Overview

The Okuma MILLAC 44V II is a compact vertical machining center. Travels are 560 × 410 × 410 mm (22.05 × 16.14 × 16.14 in) over a table of 630 × 400 mm (24.80 × 15.75 in), with a maximum table load of 200 kg (440 lb).

That 200 kg load limit is the specification that should shape the buying decision, and it is easy to overlook. It rules out heavy steel fixturing, large tombstones and multi-part plates in anything dense. Practically, the machine is intended for a single vise or a light dedicated fixture holding one part or a small group of them, and a fixture design that would be routine on a larger VMC can consume the whole allowance before the workpiece is added. Matched against the 560 mm X and 410 mm Y strokes, the picture is consistent: this is a small-part machine, not a scaled-down large one.

The spindle runs 120~12,000 min⁻¹ standard with a 20,000 min⁻¹ option, on a 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) motor rated at 25% ED and continuous. The high-speed option paired with a modest continuous rating points clearly at small-diameter tooling and high surface speeds rather than heavy removal — die and mold detail, small precision components, and finishing work where spindle speed matters more than torque.

Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (164.05 ipm), with a 30 m/min (98.43 ipm) alternative. On short travels, high rapids matter proportionally more than they do on a large machine: with 560 mm of X to cross, positioning is a meaningful fraction of a short cycle.

Tool capacity is 16, which is small. Jobs needing a broad tool list will require reloading between setups, so the machine favors part families with a shared, compact tooling set over true high-mix work.

The base machine occupies 1,600 × 3,440 × 2,400 mm. A 2APC pallet-changer version is available at 1,600 × 3,550 × 2,600 mm, adding pallet-change capability within nearly the same floor area — the configuration to specify for repeat production where load time would otherwise dominate. Control is available as OSP or FANUC.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Spindle runs 120~12,000 min⁻¹ with a 20,000 min⁻¹ option, aimed squarely at small-diameter tooling and high surface speeds
Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (164.05 ipm) matters proportionally more on short travels than it does on a large machine
A 2APC pallet-changer version adds pallet-change capability within nearly the same floor area — 1,600 × 3,550 × 2,600 mm against 1,600 × 3,440 × 2,400 mm
Control is available as OSP or FANUC, so the machine fits an existing programming environment
630 × 400 mm (24.80 × 15.75 in) table with 560 × 410 × 410 mm of travel is a coherent small-part package

Limitations

Maximum table load is 200 kg (440 lb), which rules out heavy steel fixturing, large tombstones and dense multi-part plates — a fixture that would be routine on a larger VMC can consume the whole allowance before the workpiece is added
Tool capacity is 16, so jobs needing a broad tool list require reloading between setups
Travels of 560 × 410 × 410 mm (22.05 × 16.14 × 16.14 in) confirm this is a small-part machine, not a scaled-down large one
The 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) motor rated at 25% ED and continuous is a modest continuous budget for heavy removal
The alternative 30 m/min (98.43 ipm) rapid configuration gives up much of the machine's positioning advantage

Best For

Die and mold detail work where spindle speed matters more than torque Small precision components held in a single vise or a light dedicated fixture Finishing operations on parts roughed elsewhere Part families with a shared, compact tooling set rather than true high-mix work Repeat production using the 2APC configuration where load time would otherwise dominate

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much can be clamped on the MILLAC 44V II table?

Maximum table load is 200 kg (440 lb) on a 630 × 400 mm (24.80 × 15.75 in) table. That limit should shape the buying decision: it rules out heavy steel fixturing, large tombstones and dense multi-part plates. The machine is intended for a single vise or a light dedicated fixture holding one part or a small group.

02 Is the MILLAC 44V II suited to mold and die work?

Yes, that is where it fits best. The spindle runs 120~12,000 min⁻¹ with a 20,000 min⁻¹ option on a 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) motor rated at 25% ED and continuous. A high-speed option paired with a modest continuous rating points at small-diameter tooling, high surface speeds and finishing rather than heavy removal.

03 What does the 2APC version add?

It adds an automatic pallet changer within nearly the same floor area — 1,600 × 3,550 × 2,600 mm against the base machine's 1,600 × 3,440 × 2,400 mm. It is the configuration to specify for repeat production where load and unload time would otherwise dominate a short cycle.

04 Is 16 tools enough?

It is small. Tool capacity is 16, so jobs needing a broad tool list will require reloading between setups. The machine favours part families with a shared, compact tooling set over true high-mix work where many different jobs need to stay loaded at once.
