Main Features

  • Three-sided vertically moving automatic machining tank that enables flexible usages for automated and labor-saving operations
    A three-sided vertically moving automatic machining tank simplifies complicated setup procedures.  A high-speed multi-joint robot enables flexible usage for automated and labor-saving operation to facilitate production improvement.
  • Steadying systems that strongly support further evolution of machining performance
    A cooling system for the dielectric fluid manages the fluid temperature more accurately and stably than ever, and a newly developed unique cooling system stabilizes the operation by the linear motor, irrespective of the machining conditions and machining circumstances.  These realize enhanced precision in the ultra-precision and microscopic machining as well as stable performance during long continuous machining by automated operation.
  • "SVC circuit" as a standard function
    The SVC circuit realizes high-quality surface finish with a uniform distribution of discharge marks and even surface quality to shorten machining lead-time and significantly contribute to enhancing and stabilizing product quality.
