Okuma's New Line of Robot Loaders Work on New and Old Machines
Okuma America Corporation will launch a new line of automated robotics -- the Okuma Robot Loader (ORL) series at IMTS 2024.
The new ORL product series includes three products, all of which are designed to seamlessly load and unload workpieces from both new and pre-existing Okuma machines to increase productivity and aid operators' efficiency.
The new ORL product family includes:
- ORL-D -- Okuma Robot Loader -- Drawer, a drawer-style workpiece storage unit with a standard template that holds up to 92 workpieces. An optional template can be purchased that holds up to 180 smaller workpieces.
- ORL-R -- Okuma Robot Loader -- Rotary, a disc-style workpiece storage unit with a variety of template options that can hold up to 166 workpieces.
- ORL-MC -- Okuma Robot Loader -- Machining Center, a workholding and workpiece storage unit for up to 288 workpieces. Patented MultiGrip™ workholding allows users to automate multiple OP10/OP20/OP30 part numbers in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.
Each ORL product has been strategically designed with a compact footprint, requiring only between eight and nine feet of floor space. Additionally, each product utilizes industry-leading FANUC industrial robot arms and grippers which can hold a payload of up to 25 pounds.
