VTM-2000YB

The Okuma VTM-2000YB 5-axis combination lathe/machining center can perform turning, vertical, horizontal, and angled surface machining in one operation without reorienting the part in the chuck. With operator control of spindle direction in relation to the surface of the workpiece, side cutting with straight end mills can be used to dramatically reduce cutting time compared with point cutting using ball end mills. Cutting efficiency can be increased significantly and the lifetime of the tooling can be extended, reducing overall production costs.
