OKUMA MULTUS U1000 / U2000: Multitasking CNC Machines Redefining High-Precision Machining.

In advanced manufacturing, every investment decision in CNC machines has a direct impact on competitiveness. Today, the challenge is no longer just about increasing output, but about optimizing CNC machining, reducing shop floor space, and minimizing reliance on highly specialized labor.

In this context, Okuma introduces a solution aligned with this evolution: the MULTUS U1000 and U2000, multitasking CNC machining centers recognized with the Best 10 New Products Award 2025, one of the most prestigious awards in global industrial innovation. Beyond recognition, these machines represent a shift in how processes are integrated within a single high-precision CNC machining center.

Less Space, higher productivity per square foot

One of the main bottlenecks in manufacturing is not always capacity, but floor space. Integrating more processes without expanding infrastructure has become a priority for CNC machining operations.

The MULTUS U1000/U2000 stand out with a compact footprint within the category of industrial CNC machines, enabling:

This is not just a smaller machine—it’s a smarter way to maximize space in metal CNC machining processes.

Process integration: fewer setups, greater efficiency

In environments where cycle time is critical, reducing setups is essential.

With a standard 80-tool magazine, these machines allow consolidation of operations typically performed on:

This directly impacts:

In practical terms, this translates into a more efficient and controlled production process.

CNC precision for high-demand industries

Industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive require high-precision CNC machines capable of handling complex geometries.

Enhanced indexing accuracy on the B and C axes enables the MULTUS series to deliver:

This positions these machines as an ideal solution for companies looking to scale their capabilities in advanced manufacturing.

Integrated and practical industrial automation

Automation is no longer optional in the industrial CNC machinery ecosystem. However, implementation within limited space remains a key challenge.

The flat-front design of the MULTUS machines facilitates integration with industrial robots, enabling:

This makes automation a natural evolution of the CNC production process, rather than a complex standalone project.

More than a CNC Machine: a strategic decision

Okuma’s recognition in 2025 confirms a clear trend: the evolution of computer numerical control (CNC) machines is focused on integration, automation, and operational efficiency.

Today, the conversation is no longer just about purchasing a CNC machine, but about how that technology transforms:

At HEMAQ, we support the industry through this transition by integrating solutions in CNC machining centers, CNC lathes, and high-performance CNC machinery.
