Okuma is equipping its high-precision CNC machine tools with the energy-saving technologies of ECO Suite Plus , significantly contributing to customers ’ efforts to decarbonise their production processes . The ECO Power Monitor enables companies to implement energy-saving measures based on their production data . Okuma ’ s self-developed OSP control records and logs each machine ’ s operating status , CO2 emissions and power consumption . This wealth of data can be analysed and displayed via the ECO Power Monitor , allowing targeted adjustments to resource requirements . This is the basis for the ECO Idling Stop : with this feature , the machine automatically detects the operating status , identifies unnecessary components , and puts them into idle mode when necessary . Since a machine tool ’ s auxiliary equipment usually consumes a significant amount of energy , this technology allows the machine to be operated in a much more climate-friendly and cost-effective way .
