What the Okuma IMPACT LU-15 is

The Okuma IMPACT LU-15 is a CNC turning center — a machine for turning round parts between a chuck and, where fitted, a tailstock — shafts, flanges, housings and bar work. The manufacturer publishes a max turning diameter of 14.17 in / 360 mm.

Okuma IMPACT LU-15 specifications

Manufacturer specification (archived). This model is out of current production, so the figures below come from the manufacturer’s own specification as it was published at the time, recovered from an archived capture and checked back against it word for word. This specification is short. We publish 5 figures for this machine because that is all we have been able to verify in the manufacturer record so far, and we would rather say so than pad it out. If you own one, we can still quote it.

1996 to 2002model years listed

We track listings across 25 used-machinery marketplaces, and every competitor in this market is one of them, so this is a view none of them can produce for themselves. Right now there are 7 units of this exact designation on the market, drawn from 2 independent sources, spanning model years 1996 to 2002. A seller is competing with those units, which is why condition, tooling and control generation decide the number.

We count only listings whose model is spelled as this machine’s own designation. Near spellings that may be a different variant are excluded rather than counted, so this is a floor on what is out there, not a total.

What to check on an Okuma IMPACT LU-15

The same list whichever side of the deal you are on.

  • Control generation. The specification we hold for this model does not name its control. The control is often the single biggest swing on two otherwise identical machines, because it decides which buyers can use it at all.
  • Spindle hours and condition. Most controls show run hours on a maintenance or diagnostics screen. It is the first number anyone asks for, so find it before the conversation rather than during it.
  • Tooling and accessories. Holders, chucks, steady rests, probing and automation attachments travel with the machine, and they are worth real money separately from it.
  • Turret condition and index time. A turret that has been crashed is the expensive repair on a lathe, and index time is the first thing a buyer times.
  • Live tooling and the sub-spindle, if fitted. Whether the rotary tools still drive, and whether the second spindle synchronizes, separates two very different machines that share a model number.
  • The tailstock and steady rests. They travel with the machine and they are counted.
  • Power and rigging access. How the machine comes out of the building is a real cost, and it is one MTE absorbs, so an accessible machine is worth more to us.
