Okuma Corporation has developed the MU-500VIII 5-axis machining center (MC), a Green-Smart Machine that provides a large machining space in a compact footprint while also combining high accuracy and high productivity with decarbonization (energy saving).

In response to the growing global demand for decarbonization and process-intensive machining, Okuma has developed a compact, easy-to-use 5-axis MC capable of machining a maximum workpiece size of 700 mm (diameter) x 500 mm.
With the same space-saving footprint, operability, high accuracy, and high machining capacity as a 3-axis vertical MC, 5-axis machining that combines both high accuracy and energy savings is now more accessible than ever. Okuma uses single-chucking multi-face machining to enable high-accuracy, process-intensive machining for enabling customers to improve their productivity and profitability.
As a Green-Smart Machine equipped with the OSP-P500, a new generation CNC, this product is expected to contribute to solving the social issues facing the manufacturing industry (shrinking workforce, skill transfer issues, and decarbonization).
