2018 Okuma LB3000M CNC Lathe

The Okuma LB3000M is a 2-axis CNC turning center with integrated live tooling capability, built on Okuma's LB platform — one of the most trusted turning center lineages in high-production and precision machining environments. This 2018 unit runs on the OSP-P300 control, Okuma's premier CNC platform featuring intuitive conversational programming and fast processing. The main spindle turns to 4,000 RPM with a 73mm (2.87") bore supporting bar capacity up to 65mm, while the 12-station live-tool turret spins to 6,000 RPM — enabling complete turned and milled features in a single setup. The work envelope supports turning diameters up to 320mm and turning lengths up to 997mm, covering a wide range of shaft and chucked work. This unit ships as confirmed by the seller with a chip conveyor, parts catcher, and bar feed interface already installed. Compared to its predecessors — the Okuma LB3000EX and the earlier LB300M — the LB3000M represents a meaningful step forward in control technology, rigidity, and live tooling performance. The OSP-P300 replaces the OSP-P200L found on the LB3000EX, delivering faster execution speeds, improved network integration, and a modernized operator interface that reduces program setup time on complex parts. Structural improvements to the headstock and machine bed reduced vibration at high RPM, translating to better surface finishes at the same feeds and speeds. Live tooling motor output was also increased over earlier LB configurations, making the LB3000M a meaningfully more capable mill-turn platform — not just a newer version of the same machine — available here at a used price.
