Overview
The Okuma MILLAC 761V II is a large-frame, heavy-duty vertical machining center from Okuma's MILLAC V II mold and die series. With 1,540 x 760 x 660 mm (60.6 x 29.9 x 26.0 in) of travel, it handles the large mold bases and die plates that smaller machines simply cannot accommodate.
The spindle delivers 4,000 RPM standard with 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) through a No. 50 (BT 50) taper. Options extend to 6,000, 10,000, 12,000, and 15,000 RPM with an optional 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) motor. The BT 50 taper is standard at this size, providing the clamping force needed for large-diameter face mills during roughing passes on large mold bases.
The 1,800 x 720 mm (70.9 x 28.3 in) table with 36-tool ATC (expandable to 54) handles substantial workpieces. At this size, heavy-duty box-way construction becomes essential: large mold bases weighing 1,500+ kg generate significant cutting forces during roughing, and box ways provide the vibration damping that keeps tools in the cut and surfaces smooth.
The 660 mm (26.0 in) Z-travel provides depth for deep cavity mold work. Combined with the 760 mm Y-axis, the MILLAC 761V II can reach into mold cavities that would require a double-column machine on smaller platforms. The thermally symmetrical headstock design minimizes positional drift during the multi-hour cycles typical of large mold machining.
Okuma's OSP-P300A control with advanced look-ahead contouring processes complex 3D surfaces smoothly, critical when finishing passes span the full 1,540 mm X-travel on a large mold base. The Thermo-Friendly Concept manages thermal growth across the substantial machine structure.
New MILLAC 761V II machines run $210,000-$280,000. At this size, competitors include the Makino V77, Mazak VTC-800, and the MB-80V from Okuma's own lineup.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,540 x 760 x 660 mm travel handles large mold bases that most VMCs cannot accommodate
- BT 50 taper provides authority for large face mills and heavy roughing on mold steel
- 1,500 kg table load supports large mold bases without concern about overloading
- Heavy-duty box-way construction provides exceptional vibration damping for finish-quality surfaces
- Thermally symmetrical headstock minimizes drift during multi-hour large mold machining cycles
- 660 mm Z-travel accesses deep cavities without extended tool holders
- 13,500 kg machine mass absorbs vibration from heavy interrupted cuts on large surfaces
Limitations
- Starting at $210K, the investment is substantial and requires a steady mold/die workload to justify
- Standard 4,000 RPM spindle is slow; most shops will need the 10K+ RPM upgrade for finishing
- 13,500 kg weight requires significant foundation preparation and crane access for installation
- Box-way rapids at 24 m/min extend non-cutting time on large parts with many feature positions
- Large footprint limits placement options in smaller shops

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New MILLAC 761V II machines run $210,000-$280,000. High-speed spindle options and the 54-tool magazine add to the base price. Used units from 2012-2017 sell for $120,000-$170,000.
02
Similar size class but different optimization. The MILLAC 761V II has wider Y-travel (760 vs 800 mm on the MB-80V) and a thermally symmetrical headstock design optimized for mold finishing. The MB-80V has slightly more X-travel (1,600 vs 1,540 mm). Both use box ways and BT 50. The MILLAC is the choice for dedicated mold work; the MB-80V for general-purpose large VMC work.
03
The 10,000 RPM option is the most popular for large mold work. It provides enough speed for semi-finishing and finishing in P20 and H13 while retaining good torque for roughing. The 15K option is for shops doing significant high-speed finishing. The standard 4K RPM is only suitable for very heavy roughing operations.
04
At 13,500 kg, plan for a minimum 300 mm (12 in) reinforced concrete slab on stable sub-grade. An isolated foundation pad is recommended. Floor space needs are approximately 5.0 x 4.0 meters including service access. Check with Okuma's installation team for site-specific requirements.
