Productivity is born when multiple tasks can be accomplished without interruption. Machining oil tool parts to completion without changing setups means less WIP, better quality, more controlled dimensional relationships and fewer setups with less dependence upon manpower. Okuma’s 9-axis MacTurn brings high-level multi-tasking to your shop floor, enabling significant productivity gains, offering front to back or lathe to milling operations on a single machine.

The ability to move to mill/drill work seamlessly demonstrates the superiority of the Okuma program. Perhaps most important to efficiency and productivity, drilling can be accomplished at any angle without complex fixtures or table on table setups. Processing a rock bit, for example, delivers not only complete turning, but also reduced cycle time. This efficiency is created by simultaneous machining by the left and right spindles. Once the Lathe/Turning is complete, the Mill/Drill work begins.

Machine rigidity, solid part retention and a flawless tool changer remain standard features of every Okuma and this machine is no exception. The MacTurn represents the ultimate in machine tool technology – true nine-axis machining, rapid tool change cycles, easy programming and a flawless machine tool.
