Multitasking CNC Lathes



Okuma has announced its new MULTUS U Series general-purpose multitasking CNC lathes, which are designed to reduce set-up time, improve accuracy and keep non-cutting time to a minimum. The series includes two machine sizes: the MULTUS U3000 and the MULTUS U4000. The MULTUS U Series lathes are 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.

"Built with heavy-duty construction, the MULTUS U series CNC lathes provide a robust platform for long-term rigidity and accuracy," said a company spokesperson. "They are excellent for machining process-intensive parts - such as those in aerospace, oil/energy, medical and construction - and provide a complete multitasking solution."

According to the company, features include:

  • 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 sub-spindle (W-axis) and optional lower turret - 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 thermo-static design and thermal deformation control technology
  • Shorter set-up time and prevention of collisions - The OSP-P300S control is intended to reduce keyboard operations by 50% and maximize 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 chip flow.
