From a world of sub-micrometer to another of nanometers.
The world highest level of machining precision has been achieved thanks to motion control by a minimum unit of 0.07 nm (0.00000007 mm), made possible by integration of Sodick's core technologies.

• Five-axis control as standard function
  Five-axis control of A and C axes in addition to X, Y and Z axes enables lathe machining by turning workpieces as well as machining with rotating tools such as end mills and grinders.
• Motion control by minimum unit of 0.07 nm (0.00000007 mm)
  Use of ceramics for key structural components minimizes the thermal displacement of the machine to realize machining to an ultra-high precision.
• Smooth axial drive and excellent response
  The combination of air bearings of ceramics with linear motors eliminates contact portions from drive systems to realize smooth, high-response, no-backlash and ultra-high-precision axial drive.
• Maintenance-free design
  Unprecedented accuracy, both static and dynamic, has been realized and is maintained over a long period.
• Active removal of vibration
  Active vibration-free equipment provided on X, Y and Z axes minimizes most of ground vibration and other external vibration, realizing excellent surface accuracy.
• Precise control of air temperature (within ±0.01ºC)
  Precise control of the temperature of the air supplied to the production machine (within ±0.01ºC) enables machining to an ultra-high precision and with good reproducibility.
