How much does the OKK VP 600 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from OKK. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The OKK VP 600 is a vertical machining center with a 1300×610 mm table, 1120 mm of X travel and a No. 40 taper spindle that runs to 12000 min-1 as standard. Y travel is 610 mm, Z is 460 mm, and the table is rated for 1200 kg.
Two rows of the table decide what kind of machine a given VP 600 is. The first is spindle speed: OKK lists 20000 and 30000 min-1 spindles as options over the standard 12000 min-1. The higher speeds suit small ball-nose cutters and fine finishing on mould cavities and electrodes, where a 12000 min-1 spindle cannot reach a workable surface speed on a tool of a few millimetres. The second is the magazine. Standard capacity is 20 tools, and 30, 40, 60, 80 and 120 are options, so a machine meant for long unattended runs or a wide part mix needs the magazine specified up front.
Y travel matches the 610 mm table depth, so the spindle covers the full depth of the table, while the table is longer than the 1120 mm of X travel. The 1200 kg load allows a heavy die block or a row of vises. Z travel of 460 mm is the tighter dimension: tall fixtures plus long tools use it quickly. Rapids are 48 m/min in X and Y and 36 m/min in Z. No power or torque figure is given for any of the three spindles.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Standard 12000 min-1 No. 40 spindle, with 20000 and 30000 min-1 spindles listed as options
- 1300×610 mm table rated for 1200 kg
- Y travel of 610 mm covers the full depth of the table
- Magazine options of 30, 40, 60, 80 and 120 tools above the standard 20
- Rapid traverse of 48 m/min in X and Y and 36 m/min in Z
Limitations
- Standard magazine holds only 20 tools; larger magazines are options
- Z travel of 460 mm limits tall parts and long tools on a raised fixture
- The 20000 and 30000 min-1 spindles are options, and OKK's table gives no power or torque for any spindle

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The standard spindle is a No. 40 taper unit with a maximum of 12000 min-1. OKK lists 20000 min-1 and 30000 min-1 spindles as options. The table gives no power or torque for any of them, and it does not say whether the faster spindles keep the No. 40 taper, so confirm the tool interface when ordering.
02
20 tools as standard. Optional magazines hold 30, 40, 60, 80 or 120 tools. Tool diameter, length and weight limits are not listed in OKK's table for this model, so ask for them before planning large cutters.
03
The table is 1300×610 mm and takes up to 1200 kg. Travels are 1120 mm in X, 610 mm in Y and 460 mm in Z, so the working envelope is long and shallow: wide plates and rows of parts fit well, tall parts less so.
