How much does the Okuma MULTUS B400II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Okuma. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Okuma MULTUS B400II is a multitasking turning centre with a 710 mm (27.95 in) maximum turning diameter, a JIS A2-8 spindle nose and a 38–3,800 rpm spindle. Okuma puts a JIS A2-11 nose and a 30–2,800 rpm range in square brackets, its way of marking options.
Two spindle power figures appear on Okuma's page: VAC 22/15 kW (VAC 30/20 hp) and, as main spindle power, 30/22 kW (40/30 hp). The page does not tie either rating to a nose or a speed range, so have the motor named in the quotation before estimating roughing rates.
Rapid traverse is 40 m/min on X and Z and 26 m/min on Y, given together as 40/26 m/min (1,575/1,024 ipm). Against the MULTUS U4000, which has the same JIS A2-8 [JIS A2-11] nose pair, the B400II turns a larger diameter, 710 mm against 650 mm (25.59 in), and moves more slowly: the MULTUS U4000 lists 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) on Xa and Za.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 710 mm (27.95 in) maximum turning diameter, more than the 650 mm (25.59 in) of the MULTUS U4000
- JIS A2-8 spindle nose as standard, with JIS A2-11 listed as the option
- 38–3,800 rpm spindle speed range in the standard build
- 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) rapid traverse on X and Z
Limitations
- Y-axis rapid traverse is 26 m/min (1,024 ipm), well below the 40 m/min of X and Z
- The bracketed optional speed range stops at 2,800 rpm, against 3,800 rpm as standard
- Two spindle power ratings are listed without a statement of which configuration each belongs to

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Okuma's page shows two figures: VAC 22/15 kW (VAC 30/20 hp), and 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) given as main spindle power. It does not say which nose or speed range each belongs to, so ask for the motor rating in writing for the configuration you are quoted.
02
38–3,800 rpm as standard. Okuma lists 30–2,800 rpm in square brackets as the optional range, and also brackets JIS A2-11 as the optional nose to the standard JIS A2-8.
03
Both have a JIS A2-8 nose with JIS A2-11 as the option. The MULTUS B400II turns 710 mm (27.95 in) where the MULTUS U4000 turns 650 mm (25.59 in). The MULTUS U4000 is quicker in rapid traverse, 50 m/min (1,968 ipm) on Xa and Za against 40 m/min on X and Z for the MULTUS B400II, and it lists a capacity of 40 tools.
