Okuma's New Intelligent Technology ServoNavi® Shortens Cycle Times and Achieves Higher CNC Machining Accuracies
High precision technology is ideal for maintaining long term accuracy, surface quality and cutting precise, heavy parts.
Charlotte, NC September 17, 2015
Okuma America Corporation, a world-leader in CNC machine tool manufacturing, introduces ServoNavi, a new Intelligent Technology that improves cycle times and accuracy when machining heavy parts. ServoNavi is the fifth option available in Okumas set of performance-enhancing "Intelligent Technologies" and is standard on most machining centers, lathes and multitasking machines equipped with the OSP-P300 control.
ServoNavi Highlights
Work Weight Auto Setting: Automatically estimates table loads, adjusting for optimal speed resulting in faster cycle times. This function is ideal for dies requiring surface shaping.
Auto Inertia Setting: Estimates chuck and workpiece speed and direction, automatically changing servo parameter settings to optimum values to reduce positioning errors. High accuracy and stable movement are maintained during machining.
Reversal Spike Adjustment: Maintains machining accuracy and surface quality by fine tuning slide resistance changes that occur over time due to various machine tool applications. Decreases reversal spikes and eliminates crease marks during axis reversal, resulting in better surface finishes.
Vibration Auto Adjustment: Eliminates noise and vibration which contributes to longer machine life while improving surface quality.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
