Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Okuma. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Okuma MA-600HIII is a horizontal machining center with a 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in) pallet and travels of 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 900 mm (35.4 in) in Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Z. Okuma gives the maximum machining volume as the same 1,050 × 900 × 1,000 mm, so the full stroke of each axis is available over the work.

Those travels are much larger than the pallet face. X runs 1,050 mm across a 630 mm pallet and Y rises 900 mm above it, which points to the intended work: tall tombstones and bulky housings that overhang the pallet and are reached on several faces by indexing instead of refixturing. The MA-600HII lists 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X with the same 900 mm of Y and 1,000 mm of Z, so the MA-600HIII is the wider of the two in X and matches it in the other axes.

The spindle motor is rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp). Five speed ranges appear in the table: 50–6,000, 50–10,000, 50–12,000, 50–15,000 and 50–20,000 rpm. Okuma brackets optional values, and most of these ranges are bracketed, so the spindle on a given machine depends on what was ordered. That choice shapes everything else. A 6,000 rpm spindle on a machine this size is for iron and steel with large cutters, while 15,000 or 20,000 rpm is for aluminium and small tools, so decide which work the machine is for before the spindle is specified.

The magazine holds 60 tools as standard. The bracketed alternatives are 40, 81, 111, 141, 171, 195, 225, 255, 285, 320 and 400 tools, which covers anything from a single repeating job to a cell that keeps tooling for many part numbers loaded. Rapid traverse is 60 m/min (2,362 ipm). The table shows no pallet load, spindle taper or torque figure, so ask Okuma for those before designing fixtures or planning heavy cuts.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Travels of 1,050 × 900 × 1,000 mm on a 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in) pallet give room for tall tombstones and parts that overhang the pallet
Five listed spindle speed ranges, from 50–6,000 rpm to 50–20,000 rpm, let the machine be specified for heavy ferrous work or for high-speed aluminium
60-tool magazine as standard, with listed alternatives up to 400 tools for cells that keep many jobs loaded
60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse keeps non-cutting moves short across 1,050 mm of X
X travel of 1,050 mm (41.3 in) against the 1,000 mm (39.4 in) listed for the MA-600HII, on the same 630 mm pallet size

Limitations

Speed ranges and magazine sizes beyond the base figures are bracketed options, so the spindle and tool capacity of a quoted machine have to be confirmed line by line
No pallet load is listed, so the combined weight of tombstone, fixtures and parts cannot be checked from the table alone
The table gives no spindle taper or torque figure, which leaves heavy-roughing capability to be confirmed with Okuma
The 630 × 630 mm pallet is small next to the 1,050 mm X travel, so using the full envelope means fixtures that overhang the pallet

Best For

Tombstone work on a 630 × 630 mm pallet with up to 900 mm of Y Housings and castings machined on several faces in one clamping Cells that need large tool counts, up to the 400-tool option High-speed aluminium work when a 15,000 or 20,000 rpm range is ordered

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels and pallet size of the Okuma MA-600HIII?

X is 1,050 mm (41.3 in), Y is 900 mm (35.4 in) and Z is 1,000 mm (39.4 in). The pallet is 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in), and Okuma lists the maximum machining volume as 1,050 × 900 × 1,000 mm, the same as the travels.

02 Which spindle speeds does Okuma list for the MA-600HIII?

The table lists 50–6,000, 50–10,000, 50–12,000, 50–15,000 and 50–20,000 rpm. Bracketed values are options in Okuma's notation, so check which range a specific machine was built with. The spindle motor is listed at 30/22 kW (40/30 hp).

03 How many tools does the MA-600HIII magazine hold?

60 tools as standard. Okuma also lists magazines of 40, 81, 111, 141, 171, 195, 225, 255, 285, 320 and 400 tools as bracketed alternatives, so capacity can be matched to how many jobs stay set up at once.

04 How does the MA-600HIII differ from the MA-600HII?

The MA-600HII lists 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel, while the MA-600HIII has 1,050 mm (41.3 in). Y and Z are 900 mm and 1,000 mm on both, both use a 630 mm pallet and both rapid at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm). The MA-600HII table gives 60 tools standard with up to 194 optional, and its control row names the OSP-P300MA with the OSP-P500 on the MA-600HIII.

05 How does it compare with the MA-500HII and the MA-8000H?

The MA-500HII is the next size down with a 500 × 500 mm (19.69 × 19.69 in) pallet and the same 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) rating and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids. The MA-8000H moves up to an 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) pallet, lists bracketed 45/37 and 45/30 kW motor options and rapids at 50 m/min (1,969 ipm).
