Okuma America Corp. recently introduced the Okuma Robotic Leader, or ORL, collection of automation. It consists of 3 exclusive items made to fill and discharge work surfaces from Okuma makers to raise performance and driver performance, claimed the firm.

” Our group is thrilled to bring the ORL collection to market and display its capacities at IMTS 2024,” stated Wade Anderson, vice head of state of design at Okuma America’s Manufacturing facility Automation Department. “With its small impact and simple assimilation procedure, an ORL device can rapidly make an effect for factory of any type of dimension.”

The Charlotte, N.C.-based company is a department of Okuma Corp., a supplier of computer system numeric control (CNC) device devices, controls, and automation systems established in 1898 in Nagoya, Japan. It additionally makes CNC controls, drives, electric motors, encoders, and pins.

On top of that, the company released the Okuma App Store in 2014, and it has a distribution network and a Partners in Technology (previously Companions in THINC) network for makers in the Americas.

Okuma to introduce 3 robotics at IMTS

At the International Production Modern Technology Program (IMTS) following month in Chicago, the Manufacturing facility Automation Department will certainly reveal its brand-new ORL line of product:

• Okuma Robotic Loader– Cabinet ( ORL-D): This is a drawer-style device with a basic theme that can accumulate to 92 work surfaces. The firm additionally provides an optional theme that stands up to 180 smaller sized work surfaces.
• Okuma Robotic Loader– Rotating ( ORL-R): This rotating, disc-style work surface storage space device has a range of theme choices that can stand up to 166 work surfaces.
• Okuma Robotic Loader– Machining Facility ( ORL-MC): This storage space device can stand up to 288 work surfaces. The firm claimed its trademarked MultiGrip workholding permits individuals to automate several OP10, OP20, and OP30 component numbers in high-mix, low-volume production.

Okuma claimed each ORL item has actually been purposefully made with a small impact, calling for just in between 8 and 9 sq. ft. (0.7 to 0.8 sq. m) of flooring room. On top of that, each item utilizes FANUC commercial robotic arms and grippers, which can hold a haul of approximately 25 pound. (11.3 kg).

Components dealing with to be shown

Okuma claimed it made these machines to function together with its existing line of items. As an example, it will certainly demonstrate its ORL-R robotic with the MULTUS B300II multitasking device to tons and discharge components.

At the exact same time, a coming with collaborative robot will certainly move the components from a cart relocated by an independent mobile robotic (AMR) right into among the device’s pallet cabinets.

Additionally at IMTS, the firm will certainly combine the ORL-MC with a GENOS M560V0-5AX five-axis upright machining facility plus an automated device changer (ATC). The device will certainly fill and discharge trial components from the device onto the ORL pallets.

The ORL-MC will certainly additionally switch over the workholding in the device based upon which reducing procedure will certainly be executed on the component, claimed Okuma.

The message Okuma launches parts handling robots to complement its CNC line showed up initially on The Robot Report.
