Okuma America Corporation Expands Horizontal Lathe Line



Okuma America Corporation has announced the expansion of its CNC machining lathe product line with the addition of the Okuma LB4000 EX III horizontal lathe. This machine is one of the newest products within Okuma's flagship LB EX family of lathes.

Built with a proprietary box slant bed construction, a 10" chuck and a high-torque spindle, this lathe offers high-performance machining of larger parts. Additionally, when paired with optional MYW (milling, Y-axis and sub-spindle) features, this lathe offers more manufacturing productivity with less machine set-ups. Notably, it is the only Okuma lathe in its size class to offer a sub-spindle option.

The LB4000 EX III is also equipped with Okuma's new OSP-P500 control, a next-generation open-architecture control designed exclusively for Okuma machines. This control enables numerous intelligent machining technologies, including:

  • Windows-based open-architecture platform for easy integration to applications on the Okuma App Store and beyond
  • Greater processing power with dual-core computer processors
  • Embedded cyber-security features to protect operations and data
  • On-board energy management and green machining capabilities with Okuma's proprietary Thermo-Friendly Concept and ECO suite plus functionality
  • Full-color touchscreen in two sizes: 15" screen or 21.5" screen, based on machine model
  • Combination of user-friendly hard and soft keys; QWERTY keyboard
  • Space-saving, modern design with ergonomic tilt and swivel capabilities; pulse handle options also available.

Key specifications of the Okuma LB4000 EX III horizontal lathe:

  • Max. turning diameter: 18.90"
  • Max. turning length: 84.65"
  • Standard power: 40/30 HP
  • Spindle nose type: JIS A2-8
  • Rapid traverse X-Z: 984/1,181 IPM
  • Speed range: 42~4,200 RPM.
