We are evaluating different 5 axis machines to add to our line up of laser cutters and 3 axis machines.
Currently trying to decide between: DMU 50 Okuma m460v -5ax Matsuura mx520
We have a m560v currently so naturally we were leaning towards the m460v. What we don’t like is that the spindle is limited to 15k rpms (want 20k) and the tools are locked at 32 (prefer 60). Other downside would be the seemingly lack of automation options.
Matsuura has the smallest footprint which we appreciate being that we have a smaller facility. Also their pallet changing upgrade path is attractive. Their reputation in the 5 axis realm is also a plus
The dmu50 3rd gen has the pedigree and nice control, compact and ergonomic. Also has an automation upgrade path.
Anyone with experience or info on any of these they can share?
