Okuma SIMUL TURN LU Repair & Support
SIMUL TURN LU is Okuma’s full technology name for the LU Series — the same twin-turret, simultaneous-machining lathe, same electronics, same repair process.

SIMUL TURN LU Is Okuma’s Full Name for the LU Series
If you’ve landed here searching for “SIMUL TURN LU,” here’s the short version: it isn’t a separate machine from the LU Series we already cover in detail. “SIMUL TURN” describes the twin-turret simultaneous-turning technology that defines the LU EX platform — two turrets cutting the same part at once — and Okuma’s own literature refers to the full range as the “SIMUL TURN LU EX series.” In practice, “LU Series,” “LU EX,” and “SIMUL TURN LU” all point to the same family of machines: LU3000 EX, LU4000 EX, LU7000 EX and the older LU35/LU45.
This matters if you’re trying to find documentation, spare parts or repair information: some material is filed under “SIMUL TURN,” some under “LU EX,” and mixing up which term to search under can mean missing something you actually need. If your machine’s nameplate or brochure calls it a SIMUL TURN LU, everything we’ve published about the LU Series — model specifications, OSP control generations, common faults, and components we repair — applies to it exactly as written.
SIMUL TURN LU to LU Series Name Mapping
Here’s how the naming lines up:
| SIMUL TURN Naming | LU Series (Model Number) |
|---|---|
| SIMUL TURN LU3000 EX | LU3000 EX |
| SIMUL TURN LU4000 EX | LU4000 EX |
| SIMUL TURN LU7000 EX | LU7000 EX |
Because these are the same machines, the twin-turret synchronization behavior, spindle drive characteristics, and OSP control generations (THINC-OSP through OSP-P500) are identical to what we’ve already documented for the LU Series.

Where We Support SIMUL TURN LU Machines
CNC Elektronik is based in Germany, where we regularly see LU Series machines described under the SIMUL TURN name in older documentation and brochures. We also support customers further afield, including Brazil, where the same twin-turret machines are typically referred to simply as the LU Series. See our Countries We Serve page for our full regional coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. SIMUL TURN describes the twin-turret simultaneous-machining technology built into the LU EX platform. Okuma’s own literature uses “SIMUL TURN LU EX” and “LU Series” interchangeably for the same machines.
The same range as the LU Series: THINC-OSP on older machines, OSP-P300 on many mid-generation units, and OSP-P500 on the current LU3000 EX. See the LU Series page for the full breakdown.
Both, if possible. Official Okuma documentation isn’t always consistent about which term it uses, so checking under both names — along with the exact model number, e.g. LU3000 EX — gives you the best chance of finding what you need.
