Okuma America Corp. showcases a comprehensive lineup of metalworking technology, including CNC machine tools, a CNC control, a line of automation systems, intelligent manufacturing technologies, customer services and more.
Visitors to Okuma’s 17,000 square-foot booth will have the opportunity to engage directly with the company’s latest CNC machine tools and automation technologies. Additionally, they can explore various interactive experiences throughout the booth. Technical experts from Okuma, Okuma distributors and Okuma’s Partners in Technology network will be onsite to provide consultation and expertise to visitors based on application needs.
Okuma will unveil three new CNC machine tools at IMTS 2024, all of which are first-time debuts in the Americas. All three machines will be presented with Okuma’s optimized machine design and equipped with Okuma’s new OSP-P500 CNC control:
- Okuma MA-4000H Horizontal Machining Center
- Okuma LB2000 EX III-MYW Horizontal Lathe
- Okuma LB4000 EX III-MYW Horizontal Lathe
Additionally, 12 of the 14 Okuma machines on display feature the Okuma OSP-P500 CNC control, an advanced open architecture system designed exclusively for Okuma machines. This control system enables numerous intelligent machining technologies, which are showcased at the event.
Okuma also presents a comprehensive lineup of automation systems developed by the Okuma Factory Automation (OFA) Division. Eleven of its 14 CNC machine tools featured at the event are paired with automation systems, including three solutions making their debut in the Americas:
- Okuma SmarTwinCell – an entire manufacturing cell managed by Okuma technologies
- Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) – a mobile robot designed to shuttle workpieces between processing stations
- Okuma Robot Loader (ORL) – an easy-to-integrate robot designed to load and unload workpieces from machines
All Okuma CNC machines are equipped with Okuma’s Green Smart Machine technology, a series of combined technologies that harmonize high-performance machining with intelligent energy management controls. Specifically, these technologies include Okuma’s ECO suite plus and Thermo-Friendly Concept, both of which are displayed at IMTS 2024.
Representatives from each of Okuma’s distributors within the Americas are onsite at IMTS 2024.
