The Okuma MULTUS U5000 is a high-end, large-capacity multi-tasking CNC machine designed to combine turning, milling, drilling, and full 5-axis machining into a single platform. As part of Okuma’s advanced MULTUS U-series, it features a rigid flat-bed structure with a traveling column design, delivering exceptional stability, precision, and machining flexibility for complex and large components.
The machine supports a maximum turning diameter of approximately 650 mm and turning lengths ranging from 1,500 mm up to 3,000 mm depending on configuration, making it suitable for industries such as aerospace, oil & gas, and heavy engineering. The main spindle typically operates up to around 3,000–4,200 rpm, while the B-axis milling head offers a wide 240° range and a high-speed milling spindle capable of up to 12,000 rpm for advanced multi-axis machining.
The MULTUS U5000 includes an automatic tool changer with 40 tools (expandable to 80–180 tools), optional sub-spindle, and optional lower turret for increased throughput. Equipped with Okuma’s OSP-P500 control and Thermo-Friendly Concept, it ensures stable accuracy and efficient operation. Overall, the MULTUS U5000 is designed for manufacturers requiring high precision, flexibility, and reduced setups in large-part, process-intensive applications.

WHY BUY USED OKUMA MULTUS U5000
Buying a used Okuma MULTUS U5000 is a strategic investment for manufacturers needing high-capacity multi-tasking capabilities without the significant cost of a new machine. These machines are engineered with heavy-duty construction, powerful spindle systems, and advanced thermal stability technologies, allowing them to maintain accuracy and performance even after years of intensive use.
Cutting time (spindle hours) is one of the most critical factors when evaluating a used MULTUS U5000. Machines with low cutting hours—typically under 5,000–7,000 hours—are considered lightly used and can perform close to new condition. Units with moderate usage (7,000–18,000 hours) remain highly reliable for most applications if properly maintained. Machines exceeding 18,000–30,000 hours may require servicing of major components such as the B-axis head, milling spindle, or drive systems, but they can still offer strong value for less demanding workloads.
One of the biggest advantages of the MULTUS U5000 is its ability to consolidate multiple machining processes into a single setup. Even older machines retain features such as B-axis milling, Y-axis capability, optional sub-spindle, and large tool capacity, enabling complete part machining without multiple machines.
For manufacturers producing large, complex, high-value components, a used MULTUS U5000 offers exceptional capability, productivity, and long-term value at a reduced investment.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED OKUMA MULTUS U5000COST?
The cost of a used Okuma MULTUS U5000 varies significantly depending on manufacturing year, configuration, condition, and especially cutting time. As a premium, large-capacity multi-tasking machine, it commands a higher price compared to smaller MULTUS models.
For early-generation machines (2016–2019), prices typically range from $250,000 to $400,000. These machines often have higher cutting hours (12,000–30,000+) and may require refurbishment or component replacement, but they still provide full multi-tasking capability for large and complex parts.
Machines built between 2020 and 2022 generally fall in the $400,000 to $650,000 range. These represent a strong value segment in the used market, often featuring moderate cutting hours (6,000–15,000) and advanced configurations such as sub-spindle or dual turret setups.
For newer machines from 2023 to 2025, prices can range from $650,000 to over $1,000,000 depending on configuration, tooling packages, and automation integration. These machines typically have low cutting hours (under 5,000) and are close to new condition.
Cutting time is the most critical pricing factor—machines with lower spindle hours command premium value regardless of age. Buyers should also evaluate tooling, automation systems, and maintenance records to determine the true overall investment and long-term return.
