Okuma has unveiled the LB-2000 EX, an advanced addition to its SPACETURN LB EX II series. Designed as a flagship two-axis turning platform, this new model emphasizes accuracy, thermal stability, and configuration flexibility, making it a compelling choice for manufacturers seeking reliable performance.

The LB-2000 EX is engineered with a robust thermal management system, ensuring that dimensional changes in the machine remain controlled within Ø5 µm. This remarkable stability means manufacturers can significantly reduce the need for offset adjustments, allowing for consistent production outputs even as ambient conditions vary.

In terms of performance, this turning platform boasts impressive axis dynamics. It features rapid traverse rates of 25 meters per minute in the X-axis and 30 meters per minute in the Z-axis. Such efficiency translates to shorter cycle times and enhanced operational throughput, making it a versatile solution for a wide array of turning operations.

The machine’s design supports a broad option structure, allowing custom configurations to meet specific manufacturing needs. Ranging from standard two-axis tasks to more complex turning applications, the LB-2000 EX provides extended capabilities for precise and efficient machining.

Manufacturers looking for a durable and accurate turning platform that delivers consistent results will find the LB-2000 EX an attractive option. For more details on this innovative machine, prospects can contact NCMT Ltd, the UK representative for Okuma products.
