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-8000H is a No. 50 taper horizontal machining center with an 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) rotary pallet that takes workpieces up to ø1,450 x 1,450 mm (ø57.1 x 57.1 in). Standard spindle power is 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) at 50–6,000 rpm, rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), and the standard magazine holds 60 tools.

The workpiece limit is the figure to notice. A part or fixture can be nearly twice as wide as the pallet it sits on, which is what allows large gearbox housings, pump bodies and welded frames to be machined on four sides without a larger machine. Okuma's table does not give the axis travels or the pallet load, so both have to be checked against the part before anything else.

The spindle is where the machine is configured. The 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) standard can be replaced by 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) or 45/30 kW (60/40 hp) versions, and the speed range can go from 50–6,000 rpm to 50–10,000 rpm or 50–12,000 rpm. Okuma states that the 12,000 RPM high-speed spindle has 45 kW max output. A shop cutting mostly iron and steel will care about the higher-power option; one that also runs aluminium castings has a reason to look at the faster ones.

Sixty tools is the standard magazine. A 40-tool magazine is listed as the smaller alternative, and larger options run from 81 to 400 tools.

Among Okuma's MA horizontals the MA-8000H sits between the MA-600HIII, with a 630 × 630 mm (24.80 × 24.80 in) pallet and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids, and the MA-12500H, with a 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) pallet, 45/37 kW (60/49 hp) as standard and 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) rapids.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Workpieces up to ø1,450 x 1,450 mm (ø57.1 x 57.1 in) on an 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) pallet
Spindle power options of 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) and 45/30 kW (60/40 hp) above the standard 30/22 kW (40/30 hp)
High-speed 12,000 RPM spindle option with 45 kW max output
50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapid traverse, faster than the 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) of the MA-12500H
60-tool standard magazine with options up to 400 tools

Limitations

The standard spindle is 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) at 50–6,000 rpm; more power or speed is an option
Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) is below the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) of the MA-600HIII
Okuma's table gives no axis travel or pallet load figure for this model

Best For

Large housings and frames up to ø1,450 x 1,450 mm (ø57.1 x 57.1 in) Heavy cuts in iron and steel with the optional 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) spindle Mixed iron and aluminium work using the 50–12,000 rpm spindle option Long operations needing 60 or more tools in the magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size workpiece can the Okuma MA-8000H take?

Up to ø1,450 x 1,450 mm (ø57.1 x 57.1 in) on an 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) rotary pallet. Okuma's table does not list the pallet load or the axis travels, so confirm both for the specific part and fixture.

02 What spindle options are available on the MA-8000H?

The standard No. 50 spindle is rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) with a 50–6,000 rpm range. Options are 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) and 45/30 kW (60/40 hp), and speed ranges of 50–10,000 rpm and 50–12,000 rpm. Okuma lists the 12,000 RPM high-speed spindle with 45 kW max output.

03 How many tools does the MA-8000H hold?

60 tools as standard. A 40-tool magazine is listed as an alternative, and the larger options are 81, 111, 141, 171, 195, 225, 255, 285, 320 and 400 tools.

04 How does the MA-8000H compare with the MA-12500H?

The MA-12500H has a 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) pallet, a standard 45/37 kW (60/49 hp) spindle, an 81-tool standard magazine and 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) rapids. The MA-8000H has an 800 × 800 mm (31.50 × 31.50 in) pallet, a standard 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) spindle, 60 tools and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids.
