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 MF-46V is a BT 40 vertical machining center with a built-in two-pallet changer, each pallet measuring 760 × 460 mm (29.92 × 18.11 in). The pallet changer is the point of the machine: one fixture is loaded outside the work area while the other is being cut, so the spindle is not left waiting on the operator.

X travel is 760 mm (29.9 in) and Z is 460 mm (18.1 in); Okuma states the machining volume as 762 × 460 × 460 mm (30.00 × 18.11 × 18.11 in). Travel in X matches the pallet length and the machining volume matches its 460 mm depth, so the full pallet face is usable. The MB-46V II is different in this respect: its 560 mm (22.0 in) X stroke is shorter than its 760 mm table.

The spindle is listed at 6,000 rpm with a 12,000 rpm option, on an 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) motor. Those are production figures aimed at drilling, tapping and milling of steel and iron parts; small-tool aluminium work will want the 12,000 rpm spindle. Only one motor rating is listed, where the GENOS M460-VE, a machine of the same table depth, has 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp).

Rapid traverse is 40 / 32 m/min (1,575 / 1,260 ipm). The magazine holds 20 tools, with 32 and 48 as options. Pallet load is not among the published rows, so get that figure before designing fixtures, since fixture and part ride on the pallet together at every change.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Built-in two-pallet changer with 760 × 460 mm (29.92 × 18.11 in) pallets
X travel of 760 mm (29.9 in) covers the full pallet length
Rapids of 40 / 32 m/min (1,575 / 1,260 ipm)
12,000 rpm spindle available as an option over the standard 6,000 rpm
Magazine options of 32 and 48 tools

Limitations

Standard spindle is 6,000 rpm, low for small cutters and aluminium
Single motor rating of 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp); the GENOS M460-VE lists 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp)
Pallet load is not stated among the published rows
Standard magazine is 20 tools, which two different fixtures on two pallets can use up quickly

Best For

Production runs where parts are loaded on one pallet while the other is cut Fixtures and parts within a 760 × 460 mm (29.92 × 18.11 in) pallet Drilling, tapping and milling of steel and iron at up to 6,000 rpm Running two different jobs alternately, one per pallet

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the Okuma MF-46V have a pallet changer?

Yes. A two-pallet automatic pallet changer is built in, with a pallet size of 760 × 460 mm (29.92 × 18.11 in). While one pallet is in the work area the other can be unloaded and reloaded, which keeps the spindle cutting through part changes.

02 What are the travels of the MF-46V?

X travel is 760 mm (29.9 in) and Z travel is 460 mm (18.1 in). Okuma gives the maximum machining volume as 762 × 460 × 460 mm (30.00 × 18.11 × 18.11 in), which covers the whole pallet.

03 What spindle and motor does the MF-46V use?

A BT 40 spindle at 6,000 rpm, with 12,000 rpm as an option. The motor is 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp), and no larger motor is listed. Size roughing cuts to that rating, and choose the 12,000 rpm spindle if the parts call for small drills and end mills.

04 How is the MF-46V different from the MB-46V II?

The MF-46V has the built-in two-pallet changer and 760 mm (29.9 in) of X travel. The MB-46V II has 560 mm (22.0 in) of X on a 460 × 760 mm (18.11 × 29.92 in) table, with faster rapids of 42/36 m/min against 40 / 32 m/min on the MF-46V. Both offer 20, 32 or 48 tools.
