OKUMA LB3000EXII CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a precision multi-axis CNC lathe designed for complex manufacturing operations. The machine features a 4-axis capability with X, Y, and Z linear axes providing 10.24", 4.53", and 39.76" of travel respectively, complemented by a W-axis offering 35.24" of travel for enhanced workpiece handling. The C-axis provides full 360-degree rotational capability with 0.001-degree increment precision for intricate angular positioning. The swing over bed measures 22.83", with a maximum swing over cross slide of 18.5", enabling a maximum turning diameter of 13.39". The distance between centers of 31.72" accommodates moderately long workpieces for extended turning operations. The primary spindle delivers variable speeds from 45 to 4,500 RPM with a robust 40 HP motor, suitable for heavy-duty material removal on large-diameter components. The through-hole spindle measures 3.15" in diameter. A secondary sub-spindle operates independently at 45-6,000 RPM with 15 HP power, enabling simultaneous operations and reducing overall cycle time. Live tooling and milling capabilities operate at 45-6,000 RPM, allowing multi-faceted manufacturing including turning, milling, drilling, and engraving in a single setup without workpiece repositioning. The 12-position turret capacity accommodates a diverse array of cutting tools and live tooling inserts. This configuration delivers high precision and repeatability suitable for aerospace, medical device, and automotive component manufacturing requiring tight tolerances and complex geometries.
