Okuma MA-600HIII vs Okuma MA-8000H
Okuma vs Okuma · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma MA-600HIII and the Okuma MA-8000H are Okuma horizontal machining centers one pallet size apart: 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in) against 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in). Okuma publishes few comparable figures for this pair, so the table is short.
The Okuma MA-8000H has the larger pallet, for bigger housings and frames. The Okuma MA-600HIII is the faster mover, with 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids against 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). The magazines are the same: 60 tools as standard on both, with the same list of optional sizes up to 400 tools.
Specifications Comparison

| Tool Capacity | 60 [40, 81, 111, 141, 171, 195, 225, 255, 285, 320, 400] | 60 [40, 81, 111, 141, 171, 195, 225, 255, 285, 320, 400] |
| Rapid Traverse | 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) ▲ | 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) |
Advantages
Okuma MA-600HIII
- 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids against 50 m/min (1,969 ipm)
- Suited to tombstone work and multi-face machining of housings and castings on a 630 × 630 mm pallet
Okuma MA-8000H
- 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) pallet against 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in)
- Suited to large housings and frames and to heavy cuts in iron and steel
Verdict
Choose by the size of the part and fixture. If the work fits a 630 × 630 mm pallet, the Okuma MA-600HIII moves faster between cuts, at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) against 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), and suits tombstone production of housings and castings. If the parts are large housings or frames that need an 800 × 800 mm pallet, choose the Okuma MA-8000H. Tool capacity does not separate them: both start at 60 tools and offer up to 400.
