Okuma's MCR-S (Super) Double-Column Machining Center Receives a 50th Machine Design Award
Okuma's MCR-S (Super) Double-Column Machining Center [5-Face Machining] received a Machine Design Award (IDEA) sponsored by The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (The Daily Industrial News). Two of our products won a prize at the same time; the other being our MB-80V Vertical Machining Center.
The MCR-S was developed by thoroughly addressing the issues in die/mold machining such as cycle time, accuracy, area step error and machined surface quality. There are three main design concepts:
- Super-accuracy-oriented designing
-Equipped with Okuma's Thermo Friendly Concept, a thermal deformation control technology that maintains high accuracy and stability through the entire workspace area.
-A newly developed 3D Calibration* system, a volumetric accuracy calibration technology that provides super-accurate comparisons with actual machine spatial accuracies.
-Achieves highly reliable levels of on-machine gauging* comparable to a coordinate measuring machine by fusing the technologies of volumetric accuracy calibration and Okuma thermal deformation control.
- Human-assisted machine design
-New Accuracy Stability Diagnosis Function* allows the machine to self-diagnose machine accuracy stability and provide easy-to-understand numericals and visuals.
-Equipped with Hyper-Surface*, a high-quality NC control technology for machined surfaces that greatly reduces die/mold polishing work.
- Innovatively designed for die/mold production
-Optimal machine designs provide shorter total lead times, lower costs, higher speed and accuracy, as well as higher quality machining.
-With the laser unit mounted specification*, the total lead time is dramatically shortened by the world's only super process-intensive machining that can cut, measure, heat treat, and repair parts with one machine.
* Optional
The MCR-S is a super-high accuracy, process-intensive, double-column machining center that revolutionizes the production of press dies.
Machine designed high-speed continuous feedShortening cycle times while maintaining geometric accuracy with optimal cooling.
Mechanically designed to ensure minimal following error even at fast feeds.
