Okuma America launches web-based machine selector tool

CNC machine tool manufacturer Okuma America Corp., Charlotte, N.C., has launched a web-based machine selector tool at www.okuma.com/machine-selector. The tool helps users find the machine tools most suited to their specific manufacturing needs.

Users begin by selecting the machine type: lathe, machining center, grinder, double-column, or 5-axis machine. They then choose parameters based on machine type, such as chuck size, turning diameter, turning length, bar diameter, spindle speed, and table size. Additional options may include live tooling, secondary spindle, and automatic tool changers.

The machine selector then populates a list of all the available Okuma machines that meet the specific requirements submitted. Complete machine descriptions and any related video demonstrations are displayed, and users can access additional information and detailed specifications for individual machines by clicking on the machine photos.
