Okuma offers free maintenance reminder app for use with Okuma THINC-OSP controls

Depending on the particular maintenance that needs to be performed, service recommendations can be displayed on a daily basis or intermittently throughout the life of the Okuma CNC machine tool directly on the CNC control without interrupting programming. The scheduled maintenance app features logged job records to assist with troubleshooting issues and reminders that are preprogrammed and based on the specific machine and serial number. It appears automatically on the CNC control when maintenance is needed based on the needs of the particular machine. It shows all of the maintenance tasks set for that specific machine by the Okuma software department. If tasks cannot be completed that particular day, the user has the option to choose when to receive the next reminder or can dismiss the warning. Users can also opt for customised, periodic maintenance reminders that the operator selects upon installation. Daily reminders include routine checks for chuck/tailstock pressure, coolant/oil levels, etc, that can be programmed and scheduled to appear based on user preference. Once the maintenance has been performed, the operator checks off the tasks and minimises the app. The Okuma Scheduled Maintenance App is available for a variety of CNC lathes, multifunction machines, and machining centres equipped with the Okuma THINC OSP- P200 or 300 CNC control. Apps like this are only possible using Okuma's THINC-OSP CNC control because of its open architecture platform. Both the scheduled maintenance reminders and the daily scheduled maintenance reminders are available in one combined app. Developed by Okuma application engineers, the Scheduled Maintenance App is available for free download through the Okuma website.
