Designed as an update to its V60R model, Okuma’s V760EX vertical lathe features a larger work envelope in the same footprint, accommodating larger workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 760 mm. The lathe provides stable, high-precision cutting within a small footprint and is well-suited for machining thin and odd-shaped workpieces, and applications in the gas and aerospace industries.
The vertical lathe offers speeds ranging from 20 to 2,000 rpm and power of 30 kW (40 hp) for 30 min. and 22 kW (30 hp) continuous. Rapid traverse rates are 24 m/min. (945 ipm) in the X and Z axes. The lathe features a boxway system and solid base and column for a dependable, rigid structure. The headstock’s flange construction includes precision hand-scraped mounting surfaces to minimize the effects of thermal deformation and vibration for stable, accurate cutting. According to the company, the machine offers an ergonomic design with easy access to the chuck and front-skirt operation panel.
