OKUMA LU7000 EX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Okuma LU7000 EX Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations on large workpieces. It features a robust main spindle capable of handling turning diameters up to 35.43 inches (Ø900 mm) and turning lengths up to 78.74 inches (2000 mm). The spindle operates at speeds up to 1,500 RPM and delivers 100 HP, enabling stable, powerful cutting performance. The machine supports simultaneous use of two cutting tools to enhance machining efficiency. Its rapid traverse rates are 6 inches per minute on the X, Y, and Z axes, facilitating quick positioning and reduced cycle times. The LU7000 EX is built with a large two-meter bed and incorporates innovative thermal compensation technology (Thermo-Friendly Concept) to maintain high accuracy despite temperature variations during machining. It includes advanced chip removal with ceiling and front door shower coolant systems to maintain clean operation and visibility. This machining center is optimized for precision threading with minimal chatter and supports versatile CNC turning tasks, providing productivity and excellent dimensional accuracy for demanding manufacturing environments.
