The new Crysta-Apex S ¸ßÅâÂÊÁùºÏ²Ê from Mitutoyo America Corporation is designed to increase performance and economy in the 1.7-μm class of CNC ¸ßÅâÂÊÁùºÏ²Ês. The ¸ßÅâÂÊÁùºÏ²Ê features a maximum error of MPEE = (1.7+3L/1000) μm. A high-speed (maximum of 519 mm/s) and high-acceleration (maximum of 2,309 mm/s2) drive increases throughput and productivity while lowering total owning and operating costs, the company says.
A UC-400 controller manages digital servo system control loops for position, speed and current while easing implementation of various types of control algorithms. The digital servo system is designed with a wide dynamic range and resistance to drift over time.
The Y-axis guide rail is integrated into one side of the granite surface plate. Precision air bearings located on the bottom, front, rear and upper surfaces of the X-axis slider minimize vibration and ensure stability even during high-speed, high-acceleration operation, the company says. Accuracy is further enhanced by a temperature compensation system consisting of a thermometer unit that measures the temperatures from workpiece thermal sensors as well as thermal sensors located on the scale units of the ¸ßÅâÂÊÁùºÏ²Ê main unit. The temperature data is transferred to the controller for thermal compensation. For proper workpiece compensation, the thermal-expansion coefficient of the workpiece material is entered by the user.
