okuma GENOS M460-VE vs Spinner VC 1150
Okuma vs Spinner · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma GENOS M460-VE and the Spinner VC 1150 are both vertical machining centers that take BT40 tooling. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: spindle speed, spindle interface and tool capacity. The headline difference is that Okuma lists one configuration where Spinner lists a span of versions.
The Okuma GENOS M460-VE has a 15,000 rpm spindle with a BT40 taper and a magazine of 32 tools. The Spinner VC 1150 is listed with spindles from 5,000 - 18,000 rpm, so the version chosen can sit below or above the Okuma, and with magazines of 32 - 60 tools. Spinner also lists four spindle interfaces: HSK63, SK40, BT40 and BBT40.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Okuma GENOS M460-VE | Spinner VC 1150 |
|---|---|---|
| Max Spindle Speed | 15,000 rpm | 5,000 - 18,000 rpm ▲ |
| Spindle Taper / Nose | BT40 | HSK63, SK40, BT40, BBT40 |
| Tool Capacity | 32 | 32 - 60 |
Advantages
Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- 15,000 rpm is the listed spindle speed, where the Spinner VC 1150 span starts at 5,000 rpm
- One defined specification: BT40 taper and 32 tools, with no spindle variant to select
- Suits aluminum and small-tool work, and vise or fixture-plate jobs
Spinner VC 1150
- Spindle versions reach 18,000 rpm at the top of the span, against 15,000 rpm
- Magazines of 32 - 60 tools against 32 on the Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- Choice of HSK63, SK40, BT40 or BBT40 spindle interface against BT40 only
Verdict
On these three rows the choice turns on configuration. Choose the Okuma GENOS M460-VE for aluminum and small-tool work that a 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle and 32 tools cover. Choose the Spinner VC 1150 for jobs with long tool lists that need up to 60 tools, for a spindle interface other than BT40, or for small-tool finishing on the 18,000 rpm version at the top of its span. Travels and spindle power are not in this table, so check them against the part.
