Advantages
Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX
- The smaller of the two, sized for compact multi-sided parts on a 400 mm (15.75 in) table
- Gives up nothing on the spindle or in Z: the same 15,000 rpm, 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) and 460 mm (18.1 in)
Okuma GENOS M560V-5AX
- 1,050 mm (41.3 in) X travel against 762 mm (30.0 in)
- 560 mm (22.0 in) Y travel against 460 mm (18.1 in)
- 500 mm (19.69 in) table against 400 mm (15.75 in)
- 60 tools against 48
Verdict
The spindle is the same, so choose by part size and tool count. The Okuma GENOS M560V-5AX suits wider parts and multi-part fixtures that need 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X, the 500 mm (19.69 in) table and 60 tools for long unattended runs. The Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX suits compact parts that fit a 400 mm (15.75 in) table and 48 tools; nothing in the table rewards buying the larger machine for work that small.
