Okuma to host Summer Showcase July 19-20

CNC machine tool manufacturer Okuma America Corp. will host a Summer Showcase July 19-20 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at its headquarters in Charlotte, N.C. Participants will learn about the benefits of implementing CNC technologies and will view cutting demonstrations on more than 20 machine tools.

Educational sessions will include:

• Okuma’s New Technology: The Laser EX series combines subtractive and additive manufacturing, coating, and precision hardening on multitasking machines.
• IIoT: Okuma offers IIoT and MTConnect to simplify the process of connecting machine tools. Hear how customers are using data collection and analysis to help improve profitability.
• Sandvik Coromant Prime Turning™: This new methodology enables turning in all directions as opposed to conventional turning, which can reduce cycle time up to 50 percent.
• Trochoidal Milling: Laine Mears from CU-ICAR (Clemson University, International Center for Automotive Research) will explain how trochoidal milling allows for higher feeds and speeds and how this method and other alternative tool paths fit into the framework of cost-driven machining planning.

The Okuma-sponsored Richard Childress Racing #3 Chevy and Chip Ganassi Racing NTT DATA IndyCar will be on display for photos. Lunch will be provided daily.
