Advantages
DMG Mori CMX 1100 V
- Greater x travel of 1,100 mm (43.3 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater y travel of 560 mm (22.0 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater z travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Faster rapid traverse at 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) reduces non-cutting time between operations
- Superior table size at 1,500 x 580 mm (59.1 x 22.8 in) vs 1,000 x 460 mm (39.4 x 18.1 in)
Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- Higher maximum spindle speed of 15,000 RPM enables faster cutting on aluminum and non-ferrous materials
- More spindle power at 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) for aggressive material removal in harder materials
- Larger tool magazine with 32 (arm-type ATC) capacity reduces manual tool changes on complex parts
- More competitive pricing at $85,000 - $110,000 compared to $110,000 - $155,000
Verdict
The DMG Mori CMX 1100 V holds a spec advantage in this comparison, but the right choice depends on your shop's priorities. If the DMG Mori CMX 1100 V's strengths in areas like X Travel and Y Travel align with your work, it's the clear pick. The Okuma GENOS M460-VE may still win on dealer proximity, existing tooling compatibility, or specific features that matter most to your applications. Request quotes from both dealers and, if possible, run your actual parts on each machine before deciding.
