1996 OKUMA LU35M CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Okuma LU35-M is a CNC turning center in Okuma's LU series, pairing the base LU35 turning platform with live milling capability (M). Independent, corroborating listings of LU35-M machines from this production era confirm a maximum turning diameter of 550 mm (21.65 in) and a maximum main spindle speed of 3,200 rpm. A later redesign of this platform, marketed as the Okuma Impact LU35-M beginning around 2013, carries a smaller maximum turning diameter and different spindle bore and speed figures, indicating a generational specification change rather than a configuration conflict relative to a 1996-built unit. Okuma's control system for this platform has been documented across more than one generation — including OSP7000L, OSP-P100L, and OSP-P200L — depending on build year and factory options; because the applicable control for a 1996 unit could not be confirmed to a single, non-conflicting value, it is not reported here. Spindle motor power, spindle bore diameter, chuck size, turning length, overall machine dimensions, and shipping weight likewise vary between individually listed units and could not be confirmed to a single, independently corroborated value for this specific machine, and are therefore not included.
