How much does the Okuma MB-10000H cost?
Estimated price range
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 MB-10000H is a No. 50 taper horizontal machining center with a 1,000 × 1,000 mm (39.37 × 39.37 in) pallet and a maximum machining volume of 1,400 × 1,250 × 1,250 mm (55.12 × 49.21 × 49.21 in). It is sized for machine frames, large castings and weldments that need several faces cut in one clamping.
The volume exceeds the pallet in every direction, with 1,400 mm of width over a 1,000 mm pallet and 1,250 mm of both height and depth. In practice the limit on part size is more likely to be the fixture and the pallet load than the axis strokes, and the table lists no pallet load, so get that figure from Okuma early.
The standard spindle runs 50–6,000 rpm on a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) motor. Okuma brackets two upgrades: a 50–12,000 rpm range and a 37/26 kW (50/35 hp) motor. The table does not say whether the two come together. Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), and the magazine holds 40 tools as standard with 60 or 100–400 listed as options. For scale, the larger MA-12500H has a 1,250 × 1,250 mm (49.21 × 49.21 in) pallet and rapids of 42 m/min (1,654 ipm).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Machining volume of 1,400 × 1,250 × 1,250 mm (55.12 × 49.21 × 49.21 in) over a 1,000 × 1,000 mm pallet
- No. 50 taper spindle with a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) motor as standard and a bracketed 37/26 kW (50/35 hp) option
- A 50–12,000 rpm range is listed as an option to the standard 50–6,000 rpm, which opens the machine to aluminium structures
- Magazine options of 60 and 100–400 tools beyond the standard 40
Limitations
- The standard magazine is 40 tools, a small number for long multi-face cycles on parts this size; larger magazines are options
- The standard 50–6,000 rpm range limits small-diameter tooling unless the 12,000 rpm option is ordered
- Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) is lower than the 60 m/min listed for the smaller MB-5000HII
- No pallet load or individual axis travels are listed, only the machining volume

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Okuma lists a maximum machining volume of 1,400 × 1,250 × 1,250 mm (55.12 × 49.21 × 49.21 in) on a 1,000 × 1,000 mm (39.37 × 39.37 in) pallet. The table gives no pallet load, so the weight of part plus fixture needs to be confirmed separately.
02
The standard spindle is No. 50 taper, 50–6,000 rpm, with a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) motor. Bracketed options are a 50–12,000 rpm range and a 37/26 kW (50/35 hp) motor. The table does not state whether these two options are tied to each other.
03
It is the largest of the three by a wide margin. The MB-5000HII has a 500 × 500 mm (19.69 × 19.69 in) pallet and the MB-4000H a 400 × 400 mm (15.75 × 15.75 in) pallet with a No. 40 (BT40) spindle. The MB-10000H uses a No. 50 taper and a 1,000 × 1,000 mm pallet, and its 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids are slower than the 60 m/min of the MB-5000HII.
