LU7000EX M
2 Saddle CNC Lathe
Work Envelope
The Okuma LU7000EX M has a generous work envelope, with a swing over the bed that is among
the best in its class. This provides the flexibility to handle a wide range of workpieces.
Bed
The 45 degree bed is Integral box-type construction of the Z-axis and
Tailstock guideways. All bed way surfaces are induction-hardened on a
specially designed Okuma hardening machine to 56 Rockwell “C” scale.
The 26.57” distance across large rectangular ways provides optimum
support for the carriage and cross slide.
Okuma Box Way technology
• This is a must to sustain the rigors of turning.
• Integral Ball Screw bracket construction
• Hand scrapped for final assembly
• Surfaces machined as one with guideways
Base
The heavily ribbed base casting provides mounting support for the Bed and all the machine sub-systems.
The combined assembly counteracts cutting loads and deflection. This is the key to the machine’s stability
and repeatable accuracy.
• Base is machined mounted on designed foundation pad location
• Five face machining completes all critical relationships in one machine
• Hand scraped headstock mounting surfaces in final assembly
• Casting configured for separate coolant tank. The isolation of coolant and chips provides thermal
stability of the headstock and base.

CONSTRUCTION
Headstock and Spindle
Rigidity, accuracy and part finish
The Okuma LU7000EX M cast iron headstock houses the spindle and is designed to easily handle
the maximum drive capacity. In order to provide the best power and torque configurations the
LU7000EX is offered in a total of 9 different spindle configurations.
The LU7000EX M has a base mounted VAC electric spindle drive system that employs either an auto
shift four gear design to produce large torque values in all ranges for the B08 spindle and two speed
VAC motor for the B12 spindle.
The headstock is hand scraped to the bed mounting base.
The Headstock has a discrete lubrication system with filtration, cooling and interlocks for monitoring
correct operation and low reservoir condition.
The spindle is supported by three sets of double row cylindrical roller bearings and high-speed dual
angular contact ball bearings. A three-point bearing support provides the rigidity and long life for this
very accurate spindle.

Tailstock
High rigidity “live” quill spindle
The hydraulic tailstock has a quill diameter of
7.09 in and a stroke of 13.78 in. The live quill
spindle with MT#6 taper, offers extreme rigidity
as well as high load capacity.
The quill can be actuated under part program
command or by the foot pedals.
The maximum thrust is 5,845 lbf.
Maximum weight between centers is 5,720 lbs.
(including chuck weight).
Manual positioning of the tailstock body is by a
pulse handle tow-along system.
To move the tailstock: Loosen the tailstock
bed-clamping bolts; align the upper saddle
receiver with the tailstock mounted shot pin;
engage shot pin; reposition the tailstock using
the pulse wheel action of the upper saddle.

These accuracy guarantees are based on the procedures below. Geometry and Rigidity
Thermo-Friendly Concept
Okuma’s Thermo-Friendly is a
structurally designed, thermal
deformation control system that
provides astonishing machining
accuracy. It frees the machinist from
troublesome offsets and machine
warm-ups, is superb for long runs,
multi-tasking, front/back end work,
plus applications.
Machine Hydraulics
Self-contained Hydraulic unit is enclosed by sheet
metal of the machine minimizing pump dB. The main
unit and important sub-systems are interlocked with
the CNC to provide safe operation. Controls for
chuck, and tailstock are provided at the front of the
machine for ease of operation.
SAFETY
Safety Features
The LU7000EX M is equipped with a variety of safety devices to prevent accidents and injuries.
However, it is strongly advised that operators use the machine carefully and not rely solely on these
devices. Complete safety precautions are found in the operation manual.
• Emergency-stop push-button, slide hold push button, and alarm indicator on op panel.
• Fluid levels are interlocked
• Full enclosure guarding with door interlock for complete chip and coolant containment.
• Safety window allows clear viewing with security.
• Operators sliding door with interlock and excellent work area lighting
• Set-Up Interlocks reduce automatic speeds.
• Thorough warning and alert signage on the machine tool.
• Thorough documentation of safe operation and maintenance.
• Safety documentation included in every manual
