Okuma GENOS M460-VE vs Yasda YBM 10T-TH
Okuma vs Yasda Precision · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma GENOS M460-VE and the Yasda YBM 10T-TH are both vertical machining centers, but the Yasda is a larger 50-taper machine aimed at precision mold and die work. Its table is 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) and its spindle is BT50; the Okuma has a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table and a BT40 spindle.
On speed the Okuma leads: 15,000 rpm standard against 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm an extra-cost option on the Yasda, and rapids of 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). Spindle power is similar, 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) against 22 kW (30 HP) continuous. The Okuma holds 32 tools; the Yasda holds 30 tools, or 60 as an option.

Advantages
Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- 15,000 rpm standard against 12,000 rpm; the Yasda reaches 15,000 rpm only as an option
- Rapids of 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm)
- 32 tools standard against 30 tools
Yasda YBM 10T-TH
- Larger 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) table against 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in)
- BT50 spindle against BT40, for larger tooling
- 60-tool magazine available as an extra-cost option
- Aimed at precision finishing of large mold bases and die plates
Verdict
The Yasda YBM 10T-TH suits mold and die shops finishing large mold bases and die plates, which need its 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) table and BT50 spindle more than they need speed. The Okuma GENOS M460-VE suits shops machining aluminum and smaller parts with many tools, where 15,000 rpm as standard and rapids of 40 m/min in X-Y shorten the cycle. Spindle power does not separate them.
