Machine Comparison
EMAG VL 2 vs Okuma 2SP-150H
EMAG vs Okuma · CNC Lathes
Summary
The EMAG VL 2 and the Okuma 2SP-150H are both production lathes for small chucked parts. The Okuma is a two-spindle machine fed by a loader; the EMAG VL 2 has the stronger and faster spindle. Their chucks are close in size, 160 mm against 6 in (150 mm).
The EMAG VL 2 is rated 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) against 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) and reaches 6,000 rpm against 4,500 rpm. Turning length depends on how the Okuma is run: 80 mm (3.15 in) with the loader, below the EMAG's 110 mm, but 150 mm (5.91 in) without it. The Okuma's advantage is two-operation turning on spindles of equal rating in one machine.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | EMAG VL 2 | Okuma 2SP-150H |
|---|---|---|
| Max Turning Length | 110 mm ▲ | 80 mm (3.15 in), 150 mm (5.91 in) without loader |
| Chuck Size | 160 mm (6.5 in) | 6 in (150 mm) |
| Max Spindle Speed | 6,000 rpm ▲ | 50–4,500 rpm |
| Spindle Power | 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) ▲ | 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) |
Advantages
EMAG VL 2
- 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) spindle against 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp)
- 6,000 rpm against 4,500 rpm
- 110 mm turning length against 80 mm (3.15 in) when the Okuma runs with its loader
- Driven tools for parts with drilled or milled features
Okuma 2SP-150H
- Two spindles of equal rating fed by a loader, for two-operation turning in one machine
- 150 mm (5.91 in) turning length without the loader, above the EMAG's 110 mm
Verdict
Choose the EMAG VL 2 where spindle performance decides: 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) and 6,000 rpm suit high-speed turning of small chucked parts, and driven tools add drilled or milled features. Choose the Okuma 2SP-150H when each part needs two turning operations and the loader can feed both spindles, accepting 80 mm (3.15 in) of turning length in that mode. For one operation per part, the EMAG has the stronger figures.
