Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Okuma. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Okuma MULTUS U3000 is a multitasking lathe that pairs two turning spindles with a tilting universal spindle. On the listed figures it turns up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter over 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of length, with 9 controlled axes under the Okuma OSP-P300S control.

Both turning spindles are listed at 20 – 3,300 rpm, and the main spindle motor at 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP). With a 315 mm chuck and a 3,300 rpm ceiling this is a machine for shafts and medium chucking parts, not for small bar work that needs more revolutions to reach its surface speed. Because the sub-spindle covers the same speed range, the second side of a part can be cut under the same conditions as the first.

The universal spindle, the tilting head that carries the milling tools, runs 20 – 10,000 rpm on a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor. That is the same listed rating as the main spindle, so milling is not a light-duty extra here. The head tilts on a B-axis from –30° to +210° and travels ±150 mm in Y. The Y stroke sets how far off centre a flat, keyway or bolt circle can be machined without turning the part; anything further than 150 mm from the centreline is outside it.

Rapid traverse is listed as 30 / 30 / 40 m/min in X, Y and Z. The machine weighs approx. 24,000 kg (52,900 lb), so floor loading and rigging belong on the checklist before delivery. The table states no tool magazine capacity or bar capacity; confirm those, and the figures above, against the build sheet of the machine you are quoted.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Universal spindle listed at 20 – 10,000 rpm on a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor, the same listed rating as the main spindle
Main and sub-spindle share one listed speed range, 20 – 3,300 rpm, so both ends of a part are cut under the same conditions
B-axis range of –30° to +210° for angled drilling and milling toward either turning spindle
Listed turning length of 1,500 mm (59.1 in) with a 650 mm (25.6 in) turning diameter
±150 mm of Y travel for off-centre features

Limitations

Turning spindles are listed to 3,300 rpm, which holds back surface speed on small diameters
Y travel is ±150 mm; features further from the centreline are outside the stroke
Approx. 24,000 kg (52,900 lb) of machine weight calls for a floor and rigging check before delivery
The listed table states no tool magazine capacity or bar capacity; both have to be confirmed for the machine quoted

Best For

Shaft parts up to the listed 1,500 mm (59.1 in) turning length Parts that combine turning with angled milling in one clamping Two-sided parts handed over to the 20 – 3,300 rpm sub-spindle Off-centre drilling and milling within ±150 mm of Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle speeds are listed for the MULTUS U3000?

The main spindle and the sub-spindle are both listed at 20 – 3,300 rpm, and the universal spindle at 20 – 10,000 rpm. The main spindle motor and the universal spindle motor carry the same listed rating, 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP).

02 How far does the universal spindle tilt and travel in Y?

The B-axis range is listed as –30° to +210° and Y travel as ±150 mm. The wide B range lets the universal spindle point at work in either turning spindle, and the Y stroke covers off-centre features up to 150 mm either side of the centreline.

03 Which control does the MULTUS U3000 run?

The listed control is the Okuma OSP-P300S, and the table counts 9 controlled axes. On an existing installation, read the control generation off the machine itself, since the listed figures describe one configuration.

04 How heavy is the MULTUS U3000 and how fast are its axes?

Machine weight is listed as approx. 24,000 kg (52,900 lb). Rapid traverse is listed as 30 / 30 / 40 m/min in X, Y and Z. Plan the foundation, crane or rigging access and floor loading around that weight before delivery.
