2001 OKUMA LU15MY CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Okuma LU15MY is a CNC turning center in Okuma's LU series, pairing the base LU15 turning platform with live milling capability (M) and Y-axis travel (Y). Independent, corroborating listings of LU15MY and closely related LU-15 machines confirm a maximum turning diameter of 340 mm (13.39 in) and a maximum spindle speed of 4,500 rpm, with the main spindle driven by an approximately 22 kW (29.5 hp) motor. Machines of this generation are documented with Okuma's OSP7000L CNC control, which was Okuma's standard turning-center control platform through the late 1990s and into the early 2000s for machines in this size class; a later-production LU15 unit is instead documented with the upgraded OSP-U100L control, consistent with a mid-life control upgrade on this platform rather than a specification conflict for a 2001 build. The machine uses a dual-turret tool layout with a programmable tailstock, features common across listings for this model. Bar capacity, turning length, overall footprint, shipping weight, and exact turret station counts vary between individually listed units and could not be confirmed to a single, independently corroborated value for this specific unit, and are therefore not reported.
