An Environmentally Responsible Machine Tool (Video)

Okuma’s ECO suite is the next intelligent generation of energy saving machine tool technology. This video provides a quick visual tour of ECO suite’s functionalities, and shows how energy consumption can be reduced by taking advantage of its benefits. ECO suite provides users with a direct and measurable opportunity to save on operations costs while supporting an environmentally responsible machine tool. Shops can save thousands of dollars per year using this technology, which adds up dramatically when using multiple machine tools.

ECO suite Functionalities

Here is a brief recap of ECO suite’s functionalities:

ECO Idling Stop - ECO Idling Stop is the world’s first application that stops machine tool idling and stops peripheral equipment.

ECO Power Monitor - Allows you to see how much energy is being saved – right on the machine tool’s display.

ECO Hydraulics - This optional feature gives you the best of both worlds: accurate control, at a very low rotation speed.

ECO Operation - When using the optional ECO Operation feature, peripheral equipment will only run when needed, and only for the duration required.
