OKUMA LB2000 EX II HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The OKUMA LB2000 EX II is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision turning with twin main spindles and a sub spindle, each delivering up to 15 HP and 6,000 RPM. It supports a maximum turning diameter of 16.93 inches and a maximum turning length of 11.81 inches, with a main spindle chuck diameter of 10 inches and a maximum swing of 22.83 inches. The main spindle accommodates a bar diameter up to 2.4 inches, facilitating versatile part dimensions. The machine features a turret tool carrier with up to 12 tool stations for both turning and rotary tools, each rotary tool rated at 7.5 kW with speeds up to 6,000 RPM. The LB2000 EX II operates with 2 axes (X and Z), offering travel distances of 10.24 inches (X-axis) and 15.35 inches (Z-axis), and rapid traverse rates of 984 ipm for both axes, allowing for rapid positioning and efficient machining cycles. The sub spindle also runs at 6,000 RPM with 15 HP, enabling simultaneous front and back face machining without interference. Its integrated motor spindle system eliminates gears or belts, reducing vibration and chatter for stable, high-precision work. This machine is engineered with a rigid slanted-box bed for thermal stability and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy to high-speed cutting applications in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing industries. Overall, the LB2000 EX II combines powerful spindle performance, multi-tool capability, and fast axis movement for efficient, accurate, and flexible turning operations.
