Features

Excellent machining accuracy

Based on the highly rigid and highly accurate mechanical structure including the table, sliding surface, and feed shaft, this product pursues high processing accuracy from all aspects, such as improving positioning accuracy and reducing the effects of thermal displacement. The G series achieves JIS class 3 for high-precision gears and JIS class 5 [JIS B 1702 (1998)] for high production gears.
In addition, repeatability of processing precision is guaranteed to be Cp=1.33 for an overball diameter tolerance of 50 μm. Meets the needs of high precision.

Repeatability of processing precision (overball diameter) example

Stable processing quality is maintained by thorough measures against thermal deformation.

Dimensional changes to the processed workpiece are due to mechanical and thermal deformation that is caused when cutting fluid warmed by the processing heat is applied to the upper surface of the bed. To prevent this, by circulating the coolant in the bed, the heat distribution is made uniform and thermal deformation is minimized.
