MA-8000H Horizontal Machining Center for reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving highly efficient production.

Okuma's MA-8000H Horizontal Machining Center was awarded the Nippon Brand Award; an award presented at the 52nd Innovative & Inventive Design Excellence Award (IDEA) sponsored by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun.

The MA-8000H is equipped with energy-saving technology that allows a machine tool to autonomously contribute to decarbonization. It is a horizontal machining center that achieves sustainability along with high accuracy and high productivity. Energy-saving technologies such as the Thermo-Friendly Concept and ECO suite plus enable the machine to maintain high accuracy while commiting to decarbonization. These are standard features and reduce carbon dioxide emissions during production.
Features such as the sludgeless tank (which reduces the frequency of tank cleaning) and AI machining diagnostics (which prevents tool breakage) are provided to enable long runs of continuous operation. Features like these also allow the machine to flexibly change and adjust to automation configurations and labor saving.
At Okuma, we are committed to providing solutions to the social issues that a variety of industries are facing within their manufacturing sites, including the semiconductor manufacturing equipment, energy, and automotive sectors. We are also committed in contributing to making dramatic improvements in labor productivity.
