Overview

The Okuma MILLAC 1052V II is the flagship of Okuma's MILLAC V II series, a massive vertical machining center that delivers double-column-level capability in a C-frame configuration. With 2,550 x 1,050 x 800 mm (100.4 x 41.3 x 31.5 in) of travel, it machines the largest mold bases and die plates that would otherwise require a bridge-type or double-column machine.

The spindle delivers 4,000 RPM standard with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) through a No. 50 (BT 50) taper. Options extend to 6,000, 10,000, and 12,000 RPM. At this scale, the spindle power and BT 50 taper are sized for large-diameter face mills that can cover ground quickly on mold bases measuring over 2 meters in length.

The 2,800 x 1,050 mm (110.2 x 41.3 in) table with 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) load capacity handles the largest automotive mold bases, including full bumper and instrument panel molds. The 36-tool ATC (expandable to 54) manages complex multi-tool programs across the extensive work envelope.

Heavy-duty box-way construction is essential at this scale. The MILLAC 1052V II weighs approximately 24,000 kg, providing the mass-based vibration isolation needed when cutting forces act across a 2.5+ meter workpiece. The thermally symmetrical headstock and Thermo-Friendly Concept work together to maintain accuracy across the large machine structure.

The 800 mm (31.5 in) Z-travel provides exceptional depth for deep cavity mold work, tall fixture setups, and parts with significant vertical features. Combined with over 1 meter of Y-travel, the MILLAC 1052V II can reach into deep mold cavities that would otherwise require a gantry-type machine.

New MILLAC 1052V II machines run $380,000-$500,000. At this level, the decision is between this machine and a true double-column MCR series. Competitors include the Mazak VTC-800/50SR, Doosan BM 3340, and Hyundai Wia KBN-135C.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2,550 x 1,050 x 800 mm travel handles the largest mold bases without needing a double-column machine
3,000 kg table load supports full automotive-scale mold bases including bumper and IP molds
800 mm Z-travel provides exceptional depth for deep cavity work on large mold components
24,000 kg machine mass provides massive vibration isolation for heavy cutting across large surfaces
Heavy-duty box ways maintain surface finish quality across 2.5+ meter finishing passes
Thermo-Friendly Concept manages thermal growth across the substantial machine structure
C-frame design provides better operator access than double-column machines for setup and inspection

Limitations

Starting at $380K, pricing overlaps with double-column machines that offer greater rigidity
Standard 4,000 RPM spindle requires upgrade for most finishing applications
24,000 kg weight requires major foundation engineering and heavy lifting equipment for installation
Rapids at 18 m/min add substantial non-cutting time on parts with distributed features
C-frame deflection at maximum Y-travel is greater than equivalent double-column designs

Best For

Large automotive mold shops producing bumper, instrument panel, and door panel injection molds Aerospace manufacturers machining large wing skins, fuselage panels, and structural components Die manufacturers producing very large transfer and progressive stamping die sections Shops that need large-envelope capability with better operator access than double-column machines Heavy industry manufacturers producing large turbine housings and generator components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does an Okuma MILLAC 1052V II cost new?

New MILLAC 1052V II machines run $380,000-$500,000. High-speed spindle options and the 54-tool magazine add cost. At this price range, it overlaps with entry-level double-column machines. Used units from 2008-2015 sell for $200,000-$300,000.

02 MILLAC 1052V II or double-column MCR: which should I buy?

The MILLAC 1052V II provides better operator access due to its C-frame design, making setup and inspection easier. A double-column machine provides more rigidity, especially at maximum Y-axis extension. If your work involves heavy roughing near the Y extremes, go double-column. If your work is primarily finishing with occasional roughing, the MILLAC may be the better choice for accessibility.

03 What foundation does the MILLAC 1052V II require?

At 24,000 kg, this machine requires engineered foundation design. Plan for minimum 400 mm (16 in) reinforced concrete with proper sub-grade preparation. An isolated foundation pad is essential. Floor space needs approximately 8.0 x 5.5 meters including service access. Professional foundation engineering is strongly recommended.

04 What spindle speed is best for large mold finishing?

The 10,000 RPM option is recommended for most large mold finishing work. It provides adequate surface speed for semi-finishing and finishing in P20 and H13 steel while retaining torque for roughing. The standard 4K RPM is only suitable for heavy roughing with large face mills.
