"Green-Smart Machine" Declaration
As a step towards turning the decarbonized society into reality, Okuma has defined "Green-Smart Machine" as intelligent machine tools that contribute to resolving environmental issues by autonomously achieving both stable dimensional accuracy and reduced energy usage, and the company offers a full product lineup.
Okuma has been using automation and process integration as a part of its effort to reduce energy usage while still achieving high-productivity, high-accuracy machining for becoming carbon neutral at three Japan plants which are its main production bases. In addition to these measures, Okuma will start using green energy from October 2022, and its three plants in Japan will become carbon neutral plants ahead of schedule.
Okuma will produce these products in its carbon-neutral factories and provide them to the world, and together with its customers, Okuma will contribute to offering solutions for the social issues faced by the manufacturing industry.
Green-Smart Machine
for realizing a decarbonized society
Achieve both high-accuracy and decarbonization (energy saving).
Support factory decarbonization.
Both stable accuracy and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
The workpiece machining accuracy changes significantly due to machine ambient temperatures, heat generated from in-machine components and cutting. The idea behind Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept is simply "accepting" these temperature changes so that high accuracy can be achieved in normal factory environments without requiring special customer preparations. Maintaining excellent accuracy stability is possible without relying on excessive ambient temperature control from machine cooling systems and factory air conditioners.

The "ECO suite plus" retains the concept of achieving both high machining accuracy stability and energy savings (less carbon dioxide emissions) achieved by the Thermo-Friendly Concept and the "ECO suite" that was put into practical use in 2014. It is an energy-saving system with enhanced high-accuracy/-productive functionality and advanced eco-friendly support.
