Machine Comparison
Okuma MU-5000V vs Okuma MU-6300V
Okuma vs Okuma · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Okuma MU-5000V and the Okuma MU-6300V are two sizes of Okuma 5-axis machining center that share every listed figure except the table. The MU-5000V has a 500 mm (19.69 in) table and the MU-6300V a 630 mm (24.80 in) table.
Everything else in the comparison is the same: a 10,000 rpm spindle with 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp), 32 tools as standard with 48, 64 or matrix magazines as options, and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapid traverse. So the MU-6300V is stronger only on workpiece size, and the MU-5000V gives up nothing listed here by being smaller.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Okuma MU-5000V | Okuma MU-6300V |
|---|---|---|
| Table Size | 500 mm (19.69 in) | 630 mm (24.80 in) |
| Max Spindle Speed | 10,000 rpm | 10,000 rpm |
| Spindle Power | 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) | 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) |
| Tool Capacity | 32 [48, 64, matrix] | 32 [48, 64, matrix] |
| Rapid Traverse | 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) | 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) |
Advantages
Okuma MU-5000V
- A smaller 500 mm (19.69 in) table format for parts that do not need 630 mm (24.80 in)
- Same listed spindle, tool capacity and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids as the larger machine
Okuma MU-6300V
- 630 mm (24.80 in) table against 500 mm (19.69 in)
- Takes mid-size housings and structural parts that outgrow the smaller table
Verdict
Table size is the whole decision. Choose the Okuma MU-6300V when mid-size housings and structural parts need a 630 mm (24.80 in) table. Choose the Okuma MU-5000V when the work fits a 500 mm (19.69 in) table, because the listed spindle (10,000 rpm, 11/7.5 kW), the 32-tool standard magazine and the 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids are identical. Nothing in these figures rewards buying the larger machine for parts that fit the smaller one.
