5-Axis Auto Tuning System

Higher accuracies in 5-axis machining

Five-axis machining accuracy is greatly affected by rotary axis misalignment and other
geometric errors.
Okuma's 5-Axis Auto Tuning System measures geometric error using a touch probe
and datum sphere, and performs compensation using the measured results to tune
motion accuracy on 5-axis machines.
In this way 5-axis machining accuracy on a higher level is achieved.

Quick and easy tuning by anyone

Previously, manual measurements of the indexing center were bothersome and timeconsuming, but with the 5-Axis Auto Tuning System the measurements are made
automatically by the machine. Measurements can therefore be done with stable
accuracy in a short time by anyone. In addition, the results of tuning are applied
regardless of whether the operation is in auto, manual, or MDI and whether Tool Center
Point Control is on or off. Setup and machining can therefore be done with the same
operations as before.
