A Gold Mine of Information
12.20.2016
As a maintenance technician you need to know some basic operation procedures to be able to perform preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and proper operation of machine tool functions. Having the correct information before you turn on the control can keep you safe and allow you to operate your Okuma correctly. The manual that comes with your Okuma is a gold mine of valuable information, even for experienced operators.
Read Your Machine Tool Manual
Okuma supplies a CD and hard copy manuals with each machine tool purchase. One of the manuals you should first become familiar with is the “Operation & Maintenance” manual, which in this example (GENOS M Series) is named as follows:
Vertical Machining Center
GENOS-M Series
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
(5th Edition)
Pub No. 6294-E-R4 (ME12-022-R5) Nov. 2015
This contains pertinent safety information, installation requirements, preventive maintenance, machine layout drawings and instructions for operation of the particular machine tool you own. You’ll see how to manually engage the spindle, tool change, axis movement and more.
The next time you your distributor service technician visits, take a few moments to go over any questions you may have for using this manual. The more informed you are, the safer and more effective you’ll be in operating your Okuma machine tool.
