How much does the Okuma GENOS M560V-e cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Okuma. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Okuma GENOS M560V-e is a No. 40 vertical machining center, offered as BT40 or CAT40, with a 15,000 rpm spindle rated 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp). Its maximum machining volume is 1,050 × 560 × 460 mm (41.34 × 22.05 × 18.11 in) on a 1,300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in) table.
Start with the spindle, because it defines the kind of work. A 15,000 rpm No. 40 spindle with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) favours high feed rates with small and medium cutters over slow, heavy cuts with large ones. The taper choice matters to a shop with existing holders: BT40 and CAT40 are both listed, so the machine can be matched to the tooling already on the shelf.
In size it is the middle step of three. The GENOS M460-VE has a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table and the GENOS M660-V a 1,500 × 660 mm (60.24 × 25.98 in) table, and both list the same 32 tools, the same spindle power and the same rapid traverse: 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in X and Y, 32 m/min (1,262 ipm) in Z. Okuma's page for the GENOS M560-V carries the same table and the same figures as this model.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- No. 40 spindle available as BT40 or CAT40, to match holders a shop already owns
- 15,000 rpm top speed with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) behind it
- 1,050 × 560 × 460 mm (41.34 × 22.05 × 18.11 in) maximum machining volume
- Capacity for 32 tools, with rapid traverse of 32 m/min (1,262 ipm) in Z and 40 m/min in X and Y
Limitations
- Only No. 40 tapers are listed; work that needs a No. 50 (BT 50) spindle points to the MA-550V on the same table size
- The Z dimension of the machining volume is 460 mm (18.11 in), which fixture, part and tool must share
- X machining range of 1,050 mm is shorter than the 1,300 mm table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Okuma lists No. 40, as BT40 or CAT40. The spindle runs to 15,000 rpm and is rated 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp). State the taper when ordering, since it decides which holders and pull studs the machine accepts.
02
On the figures Okuma publishes, no difference shows: the GENOS M560-V has the same 1300 × 560 mm (51.18 × 22.05 in) table, the same 32 tools, the same 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) and the same rapid traverse of 40 m/min in X and Y and 32 m/min in Z. Ask Okuma what the suffix changes before treating them as two machines.
03
Between the GENOS M460-VE, with a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table, and the GENOS M660-V, with a 1,500 × 660 mm (60.24 × 25.98 in) table. All three list 32 tools and 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp), so the choice is made on table and travel.
