Technical Description

The OKUMA LOC500 Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for high-precision, heavy-duty turning operations, especially suited for the oil and energy industries. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 25.980" and a maximum turning length of 78.740", accommodating large-diameter pipes and long workpieces. The machine is equipped with a single main spindle, capable of reaching up to 2,000 RPM and delivering 74 HP, with an optional configuration providing 60 HP at 1,500 RPM for optimized performance. The LOC500 includes a 12-position upper turret and a 10-position lower turret, supporting up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools on the upper turret, and 10 turning and 10 rotary tools on the lower turret, enabling versatile multitasking. Two tools can cut simultaneously, enhancing productivity. The machine operates on a 4-axis system, with X-axis travel of 17.320", Y-axis travel not specified, and Z-axis travel of 82.280". Feed rates and rapid traverse speeds for X, Y, and Z axes reach up to 394 ipm and 591 ipm, respectively, ensuring fast and efficient machining cycles. The LOC500 integrates Okuma’s advanced Oil Field “Threading Suite,” combining variable speed threading and harmonic spindle control for precise, repeatable threading on large pipes. Designed for automation compatibility, the LOC500 delivers robust performance, accuracy, and reliability for demanding industrial applications.
