The MU-5000V(L) continues Okuma’s fundamental commitment to total system engineering of its machine
tools. This means ALL Okuma design and manufacture of machine, motors, drives and controls and
including the industry leading Okuma Care (24-7) support program.
This level of integration and support is an Okuma Trademark. Your single source.
Thank you for considering Okuma products.
Work Range
Okuma has one of the largest work envelopes in its class. This provides the flexibility to handle a wide
range of work-pieces.

Materials
These components are produced from high
tensile strength (40,000#) alloyed cast iron
which is carefully stress relieved. The bed
casting is designed with reinforcing ribs for
increased stability and load carrying
capacity.
The column utilizes a reinforced box
construction to increase stiffness, resist
vibration and minimize deflection during
high thrust loads.
Axis Drives
Ball Screws
Powerful, robust high precision ball-screws generate sideway movement to all three axes of the MU-
5000V(L). The ball screws are based on unique Okuma designs and exacting performance
standards. They are directly coupled to special Okuma axis drive servomotors.
Contrary to commercial drive systems, the custom Okuma servomotors precisely match the electrical
and mechanical prerequisites of the MU-5000V(L) performance requirements. An essential element in
the drive system is the unique Okuma absolute position digital feedback encoder connected directly
to the shaft of each Okuma servo drive motor.
The Ballscrews are precision mounted on the center of any controlled axis and are preloaded at the
end of the ball screw opposite the drive system. The precision ball screws are supported by a twin set
of thrust bearings mounted in ball screw support brackets at each end of the ball screw.
Pre-load is set during machine construction by careful hand sizing and fitting. Once set, the
pre-load is maintained by a twin set of ball screw mounting brackets supporting both ends of
the screw.

The ball screw mounting is designed for both tension and compression for thermal
compensation and control of ball screw growth.
Machine Lubrication
The MU-5000V(L) is lubricated automatically by a grease system that is programmed to
automatically apply grease at appropriate intervals of time providing long interval
maintenance.
Spindle orientation for tool change is accomplished by the Okuma spindle drive and magnetic pulse
generator on the spindle unit, which accurately orients and holds the spindle in position.
Easy Access
The operating area of the machine is totally
enclosed and has a low friction sliding front
door with observation window. The X axis
travel trunnion table offer the best
configuration for part load/unload, part
inspection and easy access to the tooling.
SAFETY
Safety Features
The MU-5000V is equipped with a variety of safety devices to prevent accidents and injuries. However,
it is strongly advised that operators use the machine carefully and not rely solely on these devices.
Complete safety precautions are found in the operation manual.
♦ Programmed soft limits are used to provide each axis with stroke end limits.
♦ Extreme axis limits use limits for dampening the contact before motor overload occurs.
♦ Emergency stop push button, slide hold push button, and alarm indicator on operational panel.
♦ Fluid levels are interlocked
♦ Full enclosure guarding with standard access door interlock for complete chip and coolant
containment.
♦ Measured 72dB level at operator station at no load run of max spindle speed and max rapid
traverse of axes. Measurement method available on request.
♦ ATC magazine access door interlock
♦ Warning / alert signage
♦ Safety documentation
These positioning guarantees are based on standards ISO 230-2. ISO 10791-4:1998 and JIS
B6336-4:2000.
These are part of a series of measurement that are made and recorded. They are made by laser
interferometer with pitch error compensation applied, the machine leveled and a warm up
performed before measurement.
Geometry Inspection
Laser alignments and positioning accuracy checks are among over 200 quality tests performed on
every machine. Lead screw and backlash compensations are measured during final inspection and
maintained in the control to insure and guarantee the above stated accuracies.
Inspection data sheets accompany each machine tool showing above tolerances and actual data.
