Productivity

Relentless pursuit of high productivity by speeding up and optimizing integrated mechanical-electrical development

It achieves overwhelmingly high productivity by taking advantage of the strengths of integrated mechanical-electrical development, such as high acceleration and deceleration spindles, high-speed and optimization of tool change operations, and inertia estimation function.

High acceleration and deceleration spindle

The low-inertia spindle and high-acceleration/deceleration spindle motors enable high-speed start/stop of the spindle.

Spindle start/stop time
0.15s or less *1

*1. This is the value of the high torque specification

High-speed tool change

Taking advantage of the strengths of integrated mechanical-electrical development, we have achieved high-speed tool change with high acceleration and deceleration and optimal operation.

Tool change time
Tool – Tool: 1.1s Chip – Chip: 2.4s

High-speed B-axis table

The B-axis table uses a roller gear cam mechanism to achieve both durability and high speed. High-speed indexing is achieved with a maximum rotation speed of 100 min-1.

By performing the tool change operation and the B-axis indexing at the same time, the wasted time is further reduced.

In addition, depending on the processing load, it is possible to process only by holding the motor torque without using a clamping mechanism.

B-axis table indexing time *2
0 → 90°: 1.0s 0 → 180°: 1.1s

*2 Values in standard inertia mode.

Inertia estimation function for B-axis tables

It is equipped with an inertia estimation function that estimates the inertia of the jig mounted on the B-axis table. Depending on the magnitude of the inertia, the optimum acceleration can be achieved, which can improve productivity.*3

*3. Parameter settings need to be changed

Machining Capacity

High-efficiency spindle motor and optimal machine design provide high machining capacity

In addition to being equipped with a high-efficiency, high-output spindle motor such as a newly developed 12,000 min-1 standard spindle motor and a newly developed high-rigidity spindle, we are working to achieve both high-speed performance and mechanical rigidity using the CAE analysis technology cultivated by SPEEDIO.

Combined with a B-axis table with 7MPa high-pressure coolant and high clamping torque, it demonstrates high machining capacity.

High-efficiency spindle motor

Newly developed 12,000min-1Specifications (standard) and maximum torque of 92 N·m in 10,000 min-1 It is equipped with a high-efficiency spindle motor such as a high-torque version (optional). The high spindle torque in the medium-to-high-speed rotation range makes it effective for high-speed, high-efficiency construction of aluminum and steel.

12,000min^-1 (Standard)
Maximum torque: 40Nm, Maximum output: 18.9kW

10,000min^-1 High Torque (Optional)
Maximum torque: 92Nm, Maximum output: 26.2kW

Optimal mechanical design and high rigidity spindle

We are achieving both high-speed performance and mechanical rigidity by optimizing the shape of the casting by making full use of CAE analysis. The newly developed spindle has a higher clamping force than the conventional SPEEDIO, and the spindle with high torque has the largest bearing diameter in the SPEEDIO. As a result, it exhibits high machining capability from high-efficiency machining to heavy-duty machining.

Operability

Intuitive operation is realized with a new app function and a 15-inch LCD screen with a vertical touch panel.
In the setup, processing adjustment, production, and recovery processes, it is possible to proceed with lean work, contributing to improved work efficiency and utilization rate.
Workability is improved by placing an operation panel on the side of the machine.

Home screen

New user interface

A new support app has been established that consolidates related functions and improves operability and visibility through visual display, and is equipped with convenient functions such as a calculator, notepad, and file viewer, and the operation on the conventional screen is easy with a touch panel, greatly improving usability.

Mechanical Specifications

*1 The maximum mass of the tool varies depending on the shape, center of gravity, etc., so it should be considered as a reference value only.
*2 The output of the spindle motor varies depending on the rotation speed.
