Ideal Applications
The iGroove+ Edition is ideal for mold manufacturing, high-precision components, and thick workpieces requiring uniform surface quality throughout the entire height of the workpiece.
Example applications: motor core molds, electronic component molds, and other precision tooling.
OKUMA Techno │ Energy-Saving and Eco-Friendly Manufacturing Solutions
Okuma Techno (Thailand) introduced a range of environmentally conscious and energy-efficient technologies, including the Thermo-Friendly Concept, Servo Navi, and Hyper-Surface, all designed to improve machining precision, productivity, and sustainability.
What is the Thermo-Friendly Concept?
The Thermo-Friendly Concept is Okuma’s proprietary thermal deformation control technology, which integrates machine design with CNC control systems. It enables high-precision and stable machining even under environments with significant temperature fluctuations.
Key Features:
Reduced operator workload and cost efficiency:
No need for machine warm-up or temperature stabilization before operation. Manual adjustments or corrections are unnecessary, ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistent surface quality even during long production cycles.
What is Servo Navi?
Servo Navi is an intelligent control system that automatically optimizes the motion of each machine axis.
It detects and compensates for variations in workpiece or fixture weight, improving production speed and machining accuracy — ideal for heavy workpieces.
▲ ServoNavi usage example
Key Features:
・Work Weight Auto Setting:
Automatically estimates the weight of the workpiece and fixture to optimize servo parameters and acceleration, maintaining accuracy while reducing machining time.
・Reversal Spike Auto Adjustment:
Corrects reversal spikes caused by wear, enhancing machining stability and product quality.
・Vibration Auto Adjustment:
Automatically adjusts servo control in response to vibration or abnormal noise, reducing sound levels and extending machine life.
What is Hyper-Surface?
Hyper-Surface is a CNC-integrated control function that automatically detects irregular toolpaths and feed rate variations from CAM data and corrects them directly within Okuma’s CNC system. It produces smooth surface finishes without the need to modify CAM code.
This significantly reduces polishing time and manual labor, making it ideal for parts that require high surface quality, such as molds, aerospace components, and free-form surfaces.
▲ Example of Hyper-Surface Application
Challenges Solved by Hyper-Surface
| Before | After |
| Unstable motion caused scratches or surface irregularities. | Adjusts position and feed rate precisely. |
| Manual polishing was required, consuming time and effort. | Weakens or compensates for grinding movement as needed. |
| Difficult to machine complex curves or straight lines smoothly. | Maintains constant feed speed, reducing tool tip irregularities and gaps between cutter paths. |
KOMATSU │ Servo Press & Remote Monitoring System “KOMTRAX”
Komatsu Industries is a leading manufacturer of stamping presses and fabricating machines. In Thailand, Komatsu Industries (Thailand) Co., Ltd. handles both sales and after-sales service, maintaining an inventory of essential spare parts for immediate support. The company also operates a showroom showcasing the latest machinery, which helps shorten delivery times. The showroom serves as a center for machine operation training, die trials, and maintenance workshops.
During this seminar, Komatsu introduced its Servo Press and the KOMTRAX Remote Monitoring System.
Why Komatsu’s Servo Press Is Widely Supported
Komatsu’s servo press replaces traditional flywheel + clutch-brake or hydraulic drive systems with a servo motor drive, allowing precise motion control.
It supports high-strength materials and enables flexible slide motion control, meeting the growing demand for high-accuracy processing while improving productivity.
Thanks to its versatility, the servo press can adapt to new manufacturing requirements, making it a next-generation machine tool.
