New GENOS CNC Lathes Provide Okuma Performance At An Affordable Price

Dayton, OH - /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Okuma developed the GENOS series of CNC lathes to be turning machines with multi-function capabilities, that are affordable and easy to use and maintain. Although they are considered entry-level machines, these CNC lathes provide stability, rigidity and accuracy for a multitude of applications. The GENOS series includes a number of standard timesaving features, and a wide range of specification variations so users can handle everything from simple jobs to complex parts.

All GENOS models have a high-rigidity gearless spindle, a compact PREX turret motor for faster multitasking, and a structurally stable bed designed for minimal thermal distortion. Additionally, the sub-spindle allows front and back machining without interference. The high-accuracy, wide range Y-axis travel uses a double slide system to accommodate a variety of milling operations.

The operating system includes touch screen technology in a shop-hardened panel that resists dirt and scratching, provides 2 USB ports and Ethernet connectivity, and has a reliable, vibration-proof hard drive. From a single screen, operators can set and check tool compensation values, and perform Touch Setter arm advance/retraction, and gauging cycle start. Likewise, they can perform the series of operations to start multitasking on one screen while confirming C and Y axes status, and can edit G/M programs with a single touch of the control screen.

In addition to affordability and improved productivity, GENOS CNC lathes reduce energy costs. For example, the flat-screen computer uses 57% less energy than previous Okuma systems, and servo power consumption is reduced by 12%.
