In 1975, Okuma introduced its first multitasking machine, the LM70-AT. It was capable of turning, drilling and milling in a single unit, offering a complete machining process. Okuma has continued to develop this principle over the years in line with market requirements. Today, the MULTUS range is synonymous with technological innovation and the highest standards.
Multitasking machining is to machine tools what smartphones are to many people's daily lives. Multiple operations, including turning, milling, drilling, threading and other surface operations, can be performed on a single machine with a single setup.
The benefits for manufacturers are enormous: they reduce the number of work steps, minimize the risk of manual errors or material loss thanks to continuous processes, shorten setup times and take up less floor space. Order acceptance has also become more flexible: even rush jobs can be handled quickly, requiring only a program change to the powerful and easy-to-use CNC software. The same applies to orders from new industries or to meet new legal requirements: Okuma's Multitasking Machines enable companies to react quickly to new requirements. This improves competitiveness, especially for small and medium-sized batches.
The MULTUS range offers the most advanced Okuma solutions for multitasking operations. While the MULTUS BII series includes several standard models for simple entry-level applications, the MULTUS B machines are ideal for complex workpieces up to one meter in diameter and up to six meters in length. The MULTUS U Series offers a choice of three models with an optional lower turret for increased productivity. The multitasking machines can also be upgraded with Okuma ARMROID or robotic cells for automation. This increases productivity and efficiency while maintaining the usual ease of use and precision machining.
Okuma's modern machine tools are also increasingly focused on low and sustainable energy consumption. The Thermo-Friendly Concept compensates for temperature fluctuations and achieves high dimensional stability during long periods of continuous operation. This minimizes machine warm-up time, saving energy and costs. ECO Suite Plus adds even more energy-saving features. For example, it monitors unnecessary pump rotation or the continuous running of decentralized equipment and switches it off if necessary. It also records CO2 emissions.
