Okuma MB-46Okuma MB-46 VAE 3-Axis Milling Machine
The MB-46VAE is a 3-axis Computer Numerically-Controlled (CNC) Mill used in machining characterization and control studies. Current research is in machining of lightweight and difficult-to-machine alloys, physics-based modeling of the cutting process, integrated machine metrology and error characterization and machining of composite materials.

Okuma LB-4000EX LatheOkuma LB-4000EX Lathe
The LB-4000EX is a general-purpose multi-function machine designed to reduce setup time by virtually eliminating repetitive fixturing to improve accuracy and keep non-cutting time to a minimum. It features the industry’s first Collision Avoidance System software. Combined with Okuma’s THINC-OSP Control, this software can run the entire machining simulation and catch potential collisions before they create scrap.

machine shopMachine Shop*
A well-equipped machine shop with turning, milling, drilling, sawing, welding and plasma cutting capabilities is located within the Campbell Center.

general lab spaceGeneral-Purpose Lab Area
The laboratory, which is not available to the public, has a large general-purpose high bay area with a 5-ton overhead crane and two Rotary vehicle lifts. One is a two-arm 10,000 lb. capacity lift, and the other is a four-post 14,000 lb. capacity alignment lift.

Okuma MU-500 5-Axis Machining Center
The MU-500 is a universal machining center, able to remove material in any accessible orientation to the cutter. It allows for cutting of freeform surface geometry and is also driven by the Okuma THINC controller.

Data Acquisition and Instrumentation Services Tools
The Campbell Center is equipped with a full range of vehicle instrumentation and data acquisition tools. The staff has extensive experience with in-vehicle measurements for both on- and off-road operations.
