Okuma LB45 comparing to ....... ?

Mar 19, 2005 4 Replies

Hi all, I trying to find out which Lathes are compareable to Okuma LB45.



I'm looking especially for a lathe which gives a torque of a round and about



4200 Nm at +/- 30 m/min. We want to use the Lathe for turning Hastelloy, Inconel etc. on diameters of +/- 500mm.

Check out Mazak for one.

Anthony does Mazak have a 60 horse 4 speed geared head lathe? For some reason I don't think of them for big heavy turning. Just curious if my impression of them is wrong.

Here is one...only 3 speeds though.

FLATBED LATHES-POWERMASTER CHUCKER SPECS Maximum Swing 42" swing over gap Maximum Swing over the Bed 34" Spindle Bore 4.6" Std. (10.2", 12.5", 14.7" Opt.) Max. Spindle Speed 1,200 rpm Standard (750, 500 Opt.) Spindle Nose A1-11, (A2-15 Opt.) Main Spindle Motor 60 HP (30 min. rating) / 40 cont.

We don't insist on a large-footprint.

We did/do consider a VTL but the we need a tailstock, we do a lot of grooving in parts we big diameters small length but generating a lot of pressure when grooving.

Kind regards,
