GF AgieCharmilles’ OSS (Operator Support System) automatically configures cutting parameters to optimize machine performance based on specific job requirements.

Standard on any high speed or high performance machining centre, OSS provides users with an intuitive interface for entering data that is then used to tailor machining processes. When using OSS, operators are asked to rank the relative priority of a job’s accuracy, cutting time and surface quality. The system offers twelve initial presets, with the ability to save additional customized settings.

once aspects of the job have been prioritized, OSS adjusts the dynamic behaviour of the machine to provide optimum results. OSS provides significant reductions to cycle times and improvements to surface quality. The automated nature of the system eliminates much of the time an operator would traditionally spend to maximize cutting data.
