Free App Displays Scheduled Maintenance Reminders
October 1, 2014
Okuma America Corporation now offers an app designed to maximize productivity by displaying scheduled maintenance and inspection reminders on the user's THINC-OSP control. Developed by Okuma's Applications Engineers, the Scheduled Maintenance App is available for free download in Okuma's recently launched App Store at www.MyOkuma.com.
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 machine tool directly on the control without interrupting programming.
Features of Okuma's Scheduled Maintenance Reminders:
- Logged job records to assist with troubleshooting issues
- Reminders that are preprogrammed and based on the specific machine and serial number.
The Scheduled Maintenance App automatically appears on the control when maintenance is needed based on the requirements 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 customized, periodic maintenance reminders that the operator selects upon installation. Daily reminders include routine checks for chuck/tailstock pressure, coolant/oil levels and more, which can be programmed and scheduled to appear based on user preference. Once the maintenance has been performed, the operator checks off the tasks and minimizes the app. Both the Scheduled Maintenance reminders and the Daily Scheduled Maintenance reminders are available in one combined app.
The Scheduled Maintenance App is available for a variety of Okuma lathes, multifunction machines and machining centers equipped with the THINC-OSP-P200 or -P300 control. Apps like these are possible because of the THINC-OSP control's open-architecture platform.
