Overview

The Okuma GENOS M560-V is a vertical machining center in the large-table, general-purpose category — the size most shops move to when a compact VMC has run out of room but the work does not justify a heavier machine.

Machining volume is 1,050 × 560 × 460 mm (41.34 × 22.05 × 18.11 in) on a table of 1,300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in). The relationship between those two figures is the practical story. The table is longer than the X stroke, so the extra length is fixturing and clamping real estate rather than reachable cutting envelope. In use that means two vises with room for stops and tooling blocks, or a single long plate fixture, with the cutter covering the working portion. At 560 mm the Y stroke is wide for this class, and it is what makes setups spread across the table width practical rather than theoretical.

The spindle turns to 15,000 min⁻¹ on a 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) motor. That pairing is unusually broad. 15,000 min⁻¹ supports small-diameter carbide and high surface speeds in aluminum, while 22 kW is more power than machines in this class typically carry and gives the machine enough to rough steel and cast iron rather than only finish it. For sustained production cuts the 18.5 kW continuous rating is the number to size against.

Rapid traverse is 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in X and Y and 32 m/min (1,262 ipm) in Z. With a 1,050 mm X stroke those are not decorative figures — traverse time across a long table is a genuine share of the cycle on multi-part setups, and it is where the difference between machines of similar cutting capability usually shows up.

Tool capacity is 32, a workable library for high-mix work. It is enough to keep a standing set of common drills, taps and end mills resident alongside job-specific tooling, which removes most of the tool loading from a changeover.

The M560-V suits general job shop and contract manufacturing work, and medium-batch production where part sizes vary and one machine has to handle aluminum, steel and stainless without being reconfigured between jobs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,050 × 560 × 460 mm (41.34 × 22.05 × 18.11 in) of machining volume covers the size most shops move to when a compact VMC runs out of room
560 mm of Y stroke is wide for this class and makes setups spread across the table width practical rather than theoretical
15,000 min⁻¹ spindle on a 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) motor is a broad pairing — high surface speed for aluminum plus enough power to rough steel and cast iron
Rapids of 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in X and Y and 32 m/min (1,262 ipm) in Z, which is a real share of the cycle across a 1,050 mm stroke
32 tool pockets keep a standing set of common drills, taps and end mills resident alongside job-specific tooling
The 1,300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in) table gives clamping room beyond the cutting envelope for stops and tooling blocks

Limitations

The 1,300 mm table is longer than the 1,050 mm X stroke, so the table ends are fixturing real estate rather than reachable cutting envelope
460 mm of Z travel limits tall fixtures and long-reach tooling
For sustained production cuts the 18.5 kW continuous rating is the number to size against, not the 22 kW peak
32 pockets is workable for high-mix work but leaves little room for duplicate tooling on long unattended runs

Best For

General job shop and contract manufacturing where part sizes vary from job to job Medium-batch production in aluminum, steel and stainless on one machine without reconfiguration Multi-part and long-plate setups that use the full table width High-mix work that benefits from a resident 32-tool library Shops outgrowing a compact VMC but not justifying a heavier machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size part fits in the GENOS M560-V?

Machining volume is 1,050 × 560 × 460 mm (41.34 × 22.05 × 18.11 in) over a table of 1,300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in). The Z stroke of 460 mm is the figure to check against tall fixtures and long tools, since it is the tightest of the three.

02 Is the whole table reachable by the cutter?

No, and that is worth planning around. The table measures 1,300 mm long against a 1,050 mm X stroke, so the extra length is clamping and fixturing real estate rather than cutting envelope. In practice that means two vises with room for stops and tooling blocks, or a single long plate fixture with the cutter covering the working portion.

03 Can the M560-V rough steel and cast iron?

Yes. The spindle motor is rated 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp), which is more power than machines in this class typically carry, so the machine can rough ferrous material rather than only finish it. For sustained production cuts, size depth of cut against the 18.5 kW continuous rating rather than the 22 kW peak.

04 Is 15,000 min⁻¹ useful on a machine this size?

It is. The 15,000 min⁻¹ ceiling supports small-diameter carbide and high surface speeds in aluminum, which is what makes the machine broad rather than specialised. Combined with the 22/18.5 kW motor, it covers aluminum finishing and ferrous roughing on the same spindle.

05 Do the rapid traverse figures matter in practice?

On a machine with a 1,050 mm X stroke, yes. Rapids are 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in X and Y and 32 m/min (1,262 ipm) in Z. Traverse time across a long table is a genuine share of the cycle on multi-part setups, and it is usually where machines of similar cutting capability separate.
