Used Okuma Equipment For Sale

Okuma Corporation traces its roots to 1898, when founder Eiichi Okuma established the company in Nagoya, Japan. The firm transitioned from noodle-making machinery to machine tool manufacturing in 1904, with lathes at the core of its early product line. By 1918 Okuma Machinery Works Ltd. was formally established, and the company entered the CNC era in the early 1970s, releasing its first CNC system in 1973. Over the following decades Okuma grew into a publicly traded global manufacturer listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, relocating its headquarters to Ōguchi, Aichi Prefecture, where it operates today.

Okuma's turning and multitasking product lines are the heart of its catalog. The LB Series CNC lathes are engineered for high-production turning, offering large swing capacity and flexible configurations across a wide range of bore sizes and bed lengths. The Genos L Series delivers compact, thermally stable turning centers well suited to small- and medium-part production. The Multus B Series represents Okuma's flagship multitasking platform, combining full turning and B-axis milling capability in a single setup — the "W" suffix models add a sub-spindle for complete done-in-one machining. Earlier series such as the Captain and Space Turn remain widely available on the used market. All of these machines run Okuma's proprietary OSP control, an open-architecture system that has evolved through multiple generations and is recognized for its conversational IGF programming, collision avoidance, and built-in thermal compensation.

Okuma CNC turning centers and lathes serve a broad cross-section of precision manufacturing industries. Aerospace and defense manufacturers rely on them to machine turbine components, landing gear, and airframe structures from high-strength alloys. Automotive Tier 1 suppliers use Okuma turning equipment to produce pistons, camshafts, and transmission components at volume. The medical device sector depends on the tight tolerances and multi-axis capability of machines like the Multus B Series for implants and surgical instruments. Oil and energy, heavy equipment, and general job-shop production round out the primary end markets.

Used Okuma CNC lathes and turning centers hold their value exceptionally well on the secondary market. The machines are built for longevity — many run productively for more than 20 years — and Okuma's status as the industry's only true single-source manufacturer, building its own CNC control, spindles, servo motors, and encoders in-house, means replacement parts and support resources remain consistently available. The OSP control has a loyal following among experienced CNC machinists, and the Thermo-Friendly Concept's real-time thermal compensation helps pre-owned machines maintain tight tolerances long after initial installation. These factors combine to make used Okuma turning equipment among the most sought-after and competitively bid machinery in the CNC secondary market.
