Built to Handle Bigger Bar Stock

With a maximum bar stock capacity of 3-1/8″, this CNC lathe lineup can tackle heavier, more robust parts with ease. That expanded capacity unlocks the ability to machine larger, more demanding components without sacrificing speed or precision. Whether you’re producing industrial fittings, hydraulic parts, or automotive assemblies, the combination of high spindle power and solid rigidity ensures reliable performance. This range provides a seamless blend of capacity and control, giving shops the muscle to scale up production without switching platforms or processes.

Dual-Turret Dominance with the Okuma LT-2000 2TMY

The Okuma LT-2000 2TMY lathe brings dual-turret power to the floor with 2-5/8” bar capacity and live tooling. With four of these machines in the fleet, manufacturers can achieve parallel processing—cutting down production time by splitting operations across twin turrets and twin spindles. Complex parts that used to require multiple setups can now be completed in a single pass. The Y-axis on each turret opens the door to off-center milling, drilling, and tapping, delivering unmatched flexibility for multi-axis part designs.

Doosan TT1800SY: Balanced, Fast, Reliable

The Doosan TT1800SY lathes (with 2-5/8” bar capacity and 8” chucks) provide a rugged and refined solution for simultaneous machining. With twin turrets and spindles, plus live tooling and sub-spindle transfer, they excel at high-volume, multi-operation parts. These machines reduce cycle time dramatically while ensuring consistent precision across parts. Their rigidity and smooth control are especially valuable when working with tight tolerances, making them a go-to for high-value part runs in aerospace, defense, and energy applications.

The TT2100SYYB: Ultimate Chucking and Capacity

When size matters, the Doosan TT2100SYYB stands out with 3-1/8” bar capacity, a 10” chuck, and dual Y-axis turrets. This machine is engineered for demanding parts that require both brawn and finesse. Its extended chucking ability allows for secure gripping of larger-diameter stock, ideal for oversized valve components or structural connectors. The Y-axis capability on both turrets means more complex geometries can be machined simultaneously, making this lathe a centerpiece for high-precision, large-part workflows. With its ability to handle heavier cuts and tighter tolerances in a single setup, the TT2100SYYB boosts throughput while reducing labor and setup times.

Tsugami M08SY: Short Run Champion

The Tsugami M08SY lathes are designed for flexibility and efficiency on short-run jobs. With 2-1/2” bar capacity, live tooling, and twin spindles, these single-turret machines offer quick setups and fast changeovers. Their precision and reliability shine in prototype development or low-volume production where agility is critical. Whether you’re switching from one part family to another or dialing in a new product line, the M08SY makes it easy to maintain quality and turnaround speed without excessive downtime. These machines are also ideal for shops focused on lean manufacturing principles, as they reduce waste, maximize uptime, and support consistent output across diverse part geometries.

An Integrated Fleet for Scalable Success

Together, this lineup of CNC lathes offers a scalable machining ecosystem ready for anything from short runs to 24/7 production. Whether leveraging the twin-turret performance of the Okuma and Doosan platforms or the nimble versatility of the Tsugami M08SY, this collection equips shops with the tools to meet growing customer demands. Live tooling across the board ensures multi-process capabilities, while bar and chucking capacities address everything from intricate small parts to robust industrial components. This fleet was built for precision, efficiency, and long-term growth.
