Pic: The Okuma Multus U2000 will be one of Okuma's machine portfolio at AMB in SeptemberOkuma will highlight its latest advances in CNC machining and automation at AMB 2026 in Stuttgart, presenting a line-up of high-performance machine tools designed to reduce complexity while improving precision and productivity.
Exhibiting in Hall 10, Booth E71 from 15 - 19 September, the company – whose machines area available from
NCMT in Coventry in the UK– will demonstrate five machines under the theme “Where metal comes alive”, with a focus on integrated, turnkey solutions that combine machining centres with automation technologies.
Among the highlights is the new Multus U2000 multitasking machine, which offers a large working area within a compact footprint. Designed as an all-in-one solution, it supports complex 5-axis machining and two-saddle simultaneous turning. Okuma’s Turn-Cut technology enables turning outside the rotation axis, while Y-axis and B-axis capabilities deliver stable cutting conditions. The model also incorporates a suite of intelligent technologies, including the Thermo-Friendly Concept for thermal stabilisation, a Collision Avoidance System, and Machining Navi to optimise cutting parameters and minimise vibration.
Also on show will be the Genos M460V-5AX, a compact five-axis machining centre suited to high-precision simultaneous machining of components up to 600 x 400mm. With a feed rate of 32 m/min and a spindle speed of 15,000 rev/min, the machine combines speed with accuracy, supported by a rigid double-column structure and trunnion table. At AMB, it will be paired with Okuma’s UL-100 automated pallet handling system, which accommodates up to eight zero-point pallets and supports both automated and manual operation.
In the field of turning, Okuma will present the LB3000 EX III horizontal lathe equipped with its integrated Armroid robot arm. The machine, known for its versatility in single-part and small to medium batch production, features a twelve-position turret and a slant-bed design for stability. The Armroid system enables automated loading and unloading without the need for complex robot programming, simplifying set-up and operation.
For higher-volume production, the LU4000 EX two-saddle CNC lathe will be demonstrated performing simultaneous 4-axis machining. Designed for the efficient production of cylindrical parts, it supports single-setup machining of complex components when equipped with Y-axis functionality, driven tools and a sub-spindle. The platform can be integrated with robots, gantry loaders or bar feeders to enable automated series production.
Completing the line-up is the MA-4000H horizontal machining centre, which is aimed at heavy-duty applications and high-demand environments. Despite its compact footprint, it offers a large working area and a 400 x 400mm table. A standard two-station pallet changer allows for extended unmanned operation, while options for flexible manufacturing systems and robotic integration enable fully autonomous production.
Okuma will also use the exhibition to introduce its new 3D-Direct programming solution for the European market. The system allows users to programme machining operations directly on the OSP control using 3D data, with STEP files imported via touchscreen. Tool data is automatically retrieved and suitable machining strategies suggested, significantly reducing programming time, even for complex geometries.
