Complete control — always at your fingertips Smart factories are using advanced digitization and networking (IIoT) in manufacturing to achieve enhanced productivity and added value.
The OSP has evolved tremendously as a CNC suited to advanced intelligent technology. Okuma’s new control uses the latest CPUs for a
tremendous boost in operability, rendering performance, and processing speed. The OSP suite also features a full range of useful apps that
could only come from a machine tool manufacturer, making smart manufacturing a reality.

Increased productivity through visualization of motor power reserve

The specified spindle output (red line: short time rating, green line: continuous

displayed on the screen, for real-time view of power reserve during cutting.
This allows speeding up cutting by increasing the spindle speed or feed rate
while monitoring the graph to ensure that the blue circle does not cross the lines.
