Okuma introduces its new HJ-250E horizontal CNC lathe. This machine offers many of the advantages of the company's GENOS lathe series with a FANUC control, reportedly providing an affordable, entry-level lathe with exceptional flexibility.

Built on a one-piece, cast iron base with a horizontal way system and hand-scraped headstock and tailstock mounting surfaces, this machine provides stability, rigidity and accuracy for a variety of applications. A gearless spindle reduces vibration and heat, minimizing thermal deformation for maximum productivity.
