OKUMA LU-15 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features a robust 4-axis configuration powered by a 30 HP spindle motor with a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM. It offers a substantial swing over bed of 20.87 inches and a swing over carriage of 14.96 inches, with a maximum turning length of 23.62 inches and a maximum turning diameter of 14.17 inches, supporting versatile machining of medium-sized parts. The X-axis travel is divided into upper and lower turret movements of 10.24 inches and 5.51 inches respectively, while the Z-axis travel provides 25.20 inches for the upper and 24.21 inches for the lower turret, allowing complex multi-axis machining. The spindle bore diameter is 2.44 inches, facilitating large bar stock machining. The upper turret can accommodate 12 tools, and the lower turret supports 8, enhancing multi-tool operations without frequent changeovers. Rapid traverse rates are high, rated at 591 IPM for the X axis and 787 IPM for the Z axis, ensuring efficient tool positioning and reduced cycle times. Electrically, the machine operates on 230V 3-phase power. Control is managed through the Okuma OSP-U100L CNC system, known for its user-friendly interface and reliable performance in diverse turning applications. The overall design balances power, precision, and tool capacity, making it suitable for high-productivity and complex turning tasks across various industries.
