USED OKUMA LT-200 MY – 2005
The USED OKUMA LT-200 MY – 2005 is a high-productivity CNC turning and milling center designed for manufacturers that need more capability than a conventional single-spindle CNC lathe. Part of Okuma’s Twin Star family, the LT-200 MY combines turning, live tooling, C-axis machining, Y-axis capability, twin-spindle operation, and twin-turret configurations in a compact production-oriented platform. The machine is particularly useful for manufacturers producing complex turned components that require milling, drilling, tapping, cross-hole machining, or secondary operations without transferring the workpiece to another machine.
The LT-200 MY has a maximum swing of approximately 15.75 inches and a maximum cutting diameter of approximately 8.27 inches, with a maximum turning length of approximately 21.26 inches in the commonly documented configuration. Both the main spindle and sub-spindle use A2-6 spindle noses, with approximately 2.44-inch spindle bores and 2-inch bar capacity. Main and sub-spindle speeds are commonly listed up to 4,500 RPM, while the live-tooling system can reach approximately 6,000 RPM.
One of the major advantages of the LT-200 MY is its combination of two spindles and two turrets. Used LT-200 MY machines are commonly equipped with 12-station turrets, with live-tooling capability available for machining operations on the workpiece. This arrangement allows manufacturers to perform multiple operations in one setup and can significantly reduce handling and work-in-process between turning and milling operations.
The Y-axis provides additional flexibility for off-center milling and drilling. The commonly published specification shows approximately ±3.62 inches of Y-axis travel, while the sub-spindle has approximately 28.74 inches of B/W-axis travel, depending on the terminology used in the machine documentation. The LT-200 MY can therefore be configured for highly automated production of parts requiring multiple machining operations.
The 2005 model is also commonly found with an Okuma OSP-P100L CNC control, although individual machines may have different control configurations or later upgrades. Used examples can also be equipped with chip conveyors, parts catchers, touch setters, bar-feed interfaces, collet systems, tooling packages, and other production accessories.
For manufacturers looking for a used CNC turning center with live tooling, Y-axis capability, C-axis machining, twin spindles, and twin-turret production capability, the OKUMA LT-200 MY remains a versatile machine platform. Exact specifications, options, tooling, machine hours, condition, and control configuration should always be verified on the individual used machine before purchase.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – AXIS
The OKUMA LT-200 MY is designed around a multi-axis turning configuration that can combine conventional turning with milling operations. Commonly documented machines use two turrets, two spindles, C-axis functionality, and Y-axis capability on the upper turret.

| X Travel | 7.56″ |
| Z Travel | 27.56″ |
| Y Travel | Approximately ±3.62″ |
| Sub-Spindle Travel | 28.74″ |
The 37.80-inch maximum distance between spindle noses provides the machine with substantial positioning flexibility for transferring and supporting parts between the main and sub-spindle.
Because the actual work envelope depends on tooling, chuck configuration, part geometry, and the machine’s specific options, buyers should confirm the exact usable envelope on an individual machine.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – CAPACITY / WORKHOLDING
The LT-200 MY is commonly configured with an approximately 8-inch main chuck and a smaller sub-spindle chuck, although individual machines may be supplied with different chucking and collet arrangements.
A documented 2005 LT-200 MY example lists an 8-inch chuck, 2-inch bar capacity, 15.75-inch swing, and 8.27-inch maximum turning diameter. Another documented machine is equipped with ATS collet chucks on both the main and sub-spindles.

| Sub-Spindle Travel | 28.74″ |
| C-Axis | Configuration dependent |
This arrangement is useful for machining both ends of shafts, bushings, fittings, and other components where secondary setup would otherwise be required.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – Y AXIS
The Y-axis is a key feature distinguishing the LT-200 MY from many conventional CNC turning centers.
The upper turret’s Y-axis is commonly listed with approximately ±3.62 inches of travel. Other published documentation shows the positive and negative travel separately, approximately +1.65/+1.96 inches and -1.97/-1.65 inches, depending on the specification source and configuration.
Y-axis capability allows the live tooling to move away from the centerline of the workpiece. This makes the machine suitable for:
- Off-center drilling
- Cross drilling
- Milling flats
- Slot milling
- Keyway machining
- Side-hole machining
- Radial milling
- Complex turned-and-milled components
For manufacturers producing parts that would otherwise require a separate machining center after turning, the Y-axis can reduce secondary operations and part handling.

The LT-200 MY combines C-axis spindle positioning with live tooling to provide milling and drilling capability on the turning center.
The rotary tooling system is commonly specified for speeds from approximately 50 to 6,000 RPM, with approximately 5.4 HP rotary tool motors.
| Live Tooling Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Live Tool Speed | 50–6,000 RPM |
| Rotary Tool Motor | Approx. 5.4 HP |
| C-Axis | Yes |
| Y-Axis | Yes |
| Live Tool Stations | Configuration dependent |
| Turret Stations | 12 + 12 commonly documented |
Live tooling substantially expands the type of components that can be produced. Instead of turning the OD and then moving the component to a separate mill for drilling or milling, many operations can be completed within the LT-200 MY.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – TURRET / TOOL CAPACITY
The LT-200 MY is commonly configured with two 12-station turrets, giving the machine a total of up to 24 turret positions.
Published specifications identify the turrets as 12-position units, with rotary tooling capability. Some used machines are supplied with tooling packages, static holders, radial live-tool units, collet holders, and other accessories.

OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – CHIP MANAGEMENT / COOLANT
The LT-200 MY can be equipped with automatic chip-handling equipment such as a chip conveyor. Used examples are also commonly advertised with parts catchers and other production accessories.
Chip management is especially important on a twin-spindle, live-tool CNC because the machine can generate chips from both turning and milling operations.
Common equipment may include:
- Chip conveyor
- Flood coolant
- Parts catcher
- Parts ejector
- Coolant system
- Tool touch setter
- Automatic doors
- Bar-feed interface
The exact coolant pump, tank capacity, filtration system, chip conveyor style, and high-pressure coolant capability should be confirmed for each individual machine.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – AUTOMATION CAPABILITY
The LT-200 MY is well suited to production automation because of its twin-spindle and multi-turret architecture.
Used examples have been documented with bar-feed interfaces, parts catchers, parts ejectors, automatic doors, and robotic-loader interfaces.
A bar feeder can supply raw material automatically for repeated production. After the main spindle operation, the sub-spindle can take over the part for secondary machining, while a parts catcher can facilitate finished-part removal.
This type of configuration can be particularly useful for high-volume production of repetitive components.
OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005 – RAPID TRAVERSE

The combination of main spindle, sub-spindle, live tooling, Y-axis and C-axis makes the LT-200 MY especially useful for parts that require multiple operations.
WHY CHOOSE THE OKUMA LT-200 MY 2005?
The main advantage of the OKUMA LT-200 MY is its ability to combine several machining functions in one platform. A conventional CNC lathe may require a second machine for milling, drilling, or back-side operations. The LT-200 MY was designed to reduce that need by incorporating multiple spindles, turrets, live tooling, C-axis machining, and Y-axis capability.
The twin-spindle configuration is valuable for components requiring machining on both ends. Instead of removing the part and manually setting it up again, the sub-spindle can take over the workpiece and complete additional operations.
The Y-axis provides another major advantage. It allows live tools to machine features away from the centerline, making the LT-200 MY suitable for cross holes, flats, slots, and other milled features.
The live tooling system can operate at approximately 6,000 RPM, providing useful capability for drilling and milling operations.
The twin-turret design also provides substantial tooling capacity, with commonly documented machines using 12 stations on each turret.
For a manufacturer purchasing a used CNC machine, the LT-200 MY can therefore provide turning, milling, secondary spindle machining, and multi-tool production capability in one machine footprint.
WHY BUY USED OKUMA LT-200 MY?
Buying a used OKUMA LT-200 MY – 2005 can provide access to a sophisticated multi-axis turning platform at a substantially different acquisition cost than purchasing a comparable new turn-mill machine. The machine’s original design combines twin-spindle machining, twin turrets, live tooling, C-axis capability, and Y-axis machining, making it considerably more versatile than a basic two-axis CNC lathe.
For manufacturers that already have experienced CNC operators and programmers, a used LT-200 MY can be particularly useful when production requires multiple operations on the same component. The ability to turn, drill, mill, and transfer parts between spindles can reduce setups and handling.
The machine’s 2-inch bar capacity is also useful for a broad range of small- and medium-sized production components. Its approximately 8.27-inch maximum cutting diameter and 21.26-inch maximum turning length place it in a useful size range for many industrial parts.
Another advantage of purchasing used is the availability of machines already equipped with production accessories. Used LT-200 MY examples have been advertised with chip conveyors, parts catchers, touch setters, bar-feed interfaces, tooling, collet systems, and other accessories.
However, condition is particularly important when purchasing a 2005 multi-axis CNC. Buyers should inspect spindle condition, turret alignment, live-tool operation, Y-axis backlash, C-axis accuracy, sub-spindle movement, ball screws, way surfaces, hydraulic systems, coolant systems, chip conveyor, control electronics, and machine geometry.
A complete inspection should also verify machine hours, spindle hours, maintenance records, alarm history, tooling included with the machine, and whether the machine can be demonstrated under power.
A properly inspected used LT-200 MY can provide manufacturers with a capable production turning and milling platform while avoiding the acquisition cost of a new machine with comparable multi-function capabilities.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED OKUMA LT-200 MY COST?
The price of a USED OKUMA LT-200 MY – 2005 can vary substantially depending on machine condition, hours, control configuration, tooling, rebuilding or refurbishment, included automation, spindle condition, and the seller’s asking price.
Current and recent used-machine listings illustrate this variation. A 2005 Okuma LT-200 MY has been listed at approximately $55,000, with OSP control, chip conveyor, bar feeder, live tooling, sub-spindle, Y-axis, and other production features.
Another 2005 LT-200 MY listing from Revelation Machinery shows an asking price of approximately $114,900 for a machine described as having been fully rebuilt in 2017 and equipped with live tooling and additional production accessories.
These examples demonstrate why there is no single fixed market price for a used LT-200 MY. A machine that has undergone a substantial rebuild can command a significantly different asking price from a machine being sold in ordinary used condition.
When evaluating a used LT-200 MY, buyers should compare the total machine package, not just the advertised price. A machine with an included chip conveyor, parts catcher, live-tool holders, collets, touch setter, bar-feed interface, and tooling package may have considerably more practical value than a lower-priced machine requiring those items to be purchased separately.
Condition is another major pricing factor. Spindle hours, cutting hours, turret condition, ball-screw condition, machine geometry, control condition, hydraulic performance, and the accuracy of the Y-axis and C-axis should all be considered.
For that reason, advertised prices should be treated as individual seller asking prices rather than a guaranteed market value. The actual value of a particular 2005 OKUMA LT-200 MY depends on its condition, configuration, location, included equipment, service history, and inspection results. Buyers should request current photos, machine videos, CNC control information, spindle hours, machine hours, serial number, and a complete list of included tooling and accessories before making a purchasing decision.
