STANDROID Installation, Retrofit & Repair
Independent installation, retrofit and repair for Okuma’s STANDROID standalone robot package — including the control electronics, servo drives and sensors behind it.
What STANDROID Is
STANDROID is Okuma’s standalone robot package — a free-standing six-axis arm paired with an integrated workpiece stocker, designed specifically for high-mix, low-to-medium volume production. Unlike ARMROID, it isn’t built into the machine tool at the factory: it’s a genuinely retrofittable cell that can be added to a compatible existing machine, which is the core of what we help with.
STANDROID was designed to be “teaching-less” — it runs on a global-first Robot Operating System (ROS) integration that lets an operator handle it with the same ease as running the machine tool itself, without robot programming experience. The whole robot, stocker and related equipment packages into a footprint of roughly two pallets, and because it’s a self-contained cell, it can even be relocated by forklift. Okuma’s own documentation describes setup in three steps — positioning, installation/wiring, then simple operation through ROID Navi — with no third-party systems integrator required.
We handle both sides of that: installing and commissioning STANDROID on a compatible machine that doesn’t have it yet, and repairing the control electronics on units already in service. We are an independent service provider, not an authorized Okuma dealer or service partner — see our retrofit & modernization and testing & diagnostics services for more on how we approach this kind of work.
The Compact Automated Cell (CAC) Package
STANDROID ships as a packaged cell rather than a collection of separate parts, which is a large part of why it installs quickly. Here’s what’s inside, and what we support on each piece.
6-Axis Robot Arm
The free-standing arm itself, with signal confirmation already completed at the factory before it ships.
Integrated Workpiece Stocker
Positioned by pins for easy relocation, holding raw and finished parts within the cell’s footprint.
ROID Navi Programming
The same guided interface used on ARMROID — no separate robot programming language to learn.
Collision-Free Control
Automatically generates the shortest non-interfering motion path in a tight, fence-free space.
What We Repair on STANDROID
Because STANDROID shares its programming interface with the OSP control, most faults trace back to a specific board, drive or sensor rather than the arm itself. Here’s what we work on.
Robot Control Interface Boards
The boards that let the ROS-based robot controller communicate with the machine’s OSP control. Faults here typically show up as the robot failing to respond to commands.
Joint Servo Drives
Amplifiers that drive each of the arm’s six joints (J1–J6). A single failed drive typically shows up as one joint losing position or refusing to move.
Joint Encoders & Feedback
Report each joint’s exact position back to the control. A failing encoder causes drift that’s easy to mistake for mechanical wear.
ROID Navi Interface & Display
The guided programming interface for the cell. We repair the display and interface boards behind it.
Workpiece Stocker Sensors
Sensors that track parts moving through the integrated stocker. A fault here can stop the cycle or cause a mispick.
Power Supply Units
Regulates voltage to the robot’s control and drive electronics — one of the first things we check on any fault.
Common STANDROID Faults
One joint loses position or won’t move
Usually a single joint’s servo drive or encoder rather than the whole arm — we test each joint’s drive electronics individually before recommending a repair.
Cell stops or won’t run in automatic mode
Often traced to the collision-free control system or a communication fault between the robot controller and the OSP, rather than a mechanical jam.
ROID Navi interface unresponsive or frozen
Display and interface board faults are common on units that have been running for years — usually repairable at board level.
Stocker misfeeds or positioning errors
Usually a sensor or drive fault at the stocker rather than a problem with the parts themselves — we test each independently.
See our fault analysis service for more on how we approach a STANDROID diagnosis.
Compatible Okuma Machines
STANDROID connects to a specific set of Okuma vertical machining and mill-turn platforms.
MB & GENOS M Series
MB-46V, MB-56V, GENOS M460V and GENOS M560V vertical machining centers.
GENOS L3000
Entry-level universal lathe platform, also offered as a factory-packaged GENOS L3000-e STANDROID combination.
MU-S600V & MU-4000V
5-axis machining centers with STANDROID compatibility for complex-part automation.
How STANDROID Installation & Repair Works
New installation and repair follow different paths, but both start the same way: tell us what you need.
Tell Us the Goal
New installation on a compatible machine, or a fault on an existing STANDROID cell — plus your OSP control generation.
We Scope the Work
For installs, we confirm machine compatibility and package fit. For repairs, we identify the faulty board or drive.
Install, Commission or Repair
On-site installation and commissioning, or component-level bench repair — whichever the job calls for.
Tested Before Handover
Verified under load — running production cycles, not just powered on — before we call it done.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We are an independent service company, not an authorized Okuma dealer, distributor or service partner. We install, retrofit and repair STANDROID cells on compatible machines.
Yes, provided your machine is on the compatible list (MB-46V, MB-56V, GENOS M460V/M560V, GENOS L3000, MU-S600V or MU-4000V). Unlike ARMROID, STANDROID is a genuinely standalone, retrofittable cell — that’s the whole point of the design.
No — that’s one of STANDROID’s core design goals. The cell ships pre-configured with signal confirmation already done, so installation is positioning, wiring and setup through ROID Navi, not a custom integration project.
Our repair focus is the control electronics, servo drives, sensors and interface boards — the parts of a STANDROID fault that are almost always the root cause of a cell that’s stopped working. We don’t perform mechanical arm repairs.
Okuma’s own documentation describes STANDROID setup as achievable in as little as one day once the cell is on-site, given its packaged design. We’ll give you a realistic estimate once we know your specific machine and layout.
