This extremely powerful, robust and precise machining lathe has received the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Award, which honors the 10 best new products of the year 2011.
OKUMA, the world's leading manufacturer of machines with integrated Numerical Control, designed the 5-axis VTM-1200 YB multifunction vertical machining lathe for turning complex, relatively large workpieces, as well as intensive 5-axis machining for a high level of production efficiency.
Bernard Besse, President of COdeM, comments: ?We are delighted to have received the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Award, which honors a new machine eagerly awaited by French manufacturers in the aerospace sector.
Our customers recently attended some of the most impressive machining demonstrations on this 5-axis VTM-1200 YB multifunction vertical machining lathe, a giant of 30 000 kg and the brand-new model in the VTM series.
Please note that this award is given to 10 products selected for their contribution to the development of industrial production and to strengthening Japan's international competitiveness. The winners are chosen from among all products developed and in operation over a period of one year.
By using the Thermo-Friendly Concept on the Okuma VTM-1200YB lathe, high machining precision, including dimensional change, varies by less than 20 microns (actual results).
Machining capacity is improved, with a chip removal rate of 6,5 mm2 in turning (on a diameter of 490 mm) and 1,003 cm3/mn in milling (for S45C). The machine is supplied as standard with 150 bar through-spindle coolant. It can be increased to 250 bar.
The combination of improved feed rate and better interoperability with anti-collision systems (Collision-Free Machining and Collision Avoidance System) means that the VTM-1200YB Center contributes both to greatly improving productivity and to reducing costs.
The new OKUMA design, which integrates ergonomics and universal design, makes the workspace very comfortable.
