Okuma has developed the OSP-AI Diagnostics Technology system as a practical application of AI (artificial intelligence) for machine tools, an enhancement of its Intelligence Technology.
OSP-AI is a technology that self-diagnoses machine abnormalities to determine the status of feed axis conditions that are often difficult even for veteran maintenance personnel to identify. It is based on a sophisticated knowledge of basic mechanical properties, and with Deep Learning-infused artificial intelligence it provides highly-reliable self-diagnostics.
AI has been incorporated into machine tool CNC systems for the first time in the world, and different lamp colors are displayed for normal and abnormal diagnostic results. Different lamp sizes also make it easy to determine different diagnostic certainty levels. This enables beneficial, preventive maintenance that doesn’t require expert knowledge or special measuring devices.
