Machine Comparison
Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX vs Okuma MU-S600V
Okuma vs Okuma · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX and the Okuma MU-S600V are both small Okuma 5-axis machining centers with a 400 mm (15.75 in) table. The GENOS M460V-5AX has the faster spindle and the larger tool magazine; the MU-S600V is built around short cycles on a small family of parts.
The GENOS M460V-5AX offers 15,000 rpm and 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) against 50–12,000 rpm and 15/11 kW (20/15 hp), slightly more X travel at 762 mm (30.0 in) against 700 mm (27.6 in), and 48 tools against 16 on the drum magazine or 32 on the chain version. The MU-S600V has the faster rapids: 60 m/min against 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z.

Advantages
Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX
- 15,000 rpm spindle against 12,000 rpm
- 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) spindle against 15/11 kW (20/15 hp)
- 48 tools against 16 on the drum magazine or 32 on the chain version
- 762 mm (30.0 in) X travel against 700 mm (27.6 in)
Okuma MU-S600V
- 60 m/min rapids against 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z
- Suited to repeat production of a small part family that needs 16 tools or fewer
Verdict
Choose the Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX for varied 5-axis work: 48 tools, 15,000 rpm and 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) leave room for more part numbers and heavier cuts. Choose the Okuma MU-S600V for repeat production of a small family of parts, where 16 tools are enough and 60 m/min rapids shorten each cycle. If the part mix is likely to grow, the 32-tool chain magazine on the MU-S600V narrows the gap but does not close it.
