2016 Okuma MU-8000V CNC 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center

The Okuma MU-8000V is a double-column 5-axis vertical machining center with the rigidity and thermal stability that have made Okuma's MU-V series a staple in aerospace, energy, and high-precision contract machining. This 2016 unit delivers X/Y/Z travels of 36.42 x 41.34 x 23.62 inches over a 31.5 inch diameter trunnion table (A-axis +90 to -120 degrees, C-axis 360 degrees continuous) with a two-position automatic pallet changer for uninterrupted production. A 35 HP, 12,000 RPM CAT-50 Big Plus integral spindle, a 166-tool matrix magazine, 1,968 ipm rapids, and high-pressure through-spindle coolant handle heavy titanium roughing and fine finishing alike, while the Okuma OSP-P300MA THINC control, ABSO absolute glass scales on all five axes, Thermal Active Stabilization, and Collision Avoidance System deliver accuracy and confidence for long unattended runs.

Compared with earlier OSP-P200-generation Okuma 5-axis machining centers, the MU-8000V is a meaningful step forward. The move to the OSP-P300MA THINC platform adds a faster processor, larger program memory, and advanced 5-axis functions such as Super NURBS and Collision Avoidance, while the double-column Thermo-Friendly structure with glass scales on all axes improves rigidity and long-term accuracy over prior P200-based designs. For a shop weighing a used 5-axis, the MU-8000V brings current-generation control technology, a large 39.37 inch diameter work envelope, and twin-pallet throughput in a field-proven Okuma platform.
