Overview
The Okuma GENOS M560V-e is a large-format vertical machining center in Okuma's value-accessible GENOS line, offering a 1,050 x 560 mm work envelope on a 1,560 mm table — one of the largest work areas available in the GENOS VMC series. Designed for shops that need long-travel VMC capability without moving to a bridge-type or dedicated large-format machine, the M560V-e serves aerospace fixture machining, long plate work, die and mold base preparation, and production of elongated components.
The 12,000 RPM No. 40 taper spindle produces 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) of continuous power — appropriate for a range of materials from aluminum at full speed to steel with reduced parameters. Rapid traverse of 42 m/min on X/Y and 36 m/min on Z keeps non-cutting time competitive for long-travel operations where axis positioning constitutes a meaningful fraction of total cycle time. The standard 30-tool ATC supports more complex programs than the M460V-e, acknowledging that larger workpieces typically require more tooling operations.
Like all GENOS machines, the M560V-e includes Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept thermal management and Anti-Crash System as standard — the full OSP-P300M control with conversational programming, canned cycles, and Okuma's intelligent technology suite. The cast iron column and base construction provides the structural stiffness needed to maintain geometric accuracy across the full 1,050mm X-travel, where machine deformation under cutting loads has a larger effect on part accuracy than in shorter-travel machines.
The M560V-e competes with the Haas VF-6, Mazak VCN-530C, and DMG Mori CMX 1100V in the large-format accessible VMC segment. New M560V-e machines typically price between $110,000 and $175,000. Specs sourced from Okuma Corporation published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,560 mm table with 1,050mm X-travel accommodates long plates, large fixtures, and multiple parts in a single setup — far exceeding typical mid-range VMC capacity
- 30-tool ATC provides greater flexibility for complex multi-operation programs on large workpieces compared to the M460V-e's 24-tool magazine
- Thermo-Friendly Concept and Anti-Crash System standard on both axes of the longer X-travel are particularly valuable for maintaining accuracy across the full long-travel range
- Competitive pricing under $175,000 puts large-format VMC capability within reach of job shops without flagship machine budgets
Limitations
- No. 40 taper and 18.5 kW spindle power are limiting for heavy material removal on large steel workpieces where No. 50 taper and higher power would be appropriate
- 510mm Z-travel is relatively shallow for a large-format machine, limiting access to deep cavities or tall workpieces common in die/mold work
- 30-tool ATC may still be insufficient for very complex programs where 40+ tools are needed without a mid-program tool change or manual swap

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The M560V-e offers 1,050mm X-travel and a 1,560mm table versus the M460V-e's 762mm X-travel and 1,100mm table. The M560V-e also has a 30-tool ATC versus 24 tools on the M460V-e, and a higher table load capacity of 1,000 kg versus 700 kg. The M560V-e is the choice when part size or multiple-part setups exceed the M460V-e's work envelope.
02
Yes. The M560V-e is well-suited for aluminum aerospace plate work within its 1,050 x 560mm envelope. The 12,000 RPM spindle runs aluminum effectively with appropriate tooling, and the 1,000 kg table load handles heavy aluminum plate setups. For parts longer than 1,050mm in X, a bridge-type VMC or horizontal machining center would be required.
03
Yes, through-spindle coolant (TSC) is available as an option on the GENOS M560V-e. Standard pressure is typically 20 bar (290 psi), with higher pressure options available. TSC is particularly valuable for deep hole drilling and tapping in steel and aluminum where flood coolant alone cannot reliably clear chips from the cutting zone.
04
The M560V-e uses Okuma's OSP-P300M control. All major CAM systems including Mastercam, Hypermill, Fusion 360, and NX include Okuma OSP post processors. The OSP control also supports Fanuc-format G-code programs with minor modifications for shops that prefer standard G-code over Okuma's proprietary syntax.
05
Okuma specifies positioning accuracy of ±0.005mm and repeatability of ±0.003mm for the GENOS M560V-e. Thermo-Friendly Concept maintains these specifications across shift duration without warmup programs. For applications requiring better than ±0.005mm positioning over the full 1,050mm travel, the flagship Okuma MB or MU series with linear scale feedback provides enhanced accuracy.
