Okuma's OSP controls the machining process and coordinates the activities of the robots, gauges, other machine tools, and reporting tasks. FANUC America's R-30iB controller connects to the THINC control via Ethernet.
FANUC America offers plant automation expertise and industry leadership—all factors that reinforce customer confidence. For over 31 years, FANUC America Corporation has been the number one provider of industrial robots in the Americas to a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical device, pharmaceutical, food, consumer goods, and many more.
