In high performance motorsport competition if you lose control, you lose the race. That is the stark reality for producing high performance pistons. Extreme dimensional control has to be achieved with in-your-face surface finishes. Everyone in the racing world knows high performance pistons have to stand for quality, reliability, and durability, a combination that will never lose a race for them, and it has to be certain “right out of the box”.

Escalating standards for manufacturing is the only offset to the ever-increasing user requirements for better performance. Realistically, those requirements cannot be met with ordinary machine tools. Okuma’s LU300 V8 CAM can take any machine shop to a new level of productivity and precision.

The LU300 is known for its thermally stable platform integrated with precise 4-axis turning, grooving, and chamfering. Each tool position does its work perfectly – delivering precision machining with doubledigit production gains over other machines.
