2018 Okuma LB-45 CNC Lathe

The 2018 Okuma LB-45 is a premium two-axis horizontal CNC lathe designed to handle large-diameter and long-part machining operations with uncompromising rigidity and control. It features a formidable swing over bed of 33.46", a maximum turning diameter of 25.98", and a massive maximum turning length of 78.74". The A2-11 spindle nose houses a robust 60/50 horsepower drive motor and spins up to 2,800 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty turning applications in alloy steels, forgings, and castings. The spindle bore of 7.28" supports bar work up to 4.5" in diameter, paired with a heavy Kitagawa 18" hydraulic chuck.

Axis travels include 13.58" in X and 80.31" in Z, supporting long shafts and large flanges with ease. The turret is a 12-station BMT-style V12 configuration, offering tool rigidity for hard turning. A live hydraulic MT#5 tailstock with quill action enables support for long parts without deflection. The control system is Okuma’s intuitive and powerful OSP-P300L, offering unmatched conversational and G-code versatility. All of this is anchored on a 20,944-pound cast-iron base for vibration damping and thermal stability. This unit does not include a steady rest, but is otherwise a full-capacity heavy turning solution.
