en.Wedoany.com Reported - Okuma will present its latest achievements in CNC machining and automation at the AMB exhibition in Stuttgart from September 15 to 19, 2026, unveiling a series of high-performance machine tools designed to reduce complexity while enhancing precision and efficiency. Located at Booth E71 in Hall 10 (its machines are available through NCMT in Coventry, UK), the company will demonstrate five machines under the theme "Metal Comes Alive," focusing on integrated turnkey solutions that combine machining centers with automation technology.
One of the highlights is the Multus U2000 multi-function machine tool, which offers a large work area within a compact footprint. As an all-in-one solution, it supports complex five-axis machining and dual-saddle simultaneous turning. The machine employs Okuma's Turn-Cut technology, enabling turning operations outside the rotary axis, while Y-axis and B-axis functions provide stable cutting conditions. This model integrates a range of intelligent technologies, including the Thermo-Friendly Concept for thermal stability, a collision avoidance system, and Machining Navi for optimizing cutting parameters and reducing vibration.
Another exhibited machine is the Genos M460V-5AX, a compact five-axis machining center suitable for high-precision simultaneous machining of parts up to 600×400 mm. It features a feed rate of 32 m/min, a spindle speed of 15,000 rev/min, a rigid double-column structure, and a trunnion table. At AMB, this machine will be paired with the UL-100 automatic pallet handling system, which accommodates up to eight zero-point pallets and supports both automatic and manual operation.
In the turning segment, Okuma will showcase the LB3000 EX III horizontal lathe equipped with an integrated Armroid robotic arm. Known for its versatility in single-piece and small-to-medium batch production, the machine features a twelve-station tool post and a slant bed design for stability. The Armroid system enables automatic loading and unloading without complex robot programming, simplifying setup and operation.
For high-volume production, the LU4000 EX dual-saddle CNC lathe will demonstrate simultaneous four-axis machining. Designed for efficient production of cylindrical parts, it supports single-setup machining of complex parts when equipped with Y-axis functionality, live tooling, and a sub-spindle. The platform can be integrated with robots, gantry loaders, or bar feeders for automated batch production.
The final machine in the lineup is the MA-4000H horizontal machining center, designed for heavy-duty applications and demanding environments. Despite its compact footprint, it offers a large work area and a 400×400 mm table. The standard two-station pallet changer extends unmanned operation time, while flexible manufacturing system and robot integration options enable fully autonomous production.
Okuma will also introduce its new 3D-Direct programming solution to the European market at this exhibition. The system allows users to program directly on the OSP controller using 3D data, importing STEP files via the touchscreen. Tool data is automatically retrieved, and suitable machining strategies are suggested, significantly reducing programming time for complex geometries. More detailed information about Okuma's AMB 2026 showcase, including visitor admission details, is available on the company's dedicated exhibition website.
