2019 Okuma LT3000EX CNC Lathe

The 2019 Okuma LT3000EX CNC Lathe is a high-performance multi-axis turning center designed for complex machining in a single setup. Featuring C-axis contouring, Y-axis off-center milling, and live tooling capability, it transforms conventional turning into a complete mill-turn operation. Its 13.77-inch maximum turning diameter and 6-jaw hydraulic chuck handle large workpieces with stability and accuracy. The A2-6 spindle nose drives at speeds up to 5000 RPM, powered by a 40-horsepower motor, while a high-pressure coolant system and automatic chip conveyor ensure continuous cutting in tough alloys. The OSP control architecture integrates both spindles and tooling synchronization for seamless, balanced part production.

Compared with single-turret or standard turning centers, the LT3000EX elevates productivity by merging dual-axis milling with simultaneous machining capability. Its rigid casting, thermal compensation, and high-precision Y-axis deliver enhanced contour accuracy, while the integrated chip management system and intelligent control make it suitable for extended unmanned operation. The LT3000EX’s superior rigidity and live-tool horsepower allow it to outperform typical two-axis lathes, turning intricate components faster and more efficiently.
