Okuma America Corporation’s OSP-P500 control is designed to enhance user experiences and optimize manufacturing operations. It features dual-core computer processors that provide increased levels of machine processing power by enabling multiple processes to operate simultaneously. This results in reduced cycle times per machined part and shortened production run times. The dual-core processors also provide redundant operations, ensuring uninterrupted machining operations.
The OSP-P500 is fully equipped with digital twin technology, enabling high-precision machining simulations to be created on a computer, while also providing real-time data feedback loops from the operational machine tool to the simulating computer. This feature enables operators to use real-time data to mirror exact machine tool functions and behaviors to optimize performance.
The OSP-P500 is built on a Microsoft Windows open-architecture platform. Coupled with on-board conversational programming capabilities, the OSP-P500 is among the easiest machine controls to program on the market. Additionally, the control features screen tilt and swivel capabilities, providing comfortable machine operation. The control comes in two sizes: 15" screen or 21.5" screen, based on machine size.
The Okuma OSP-P500 is designed with robust protective features to manage data exposure risks, including: 1) tamper-proof protection, 2) whitelisting of the machine’s API, 3) anomaly detection, 4) required operator identification and authentication and 5) regularly scheduled software and data back-ups.
In addition to its machining performance capabilities, the OSP-P500 is also said to be designed with the environment in mind. The new control comes standard with Okuma’s ECO suite plus technology, a collection of digital features that monitor, control and balance energy consumption with optimal machining performance. Additionally, the ECO suite plus application affords the ability to report on CO2 emissions at the machine level.
