Okuma will highlight its latest machine tools, automation technologies and new 3D programming capabilities when it exhibits at
AMB 2026 in Stuttgart this September.
Taking place from 15 to 19 September, AMB 2026 will provide the stage for the CNC machine tool manufacturer to demonstrate how manufacturers can increase productivity, precision and efficiency through integrated machining and automation solutions.
Under the theme “Where metal comes alive”, visitors to Hall 10, Stand E71 will be able to see five high-performance machine tools alongside a range of advanced automation technologies.
Okuma – whose machines are available in the UK from
NCMT in Coventry – says its exhibition will focus on reducing production complexity while improving machining accuracy and flexibility, reflecting the growing demand for turnkey manufacturing solutions capable of addressing labour shortages, productivity pressures and increasingly complex components.
A key attraction on the stand will be the MULTUS U2000 multitasking machine, which makes its AMB debut. Designed as an all-in-one machining solution, the machine combines a compact footprint with a generous working area and is capable of complex 5-axis machining operations. The new model can also perform two-saddle simultaneous turning, expanding its machining versatility.
Among its advanced capabilities are Okuma’s Turn-Cut technology, which enables turning outside the rotation axis, together with Y-axis and B-axis turning functions that deliver improved cutting stability. The machine is further enhanced by a suite of intelligent technologies, including the Thermo-Friendly Concept for compensating temperature fluctuations, the Collision Avoidance System and Machining Navi, which automatically selects spindle speeds to reduce vibration and improve machining accuracy.
Also on display will be the GENOS M460V-5AX 5-axis machining centre, designed for high-precision simultaneous machining of components up to 600 x 400mm. Equipped with a 48-tool automatic tool changer, a double-supported trunnion table and rigid double-column construction, the machine combines accuracy with productivity, offering feed rates of up to 32 m/min and spindle speeds of 15,000 rev/min.
At AMB, the GENOS M460V-5AX will be paired with the UL-100 pallet handling system, providing automation support through storage for up to eight zero-point pallets with transfer weights up to 100kg. The system allows manufacturers to switch between automated and manual operation as production requirements dictate.
Automation will also be a major theme around the LB3000 EX III ARMROID, a horizontal lathe featuring Okuma’s integrated ARMROID robotic automation solution. Widely recognised for precision machining of single parts and small-to-medium production runs, the machine incorporates a 12-position turret and slant-bed construction for rigidity and accuracy. The integrated robot arm automates loading and unloading operations and can be set up without specialist programming knowledge, helping users increase productivity while simplifying operation.
For higher-volume manufacturing environments, Okuma will exhibit the LU4000 EX two-saddle CNC lathe. Designed for productive machining of cylindrical components, the machine performs simultaneous and synchronous 4-axis machining to reduce cycle times. The AMB demonstration machine will feature a Y-axis, driven tooling and a sub-spindle, enabling complex components to be produced in a single setup. Additional automation options include robots, gantry loaders and bar feeders.
The company's MA-4000H horizontal machining centre will complete the machine line-up. Developed for demanding production environments, the 4-axis machine combines a compact footprint with a large working envelope and robust spindle design. Standard equipment includes a two-station automatic pallet changer for extended unmanned operation, while further automation can be added through pallet systems, flexible manufacturing solutions and robotic integration.
Alongside its machine demonstrations, Okuma Europe will introduce its new 3D-Direct programming solution for the first time. Developed specifically for European users, the system allows operators to programme machining operations directly at the OSP control using touchscreen technology and 3D CAD data. STEP files can be imported directly, while machining strategies are automatically suggested based on available tooling data held within the control system. According to Okuma, the technology significantly reduces programming effort, particularly for complex geometries.
Initially available for vertical machining centres, the company plans to expand 3D-Direct across additional machine platforms in the future.
