5-Axis Auto Tuning System—Actual Examples

5-Axis Auto Tuning in multi-sided machining with tools (table) tilted at different angles for each surface significantly reduces boundary error in the machined surfaces.

Quick and easy tuning by anyone

Let the machine do the tuning for you in about 10 minutes.^*

Surprisingly simple with “Easy Operation” OSP.

*Measurement time when tuning for 11 types of geometric error in “Full” mode with MU-V series machines.
Measurement time changes depending on the machine type and measurement mode.
In “Simple” mode, tuning for 4 types of geometric error takes about 5 minutes.

Takes 5-axis machining accuracy to next level

Tuning of up to 11 types of geometric error

Manual tuning has been a bothersome and time-consuming task, and so the geometric error for which tuning could be done was limited to only 4 types of center position error of the spindle axis. Moreover, while the working time could be shortened with general automatic tuning functions, the accuracy remained at the level achieved with manual work.
With the 5-Axis Auto Tuning System, the machine automatically tunes the machine for up to 11 types^* of geometric error.

*With 5-Axis Auto Tuning System for multitasking machines, the maximum is 10 types.

High-accuracy 5-axis machining maintained over long periods

Even machines with little geometric error at the time of delivery are affected by changes in the floor and other factors over the long term, and geometric error becomes larger. The accuracy of 5-axis machines is also affected by changes in temperature and other factors.
Okuma's 5-axis machines maintain high-accuracy 5-axis machining over long-term operation with synergistic effects from the 5-Axis Auto Tuning System, which maximizes machining accuracy, and the Thermo-Friendly Concept that maintains high accuracy.

Also effective for the periphery of large workpieces

The effect of geometric error tends to be large on the periphery of 5-axis machining center tables.
In this case, the 5-Axis Auto Tuning System is highly effective.
