This Okuma LB 3000 EX is a lathe — a machine tool used to shape metal by rotating a workpiece against a cutting tool, commonly employed in precision component manufacturing across the automotive, aerospace, and general engineering industries. Sometimes referred to as a turning machine or turning centre, it is built by Okuma, a Japanese manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for high-quality CNC machine tools serving industrial and precision machining markets worldwide. This example was produced in 2007 and is located in the Netherlands.
The machine is equipped with Okuma's OSP-P200L CNC control system. It offers a maximum turning diameter of 470 mm and an X-axis travel of 260 mm, with a Z-axis travel of 1,065 mm. The spindle bore measures 80 mm, accommodating a wide range of bar stock and workpiece sizes. The main spindle reaches a maximum speed of 4,200 RPM and is driven by a 30 kW spindle motor, providing substantial power for demanding cutting operations.
Tooling is managed through a 12-station BMT tool system turret, a rigid bolt-on interface known for precise and repeatable tool positioning. Live tooling capability is included, with the driven tools reaching up to 6,000 RPM powered by a 7.1 kW motor. The machine is fitted with two radial live tooling holders and two axial live tooling holders, enabling milling, drilling, and other off-centre operations without repositioning the workpiece. A tool measuring probe is also installed, supporting in-cycle tool length and diameter verification.
Further equipment includes a chip conveyor for continuous swarf removal during production, and an SMW 315 three-jaw chuck. Spindle hours are recorded at 6,960, with total machine running hours logged at 6,270.
