Virtual, Global Showroom 

Visitors can experience Okuma’s showroom at their convenience with a self-guided tour. A helpful navigational guide allows visitors to explore various areas of the showroom which include machines, technologies, service programs, podcasts, partner highlights, machine specials, and an overview of Okuma’s industry-leading distribution network. More specifically, visitors have the opportunity to view in-depth machine videos, interact with 360-degree machine renderings, and chat with Okuma experts during the tour. 

Hybrid machining demos

View video presentations by ModuleWorks and Open Mind Technologies USA to learn more about hybrid manufacturing. The videos are presented here as a video supplement to the hybrid machining article in the October 2020 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering.

MCR-S Double Column Machining Center

Okuma’s MCR-S roughs and finishes press dies in one setup and is designed for heavy duty machining of process-intensive press dies. It features full 5-face and 5-axis machining and is excellent for die repair work. The MCR-S accommodates a wide range of stamping die requirements making it an ideal fit for the automotive and aerospace industries. It can easily handle hardened cast iron, nonferrous and exotic materials.

CNC Training Includes 5-axis Simulation

Growing interest in 5-axis machining continues as more operations look to produce complex parts used in high-tech industries, such as aerospace and medical devices. As this sector of the machine tool business increases, the demand for 5-axis operators will exponentially grow. Finding qualified workers to fill these positions will challenge many employers, who are already facing a tight labor market due to the widely known manufacturing skills gap issue.

Full-diameter slotting of steel

ProvenCut recipe 551 shows how to achieve a high material removal rate while maintaining a reliable cut using a light-duty machine with a 6.35 mm (0.25") endmill to slot 4140 alloy steel.

The video, a supplement to our Shop Operations column in the June 2020 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering, shows the slotting operation in action. To learn more about when full-diameter steel slotting is the only option, read the related Shop Operations column.
