Multitasking CNC Lathe Improves Accuracy, Efficiency



Okuma's MULTUS U3000 is a general purpose, multitasking 2-saddle CNC lathe designed to reduce set-up time, improve accuracy and keep non-cutting time to a minimum. Built with Okuma's heavy-duty construction, the MULTUS U3000 provides a sturdy platform for long-term rigidity and accuracy. It is designed for machining process-intensive parts, such as those in aerospace, automotive, oil/energy, medical and construction.

The MULTUS U3000 has a maximum machining diameter of 25.6" and bed length of 39.4". "This CNC lathe is equipped with a comprehensive package of Okuma's Intelligent Technologies (Thermo-Friendly Concept, Collision Avoidance System and Machining Navi), and a variety of efficiency features that make it an intelligent multitasking machine," said an Okuma spokesperson.

Optional 5-axis machining is available for complex milling operations. The newest version of this machine comes equipped with the OSP-P300 control with a 19" monitor and the new OSP suite and ECO suite applications.

The complete multitasking solution includes:

  • Flexible CNC machining from all directions-A rigid traveling column allows for powerful cutting along the entire Y-axis
  • Extended specs for a variety of applications-17 diverse variations in specs, including multiple bed lengths, optional W sub-spindle and optional lower turret, are available to provide a specific solution that matches application requirements
  • Maximum milling or turning performance-For efficient cutting of difficult-to-machine materials and a wide variety of CNC machining applications
  • Thermo-friendly concept-Provides long, stable machining accuracy with structural design and thermal deformation control technology
  • Shorter set-up time and prevention of collisions-The OSP-P300S control reduces keyboard operations by 50% and maximizes uptime with its collision avoidance system
  • Machining navi (optional)-Maximizes tool performance by choosing the optimal speed(s) at which the machine can avoid chatter
  • Operator-friendly design-Easy tool loading from the machine front, improved spindle access for faster set-up times and smooth chip discharge for better flows.
