All machines have been carefully designed and produced with the most up to date advances available in mechanical and electronic technology. The main frame of the machine is cast from Meehanite for long-term stability, rigidity under heavy cutting conditions. The column is internally ribbed for achieving an excellent damping effect with an extra wide column base to maximize the cutting rigidity.
All axis incorporate the latest NR type linear motion guide ways from THK giving low friction, low noise and smoother movement in high-speed traverse. Hardened and ground ball screws are precisely pre-tensioned at both ends, supported by angular contact thrust bearings with directly coupled high response AC Siemens / AC Fanuc Alpha drives, giving outstanding positioning and repeatability characteristics, exceeding ISO 10791-4
The FV range of machines with the uniquely designed IDD spindle directly coupled to the motor reduces thermal distortion and increases spindle life.
