OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012
USED OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012
The OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012 is a heavy-duty 2-axis CNC horizontal turning center designed for manufacturers that need a combination of large workpiece capacity, long turning length, rigid construction, and reliable CNC turning performance. The GENOS L400 series was developed by Okuma as a production-oriented CNC lathe platform, and the L400E configuration is particularly suited to medium and large components requiring turning, facing, boring, threading, grooving, and related operations.
A documented 2012 GENOS L400E features a 20.47-inch swing, approximately 12.99-inch maximum turning diameter, 43.31-inch maximum machining length, 10-inch chuck, 3,000 RPM spindle, 12-station turret, tailstock, and Okuma OSP control. Published examples show both 15 HP and 20 HP spindle configurations, so the exact motor rating should be verified on the individual machine.
The machine is designed around a substantial A2-8 spindle nose and can accommodate approximately 2.7 to 3.15 inches of bar capacity depending on configuration. Its long Z-axis travel makes it particularly useful for shafts, housings, flanges, rollers, bushings, and other elongated components.
The GENOS L400E is suitable for job shops and production environments serving automotive, oil and gas, energy, heavy equipment, hydraulic, industrial machinery, and general manufacturing industries.

WHY CHOOSE OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012
The primary advantage of the OKUMA GENOS L400E is its combination of a relatively large turning envelope and long machining length in a straightforward two-axis CNC turning platform.
With a 20.47-inch swing, approximately 12.99-inch maximum turning diameter, 43.31-inch machining length, 10-inch chuck, A2-8 spindle, and 3,000 RPM maximum speed, the machine provides useful capacity for medium-to-large turning applications.
The 12-station turret allows multiple cutting tools to remain loaded for multi-operation jobs, while the tailstock provides support for long workpieces.
The Okuma OSP control platform is another advantage, particularly for shops already familiar with Okuma CNC equipment. Some documented machines also include IGF conversational programming, probing, tool presetting, Ethernet, USB, and RS232 connectivity.
WHY BUY USED OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012
Buying a used OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012 can give manufacturers access to a substantial CNC turning center without the investment required for a new large-capacity lathe.
The machine’s combination of 10-inch chuck capacity, long 43.31-inch machining length, 20.47-inch swing, A2-8 spindle, 3,000 RPM spindle speed, 12-station turret, and tailstock makes it a versatile option for shops that routinely manufacture longer or larger components.
A documented 2012 example had only 3,135 cutting hours and 3,991 spindle hours as of October 2019, demonstrating that some machines from this production year may have relatively low usage histories.
When buying used, inspect the spindle bearings, chuck and hydraulic system, turret indexing, tailstock alignment, ballscrews, linear guides, OSP control, lubrication system, coolant system, chip conveyor, and overall machine geometry.
A test cut should be performed whenever possible to evaluate spindle condition, axis accuracy, taper, surface finish, and repeatability.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012 COST?
The price of a used OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012 depends on spindle hours, cutting hours, mechanical condition, control version, chuck, turret, tailstock, tooling, probing, chip conveyor, tool presetter, maintenance history, and location.
Current used-market listings demonstrate a wide range. One 2012 GENOS L400E listing was offered at $9,900 USD, while other documented examples have substantially different equipment and condition.
For used-equipment listing purposes, a reasonable broad market estimate for a used OKUMA GENOS L400E 2012 is approximately $15,000 to $40,000 USD, depending heavily on condition, hours, configuration, and included accessories.
A clean machine with a healthy OSP control, good spindle, 10-inch hydraulic chuck, 12-station turret, tailstock, tool presetter, chip conveyor, and documented maintenance can command a premium. Machines requiring spindle work, hydraulic repairs, control repairs, turret service, or geometric correction can be worth considerably less.
Before establishing a final selling price, buyers should verify spindle condition, chuck operation, turret indexing, tailstock alignment, X/Z-axis accuracy, ballscrew backlash, guideway condition, control operation, coolant system, chip conveyor, lubrication system, and machine geometry.
