Okuma America Corporation‘s (Charlotte, NC) MULTUS U Series general purpose multitasking CNC lathes are designed to reduce setup time, improve accuracy and keep non-cutting time to a minimum. The series includes two machine sizes: the MULTUS U3000 and the MULTUS U4000.
The MULTUS U Series lathes are 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 them “Intelligent Multitasking Machines.”
A demonstration of how the MULTUS U Series is a highly accurate, rigid, hi-tech, and process-intensive multitasking machine.
Built with Okuma’s renowned heavy-duty construction, the MULTUS U series CNC lathes provide a robust platform for long-term rigidity and accuracy. They are excellent for machining process-intensive parts – such as those in Aerospace, Oil/Energy, Medical and Construction – and provide a complete multitasking solution. Features include:
- 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 sub-spindle (W-Axis) and optional lower turret – 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 thermo-static design and thermal deformation control technology
- Shorter Setup Time and Prevention of Collisions – The OSP-P300S control reduces keyboard operations by 50 percent 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 chip flow
