Okuma’s MULTUS U3000 Multitasking CNC Lathe Improves Accuracy, Keeping Non-Cutting Time to a Minimum
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 13, 2018) – The MULTUS U3000 is a general purpose, multitasking 2-saddle CNC lathe designed to reduce setup time, improve accuracy and keep non-cutting time to a minimum. Built with Okuma’s renowned heavy-duty construction, the MULTUS U3000 provides a sturdy platform for long-term rigidity and accuracy. It’s excellent for machining process-intensive parts, such as those in Aerospace, Automotive, Oil/Energy, Medical and Construction.
“Intelligent Multitasking Machine” Provides a Complete Package
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 which make it an “Intelligent Multitasking Machine.” 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 highly 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 highly-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 setup 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 setup times, and smooth chip discharge for better flows
