2019 Okuma LT2000EX CNC Turning Center

The 2019 Okuma LT2000EX is a twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC turning center designed for high-production environments where done-in-one machining and minimized cycle times are essential. This 2T2M configuration provides two independent turrets with 16 tool stations each — 32 total — enabling simultaneous cutting operations on the main and sub-spindle for dramatic cycle time reductions. The main spindle features an upgraded 22 HP motor spinning at 6,000 RPM with a big bore A2 nose, expanding the range of bar stock and workpiece geometries this machine can handle beyond the standard configuration. An auto touchsetter streamlines tool measurement and offset setting, while the bar feed interface means the machine is wired and ready for automated bar feeding with no additional retrofit work required. Built on Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept construction, the LT2000EX maintains dimensional accuracy across long production runs by actively compensating for thermal displacement in the spindles, structure, and ballscrews. The LT2000EX represents a significant evolution over the earlier Okuma LT2000, which established the platform's reputation for rigidity and reliability in the twin-spindle turning segment. Where the original LT2000 used a more conventional box-way construction with limited thermal compensation, the EX generation introduced Okuma's enhanced Thermo-Friendly Concept for superior positional accuracy over extended runs. The EX platform also brought improved servo systems for faster rapid traverse and more precise contouring, a stiffer turret design for heavier cuts, and compatibility with Okuma's OSP control platform featuring advanced conversational programming. This particular unit's big bore A2 configuration and 22 HP upgrade further extend its capability beyond the standard EX offering, making it well-suited for shops running larger-diameter bar work or chucking applications that demand both power and bore clearance.
