Production Automation

Scalable Automation for Lights-Out Manufacturing

Okuma Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS)

Okuma’s FMS solutions deliver scalable, high-volume production with automated pallet handling and lights-out capability. These systems integrate with machining centers to reduce idle time and optimize throughput. Okuma offers flexible FMS options from EROWA, Fastems, and Daifuku to suit different shop sizes, workflows, and production goals.

Famar Automated Turning Centers

Famar’s inverted vertical lathes, also known as vertical pick-up turning machines, are purpose built for high-volume machining of complex parts. Each turning center features built-in automation and supports multiple operations in a single clamping for fully unattended, efficient production.

Okuma FMS – Daifuku Flexible Manufacturing Systems

The Daifuku FMS is a pallet-based automation system designed to run high-mix, variable-volume production across multiple Okuma machining centers. 

With a compact footprint and a modular layout, the system can be configured to match your space and production needs. Inline or transverse pallet arrangements give it the flexibility to fit tight shop floors. 

Fully integrated with Okuma’s THINC-OSP controls, the FMS uses a centralized pallet pool controller to automate scheduling and job routing without operator intervention.

Okuma FMS – EROWA Robot Dynamic 150L

The Robot Dynamic 150L is a modular automation system designed to load and unload workpieces up to 331 lbs (150 kg). It integrates seamlessly with up to 12 machines, including Okuma machining centers, and supports batch sizes as small as one.

With a compact footprint and scalable rail system up to 98 feet (30 meters), the 150L is ideal for lights-out, high-mix production. Its rack magazine configurations, ergonomic loading stations, and RFID part tracking make it an efficient and user-friendly automation solution.

The system runs on EROWA’s JMS® 4.0 software, which keeps production flowing with live job status, tool tracking, and automatic job prioritization even across night and weekend shifts.

Okuma FMS – Fastems Flexible Pallet System

The FPS is a modular pallet automation system built for 4- and 5-axis milling or mill-turn Okuma machines. It fits shop floors with tight footprints thanks to its 360-degree layout.

Available for pallet sizes from 11.8 to 24.8 inches, the FPS be expanded or reconfigured to match changing production needs.

The system is powered by Fastems’ MMS software, which gives operators a real-time view of production and automatically schedules the next job to keep output on track.
