New Okuma & Howa V100R Vertical Turning Center Combines Heavy Metal Removal with High Accuracy
Deerfield, IL---Designed for heavy turning in high tensile alloys and cast materials, Okuma & Howa's new V100R offers job shops and manufacturers strength and versatility for large parts applications.
The cutting envelope is a generous 39.37" maximum cutting diameter, 49.21" maximum swing diameter and 35.04" maximum cutting length. Combining a powerful 74-horsepower motor with a rugged gear box, the V100R ranges from 4 to 750 rpms. The V12 turret carries 12 tools and accommodates standard tooling from 1.25" to 2" and boring bars from 2.0" to 2.5." X-axis travel is 22.24" and travel in the Z axis is 35.04." Rapid traverse in both axes is 945ipm. The control is the popular Fanuc 18iT.
Heavy-Duty Construction - Multiple Standard Features
The V100R is equipped with ample, flame hardened box ways for precision performance and long life. The ultra rigid column dampens vibration, and the saddle is counter-balanced for ease of movement. The spindle is the largest in its class, and the integrated quill/spindle assembly assures accuracy with minimal vibration.
According to Okuma & Howa Product manager Mark Davis, "The V100R is already proving to be an exceptionally popular machine. In fact, the one we received for IMTS 2004 was already sold prior to the show. The variety of applications it can handle is truly extensive and includes aerospace, earth moving equipment, wheel manufacture for large off-road vehicles, semi-conductor and gear manufacturing. The stability of the V100R, combined with high horsepower and high torque in all ranges delivers exceptional finish and longer tool life. For heavy turning applications, the V100R represents the next generation of vertical turning."
