Okuma vs Okuma · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X and the Okuma MU-10000H are both large Okuma 5-axis machining centers. Okuma publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the only row the two share is spindle power. The Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X is listed at 45/55 kW (60/75 hp) and the Okuma MU-10000H at 45/37 kW (60/50 hp).
Beyond that, the two are aimed at different work. The Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X is described for long structural parts, rows of smaller parts on a long table and high-removal-rate milling. The Okuma MU-10000H is described for large, heavy 5-axis parts such as casings and frames, with spindle options for either heavy roughing or aluminum.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X | Okuma MU-10000H |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 45/55 kW (60/75 hp) ▲ | 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) |
Advantages
Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X
- Higher listed spindle power: 45/55 kW (60/75 hp) against 45/37 kW (60/50 hp)
- Suited to long structural parts and to several smaller parts fixtured in a row
Okuma MU-10000H
- Suited to large, heavy 5-axis parts such as casings and frames
- Described with spindle options for heavy roughing in steel and titanium or for aluminum structural parts
Verdict
On the one figure available, the Okuma MILLAC 853PF 5X has the higher spindle power, 45/55 kW (60/75 hp) against 45/37 kW (60/50 hp). That alone should not decide the purchase.
