Okuma LB3000 EX II CNC lathe available from NCMT

Okuma has added a model with a 1,300 mm distance between centres to its LB3000 EX II Space Turn series of CNC lathes. Available in the UK from NCMT, the machine provides for 5 micron dimensional accuracy on diameter over an 8 °C change in room temperature.

Among its principal features, the LB3000 EX II is equipped with an NC-controlled follower rest. This self-travelling unit is able to move with the cutting position, thus enabling the machine to turn very long components.

Target markets are expected to include energy, construction and agriculture.
