DELIVERS PROCESS EFFICIENCIES
AND ENABLES USER INNOVATION

Dramatic paradigm shift from mode–based to process–based
interface is unique in the CNC machine tool industry

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Okuma’s history of introducing innovations in CNC control technology spans
more than 50 years – and the THINC ® -OSP-P300 is the latest breakthrough. The
OSP-P300 brings a dramatic paradigm shift to the marketplace, with a processbased user interface rather than the traditional mode-based operational layout.
The process-based platform is most evident in the EASY OPERATION interface,
which centralizes data in one easy-to-access screen, displacing the cumbersome
process of back-and-forthing through five or six screens. By streamlining process
efficiencies, productivity is greatly increased.

The OSP-P300 is built using the Windows ® -based, open architecture platform used
in all THINC-OSP CNC controls. This fully open system makes it possible to easily
install PC applications that allow for a multitude of conveniences. For example,
users can set up access to tooling lists/setup spreadsheets, process documents,
and how-to videos that assist operators in setup and operation – right at the
CNC machine location. The OSP-P300’s open architecture platform also opens
the doors for users to continually customize operations to suit individual CNC
machining requirements.

Okuma is the industry’s only single-source provider, with the CNC machine,
drive, motors, encoders, spindle and CNC control all manufactured by Okuma.
By having mechanical and electrical under one roof we can ensure optimum
production efficiencies, and also provide ways for customers to customize
processes (for example, with custom app development).
