Okuma America is debuting the new 2SP-2500H lathe. Designed with high-speed loading to reduce cycle time, this lathe combines two spindles on one machine for increased production of mass-produced parts. At IMTS 2018, the 2SP-2500H will be cutting a bearing race for the automotive industry.

A high-speed overhead gantry loader is standard with this machine tool and enables long, unattended production runs. The machine’s unique design also gives the operator easier access to tools by a modification to the turret orientation. In addition, workpiece transport and changeover times are significantly reduced, resulting in cycle time reductions of up to 17 percent. This feature is available in a variety of configurations based on part size and weight.

Key features of Okuma’s 2SP-2500H include:

  • Integral motor/spindle drive enables faster acceleration and deceleration
  • An improved turret and high-speed loader reduces cycle times. Workpiece loading and unloading is achieved in four seconds—the fastest in its class
  • Thermo-Friendly Concept is standard and minimizes ambient temperature fluctuations when machining
  • Split-bed construction inhibits the transmission of vibration during cutting
  • Headstock and turret centers are positioned over sturdy slide guides for rigidity and strength
  • The Okuma OSP or FANUC control are both available
  • Optional features include washing stations, post-process gaging, and infeed/outfeed tables for unprocessed and finished workpieces

The 2SP-2500H reduces cycle time and delivers superior performance through twin spindles and a high-speed loader. This machine’s combination of power, capacity, and speed delivers increased production of mass produced parts a in a compact footprint.
