—Okuma
Okuma’s V920EX single-saddle
vertical lathe features a powerful turn-
ing spindle and a larger work envelope,
making it ideal for cutting a variety
of large, heavy parts. The machine’s
work envelope provides a maximum
turning diameter of 36.22” plus 33.86”
of swing over the saddle, enabling it to
accommodate large, odd-shaped work-
pieces. Highly rigid construction and
powerful ballscrews generate slideway
movement to both axes for precise
machining. The lathe has a maximum
swing of 39.37”, and an rpm range of
20 to 1,250.

reports that cycle times, lead times and
energy costs are significantly improved
with their open architecture OSP-
