OKUMA LB45III HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The OKUMA LB45III is a single-spindle horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning applications with high precision and power. It supports a maximum turning diameter of 25.980 inches and a maximum turning length of 29.530 inches, facilitated by an 18-inch diameter main spindle chuck. The main spindle operates at speeds up to 2,800 RPM, delivering 50 horsepower for robust machining performance. The machine features a single simultaneous cutting tool and offers rapid traverse rates of 591 inches per minute on the X, Y, and Z axes, ensuring fast tool movements and reduced cycle times. This horizontal machining center combines a rigid structure with powerful ball screw-driven slideway movements for stable, accurate cutting, suitable for large-diameter and long-part machining. Its construction optimizes torque and finishes quality, with enhanced service life due to low rotational speeds at higher torques. The LB45III also offers optional multitasking capabilities, including milling, drilling, and tapping functions, enhancing versatility for complex part manufacturing. It is designed with a solid base casting and long bed configurations capable of accommodating large workpieces typical in industries such as oil, agriculture, and heavy engineering. The machine is compatible with advanced automation solutions to boost production efficiency and accuracy, making it suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring reliable and precise horizontal turning operations.
