OKUMA LB2500 EX CNC LATHE

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe machine featuring dual linear axes (X and Z) for precise turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The X-axis controls radial movement for diameter adjustment, while the Z-axis manages axial movement along the workpiece length, making it suitable for producing simple to moderately complex symmetrical components. Powered by a robust 22.4 kW motor, the machine delivers a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various workpiece materials and hardness levels. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 16.14 inches in turning diameter with a swing capacity of 22.83 inches over the bed, providing versatility for mid-sized components. The machining length of 5.91 inches allows for precise length control during turning operations. Equipped with a tailstock, the machine provides additional support and stability for longer workpieces, enhancing accuracy and reducing deflection during cutting. The system utilizes full CNC control with servo motor-driven precision ball screws on both axes, ensuring high repeatability and positioning accuracy. The machine's substantial weight of 6,600 pounds contributes to rigid construction, minimizing vibration and thermal distortion for consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy. This configuration makes the machine ideal for small to medium-volume production runs requiring reliable precision in turning operations, suitable for applications in automotive, medical, and general industrial manufacturing where consistent quality is essential.
