Okuma SPACE TURN Series Repair & Support
SPACE TURN is Okuma’s European name for the LB EX turning center platform — same machine, same electronics, same repair process.
SPACE TURN Is Okuma’s European Name for the LB Series
If you’ve found this page searching for “SPACE TURN,” here’s the short version: it isn’t a separate machine. Okuma Europe markets its LB EX turning center range under the SPACE TURN name across Germany and much of the rest of Europe, while the identical machines are sold as the LB Series in the Americas and elsewhere. The electronics, control options, spindle, turret and drive hardware are the same — only the model plate and the sales literature use a different name depending on which market the machine was sold into.
This matters when you’re trying to source information, spare parts or documentation: searching only for “SPACE TURN” will miss a lot of official Okuma material that’s filed under “LB EX,” and vice versa. If your machine’s nameplate says SPACETURN LB3000 EX, for example, it’s electrically and mechanically identical to an LB3000 EX sold anywhere else in the world.
SPACE TURN to LB Series Name Mapping
Here’s how the naming lines up between the two markets:
| SPACE TURN (Europe) | LB Series (International) |
|---|---|
| SPACETURN LB2000 EX | LB2000 EX |
| SPACETURN LB3000 EX | LB3000 EX |
| SPACETURN LB4000 EX | LB4000 EX |
Because the hardware is identical, everything we’ve written about the LB Series — model specifications, OSP control generations, common faults, components we repair, and repair services — applies exactly the same way to a SPACE TURN-branded machine.

Where We Support SPACE TURN Machines
CNC Elektronik is based in Germany — one of the core markets where the SPACE TURN name is used — so this is a naming convention we deal with constantly, not an edge case. We also support customers further afield, including Brazil, where the same machines are sold under the LB Series name. See our Countries We Serve page for our full regional coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. SPACE TURN is Okuma Europe’s regional name for the LB EX platform. The control, drives, spindle and turret are identical to an LB Series machine with the same model number.
The same range as the LB Series: OSP-P100 or OSP-P200 on older machines, OSP-P300 on mid-generation units, and OSP-P500 on the current LB-EX III. See the LB Series page for the full breakdown by model generation.
Both, if you can. Official Okuma documentation is sometimes filed under one name only, so checking both terms — and the exact model number, e.g. LB3000 EX — gives you the best chance of finding what you need.
