Does anyone have any feedback/experience with the OKUMA M560V GENOS Mill?
Just got some info on them Friday and they look pretty good.
Thanks, I saw some youtube videos but they are only going to show the positive side of them.
There are a lot of positives to the machine. The good Okuma control, the bridge type construction. We have a 1000 psi TSC unit that works well.
The only downside I see is if you are doing a lot of hi speed contouring. The Hi Speed cutting function on the Okuma is called Super Nurbs and its a $22K option. We have machines with and without Super Nurbs and those that have it really move. The machines come standard with "Hy Cut Pro" which Okuma says does the same thing but in my experience does not work anywhere near as good as Super Nurbs.
I am getting a quote to today. I must say they appear to be more affordable than I had thought.
I thought they were an entry level like the GENOS lathes, but these are still make in japan.

Where it goes sideways for me was on the 4th axis. Basically *double* the price to add the same size rotary as Brother or Fanuc want to throw one on their machines. .
playing devils advocate here.... did they change to the newer " high column spec" that raises the z range ( same travel but has real estate under for 4th axis, pallet changer, etc)? It may be worth a question. machines with 20 inch z travel and a 4th can get tight on tool lengths when half your z is tied up with automation..... depending what you are doing with it.
I'm just happy to be part of the dual column master race When you really start pushing the 560 to remove stainless or tool steel the dual column design shines. Actually it works really well for surfacing too. OSP is awesome, Okuma build quality is great, but it's the design that matters. Makino F mills are similar, I actually saw a brochure on a line of Hwacheon mills that use the same layout. I think that is the biggest benefit of the machine, and enough HP to take advantage of it.
The buffering of the entire program makes it fast as hell with no real "look ahead" required, but reloading after a programming change on the control takes some getting used to. I guess it does have look ahead but it's basically 150K lines..or whatever adds up to 2 MB of code.
