Okuma showcased its high-performance Multus B300II turning and milling centre for the full processing of small to medium batch sizes at the Intec trade fair in Leipzig last month.

With a turning diameter of 630 mm, a turning length of 900 mm and a magazine that can carry up to 120 tools, the Multus B300II is suitable for the flexible manufacturing of a wide range of components. In conjunction with the universal milling spindle, the main spindle with a speed of 5000 rpm ensures high productivity. At Intec, Okuma demonstrated a complete machining operation, including parts transfer to the opposing spindle and axis processing using the B axis.

Okuma also demonstrated which technologies improve reliability, precision and sustainability.It is possible to plan, simulate and test machining processes using the 3D Virtual Monitor (3DVM), even before production, avoiding cost-intensive mistakes. Using 3D models of the machine, workpiece and tool, the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) monitors the ongoing process.

The intelligent technologies on display included Machining Navi, which selects optimal cutting conditions to avoid vibrations and their impact on the workpiece, and Servonavi, which improves cycle times and accuracy when processing heavy workpieces. Furthermore, the Okuma 5-Axis Auto Tuning System detects and compensates for manufacturing tolerances and wear-related errors in the machine geometry. This enables the machine to maintain its precision for many years.

Okuma also applies its Thermo-Friendly Concept for maximum precision. The system compensates for temperature fluctuations, resulting in dimensional stability in continuous, long-term operation. Users save time, energy and costs since there is no need to warm up the machines or manually adjust settings. Okuma machines are available in the UK from NCMT.
