Overview

The Okuma LT2000 EX is a horizontal turning center with left and right spindles for small chucked parts: 210 mm (8.27 in) maximum turning diameter, 130 mm (5.12 in) maximum turning length and an 8 in chuck. Read the turning length first. This is a machine for short parts such as hubs and fittings that are handed from one spindle to the other, not for shafts.

The table gives it real milling capability. Driven tools run at 6,000 rpm on a BMT interface, the Y axis rapids at 15 m/min (591 ipm) and the C axis is listed at 200 rpm. X/Z rapid traverse is 30/40 m/min (1,181/1,575 ipm), which counts on parts this short, where non-cutting moves are a large share of the cycle.

Spindle speed is listed as 50 to 6,000 rpm, with a 50 to 5,000 rpm alternative marked for the left spindle only. The standard nose is 140 flat and A2-6 is the option. The sub-spindle is rated 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp), and a 22/15 kW (30/20 hp) motor is listed as an option for both the left and right spindles. The LT3000 EX is the next size up, with a 13.77 in maximum turning diameter.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Driven tools at 6,000 rpm on a BMT interface, with Y-axis and C-axis motion listed
X/Z rapid traverse of 30/40 m/min (1,181/1,575 ipm) keeps non-cutting time short on small parts
Optional 22/15 kW (30/20 hp) motor listed for both the left and right spindles
Spindle speed range of 50 to 6,000 rpm suits small-diameter work

Limitations

Maximum turning length is 130 mm (5.12 in), so shaft-type parts are out
Turning diameter stops at 210 mm (8.27 in); the LT3000 EX goes to 13.77 in
The 22/15 kW motor and the A2-6 nose are options, not the base specification
Y-axis rapid is 15 m/min (591 ipm), well below the 30/40 m/min of X/Z

Best For

Small chucked parts up to 210 mm (8.27 in) in diameter and 130 mm (5.12 in) long Both-sides machining with a transfer between the left and right spindles Turned parts with milled or drilled features, using 6,000 rpm driven tools and the Y axis Short-cycle production where 30/40 m/min X/Z rapids matter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the LT2000 EX have live tooling and a Y axis?

Yes, both appear in Okuma's table. Driven tools run at 6,000 rpm on a BMT interface. The Y axis is listed with a 15 m/min (591 ipm) rapid and the C axis at 200 rpm, alongside X/Z rapids of 30/40 m/min (1,181/1,575 ipm). The table does not give the Y-axis travel, so check it against your off-centre features.

02 What size parts fit the LT2000 EX?

Maximum turning diameter is 210 mm (8.27 in) and maximum turning length is 130 mm (5.12 in), with an 8 in chuck. Those figures suit short chucked parts. For larger diameters the LT3000 EX lists a 13.77 in maximum turning diameter.

03 What spindle options are listed for the LT2000 EX?

The standard spindle nose is 140 flat, with A2-6 as the option. Speed is 50 to 6,000 rpm, and a 50 to 5,000 rpm range is listed for the left spindle only. A 22/15 kW (30/20 hp) motor is the listed option on both spindles; the sub-spindle's standard rating is 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp).

04 How does the LT2000 EX compare with the LT3000 EX?

The LT2000 EX is the smaller and faster machine. It has a 210 mm (8.27 in) maximum turning diameter against 13.77 in on the LT3000 EX, and its spindle range reaches 6,000 rpm against 5,000 rpm on the LT3000 EX. Its standard nose is 140 flat with A2-6 optional, where the LT3000 EX starts at A2-6 with A2-8 optional.
