OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022
USED OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022
The OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022 is a modern twin-spindle CNC turning center designed for high-productivity complete machining, combining two opposing spindles with dual turrets, C-axis capability, driven tooling, and Y-axis machining on equipped configurations. The LT2000 EX is part of Okuma’s TWIN STAR series, which is designed to perform primary and secondary operations within one compact production platform.
The 2022 machine configuration documented in the used market provides approximately 15.75 inches of swing, 8.27 inches of maximum turning diameter, 2.5 inches of bar capacity, and an 8-inch chuck. A documented 2022 example also has approximately 37.8-39.98 inches of distance between spindle centers, depending on how the listing measures the machine envelope.
The LT2000 EX uses twin 5,000 RPM spindles in the documented 2022 configurations, while the current LT2000 EX platform is capable of up to 6,000 RPM on the standard spindle configuration. The machine supports C-axis live tooling and Y-axis machining, with dual 16-station turrets on the documented 2022 2T2MY configuration.
A documented 2022 machine includes an Okuma OSP CNC control, dual turrets, sub spindle, Y-axis, C-axis live tooling, automatic tool presetter, and chip conveyor. This combination makes the machine particularly useful for production components requiring turning, drilling, milling, cross-hole machining, and second-side operations without repeated manual setups.

WHY CHOOSE OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022
The primary advantage of the LT2000 EX is its ability to consolidate multiple operations into a single machine. The opposing spindles can support primary and secondary machining, while the two turrets provide a large number of available tools.
| FEATURE | BENEFIT |
|---|---|
| Twin Spindles | Enables second-side machining |
| Twin Turrets | Increases tooling and process flexibility |
| Y-Axis | Supports off-center machining |
| C-Axis | Enables driven-tool positioning |
| Live Tooling | Performs drilling, milling and tapping |
| 8-Inch Chucks | Provides production workholding |
| 2.5-Inch Bar Capacity | Handles substantial bar stock |
| 5,000 RPM Spindles | Supports production turning |
| 32 Tool Positions | Supports complex operations |
| Okuma OSP Control | Integrated machine control |
| Tool Presetter | Reduces setup time |
| Chip Conveyor | Improves chip management |
The LT2000 EX is therefore well suited to manufacturers looking to reduce work-in-process movement between separate turning and milling machines.
WHY BUY USED OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022
Buying a used OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022 can provide access to a relatively modern multi-axis production turning center without the acquisition cost associated with a new machine.
The 2022 used-market examples currently documented include an 8-inch chuck, 2.5-inch bar capacity, 5,000 RPM spindle, twin turrets, sub spindle, Y-axis, C-axis live tooling, chip conveyor, and automatic tool presetter.
The biggest production advantage is the ability to combine several operations. A component can be turned on one spindle, transferred to the second spindle, and then receive additional turning or driven-tool operations without requiring a separate manual setup.
The Y-axis configuration expands the machine’s capability beyond conventional turning by allowing off-center drilling and milling. The dual-turret arrangement also provides additional tooling capacity and can allow balanced operations between the two spindles.
The Okuma OSP-P300 control platform is another advantage for shops already operating Okuma equipment. The control is designed around an operator-oriented interface while supporting the machine’s multi-axis and multi-turret architecture.
Before purchasing a used 2022 LT2000 EX, buyers should inspect both spindles, verify spindle synchronization and C-axis operation, test both turrets, check Y-axis positioning, inspect live-tool holders, test the chip conveyor, verify the automatic tool presetter, review CNC alarms and maintenance history, and confirm all installed options.
Spindle hours, cutting hours, tooling, automation, bar feeder equipment, coolant options, and the overall maintenance history can have a substantial effect on the machine’s resale value.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022 COST?
Current listings confirm that 2022 OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX machines are actively being offered on the used market, but the major current listings reviewed are being sold at request-for-price rather than displaying a public asking price. A current 2022 example from Toolquip includes dual turrets, sub spindle, Y-axis, C-axis live tooling, chip conveyor, and automatic tool presetter.
A separate 2022 LT-2000EX-2T2MY listing identifies the machine as an 8-axis, 30 HP configuration with 5,000 RPM spindle speed, 2.5-inch bar capacity, 3.15-inch spindle bore, twin 16-station turrets, Y-axis and live tooling.
Because current exact-year sellers are primarily using request-for-price listings, the following figures are an estimated used-market valuation rather than a directly verified current asking price.
| CONDITION | ESTIMATED USED PRICE |
|---|---|
| As-Is / High Hours | $105,000-$125,000 |
| Running / Average Condition | $125,000-$145,000 |
| Good Condition | $145,000-$165,000 |
| Excellent Condition | $165,000-$185,000 |
| Low-Hour / Well Equipped | $185,000-$210,000+ |
| Best Estimated Listing Value | $155,000-$180,000 |
A OKUMA TWIN STAR LT2000 EX – 2022 in good running condition with twin 8-inch chucks, dual 16-station turrets, Y-axis, C-axis live tooling, Okuma OSP control, chip conveyor and automatic tool presetter could reasonably be positioned around $155,000-$180,000.
A low-hour machine with extensive tooling, bar feeder, high-pressure coolant, automation, and documented maintenance could command a higher asking price. Conversely, machines with heavy spindle usage, control issues, turret problems, damaged live-tool stations, or significant axis wear should be priced below this range.
The exact installed configuration is particularly important with the LT2000 EX because Okuma offers multiple combinations, including 2- and 3-turret configurations, M and MY versions, and automation options.
For a machine being listed for sale today, a target asking price of approximately $165,000-$180,000 would provide room for negotiation while positioning a clean, well-equipped 2022 example in the upper portion of the estimated used-market range.
