The LU Series of 2-saddle (2-turret) lathes provides consistently high accuracy and powerful machining. With simultaneous 4-axis cutting you achieve outstanding efficiency and dramatically reduced cycle times (compared to 2-axis lathes). The LU45 II CNC turning center is the latest evolution of Okuma's large 4-axis turning centers. Two turrets offer dramatic improvements in process flexibility and cycle time when compared to two axis machines. The LU35 II has 22 tool stations, 2 independent saddles, four power ranges, large hardened box guide ways, a live quill tailstock and the Okuma's OSP CNC control system for ease of use. The optional M (milling) function incorporates mill/drill functions in the upper turret, incorporating secondary machining in one workholding for maximum accuracy and efficiency.
