How much does the Okuma MU-5000V cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Okuma. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Okuma MU-5000V is a 5-axis machining center with a 500 mm (19.69 in) table that accepts a workpiece up to Ø 700 x 500 mm height (Ø 27.6 x 19.7 in) and 500 kg (1,100 lb). The spindle is listed at 10,000 rpm and 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp), and rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm).
The useful detail is that the permitted workpiece is wider than the table. A part can overhang the 500 mm table out to a 700 mm diameter, so the table size is not the limit it first appears to be, provided the fixture supports the overhang and the total stays inside 500 kg. That load figure is the one to check first with steel parts, since a solid part of the full listed diameter and height would be far over it.
The spindle rating is modest and suits finishing-weight cuts and general work more than heavy roughing. The magazine is 32 tools as standard, with 48, 64 and matrix magazines in brackets as options. Below it, the MU-4000V is listed with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) on a 400 mm (15.75 in) table. Above it, the MU-6300V has a 630 mm (24.80 in) table with the same 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) rating as here.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Accepts workpieces up to Ø 700 x 500 mm height (Ø 27.6 x 19.7 in), wider than the 500 mm (19.69 in) table
- 500 kg (1,100 lb) maximum table load
- 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapid traverse
- Magazine options of 48, 64 and matrix above the standard 32 tools
Limitations
- Spindle power is listed at 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp), half the 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) shown for the smaller MU-4000V
- The spindle is listed at 10,000 rpm, a limit for small-diameter tools in aluminium
- The 500 kg (1,100 lb) load must cover part and fixture, which a full-size steel workpiece can exceed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Okuma lists a maximum workpiece of Ø 700 x 500 mm height (Ø 27.6 x 19.7 in) and a maximum table load of 500 kg (1,100 lb). The table itself is 500 mm (19.69 in), so the largest parts overhang it.
02
The listed spindle runs to 10,000 rpm with 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp). Okuma's headline rows give no taper or torque figure, so ask for the torque curve if the work includes roughing in steel.
03
32 as standard. Okuma shows 48, 64 and matrix magazines in brackets, which marks them as options. Choose the size against the full tool list for every part that will share the machine.
