Okuma has introduced its latest automation solution, the Okuma Gantry Loader (OGL), aiming to enhance the efficiency of CNC machine operations. Designed for overhead loading and unloading, the OGL offers significant space savings and improved operational speed and accuracy.
A notable feature of the OGL is its accessibility for manual intervention, a critical factor during machine set-up, proving processes, and short-run tasks. Despite this access, the solution maintains a strong focus on automation, allowing for higher utilisation rates.
The integration of the gantry loader with the machine’s existing operator-friendly control system simplifies both operation and support tasks. What sets the OGL apart is its modular design, which can be customised with various lengths and gripper options. This adaptability ensures the system can be tailored to different part geometries and handling requirements, meeting diverse manufacturing needs.
Scalability is a key benefit of OGL automation, as it can be connected across multiple Okuma platforms. This includes integration with LB and LT turning centres, LU models, GENOS L series, and MULTUS machines. Such versatility supports a range of both existing setups and future investment plans, making it a sustainable choice for manufacturers looking to enhance productivity.
Manufacturers interested in exploring automated solutions that increase machine utilisation without sacrificing access or operational flexibility are encouraged to reach out for more information.
