| As machines become more complex, involving additional axes, automation and setup changing, there is more room for human error to occur. Many applications and development tools concentrate on the cutting portion of a program and forget about additional peripherals and work holding that can collide with a spindle or tool. Our Collision Avoidance System (CAS) incorporates 3D modeling of Okuma machines, blanks and tooling, along with the power of the THINC-OSP Control to create a virtual machine. By running the real-time virtual application seconds ahead of the actual cutting, interference can be detected early and the machine safely stopped before a costly collision occurs. CAS generates the actual and exact shape of the materials after a cut to confirm that no interference takes place. Virtual Modeling requires exacting dimensions and definitions that only Okuma and the One Source design process can deliver. | The CAS creates accurate virtual applications that can be run prior to actual cutting. These 3D modeled simulations provide the information you need to make the most efficient and accurate cuts while avoiding costly collisions that can damage your productivity. Okuma’s CAS works exclusively with Okuma machine tools. Because we manufacture our own machine tools, only we can provide the exact machine dimensions and information needed to create precision applications. Plus, we know best how to integrate software with our machines to deliver finished parts quickly, accurately and on budget. Okuma’s Collision Avoidance System is the practical application of that expertise. |
