New 2-saddle CNC lathe

Okuma’s new 2-saddle CNC lathe, the LU7000 EX is a large smart machine that was thoroughly designed for applications with large work envelopes, powerful cutting capacity, and process-intensive machining to achieve best-in-class productivity of hard-to-cut parts.

According to the company, the powerful machining capacity is the best in class. The turning capacity is 10mm2. Easily (efficiently) cuts oil-well pipes in one pass (chaser threading). The powerful milling spindle enables process-intensive machining of large difficult-to-cut parts. The end milling capacity is 120cm3/min. Maximum working diameter is 900 mm (1.4 times more than previous machine). The 200mm long Y-axis travel is the best in class. The high-efficiency simultaneous turning with upper and lower turrets achieves minimum cycle times.

Okuma offers innovative productivity improvement for the heavy industries that have large, difficult-to-cut components.
