CHICAGO, Sept. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The leadership team at Okuma
America Corporation is pleased to announce the expansion of its CNC
machining lathe product line with the addition of the Okuma LB4000
EX III horizontal lathe! This new machine is one of the newest
products within Okuma's flagship LB EX family of lathes and it will

Machine at a Glance
Built with a proprietary box slant
bed construction, a 10-inch chuck, and a high-torque spindle, this
power-packed lathe turns high-performance machining of larger parts
into profit. Additionally, when paired with optional MYW (milling,
y-axis, and sub-spindle) features, this lathe offers more
manufacturing productivity with less machine set-ups. Notably, it
is the only Okuma lathe in its size class to offer a sub-spindle
option.

The LB4000 EX III is also
equipped with Okuma's new OSP-P500 control, a next-generation
open-architecture control designed exclusively for Okuma machines.
This next-generation control enables numerous market-leading
intelligent machining technologies, including:
- Windows®-based, open-architecture platform for easy integration
to applications on the Okuma App Store and beyond
- Greater processing power with dual-core computer
processors
- Embedded, robust cyber-security features to protect operations
and data
- On-board energy management and green machining capabilities
with Okuma's proprietary Thermo-Friendly Concept & ECO suite
plus functionality
- Full-color touchscreen in two sizes: 15" screen or 21.5"
screen, based on machine model
- Combination of user-friendly hard and soft keys; QWERTY
keyboard
- Space-saving, modern design with ergonomic tilt and swivel
capabilities; pulse handle options also available
Global Debut
The Okuma LB4000 EX III will make its
global debut in the Okuma booth at the 2024 International
Manufacturing Technology Show and will be showcased with the MYW
optional features. The company's team of experts will demonstrate
