Machine Comparison
Okuma MU-10000H vs Okuma MU-4000V
Okuma vs Okuma · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma MU-10000H and the Okuma MU-4000V are both Okuma 5-axis machining centers, built for very different parts. Okuma publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the only shared row is spindle power, where the MU-10000H is listed at 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) and the MU-4000V at 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp), about half.
The rest follows from what each machine is for. The Okuma MU-10000H is described for large, heavy parts such as casings and frames, including heavy roughing in steel and titanium. The Okuma MU-4000V is described for small 5-axis parts, high-speed aluminum work and small-tool finishing, including unattended cells.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Okuma MU-10000H | Okuma MU-4000V |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) ▲ | 22 /18.5 kW (30/25 hp) |
Advantages
Okuma MU-10000H
- About twice the listed spindle power: 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) against 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp)
- Suited to large, heavy 5-axis parts such as casings and frames
Okuma MU-4000V
- Suited to small 5-axis parts and high-speed aluminum work
- A fit for unattended cells and small-tool finishing rather than heavy roughing
Verdict
These machines do different jobs, and the single shared figure reflects that: 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) on the Okuma MU-10000H against 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) on the Okuma MU-4000V. Choose the Okuma MU-10000H for large, heavy parts and heavy roughing in steel or titanium. Choose the Okuma MU-4000V for small 5-axis parts, aluminum and fine finishing with small tools.
