Linear scales deliver micron precision in machining center

Positional accuracy of ±5 µm is delivered with speeds up to 30 m/min through a combination of linear scales on all axes driven by larger motors and drives in the German-made Datron M10 Pro series.

Available in the U.S. through Datron Dynamics Inc. (Milford, NH), the M10 Pro has a direct-drive, liquid-chilled, 40,000-rpm spindle using HSK-25E tool holders with <1 µm run-out. High-speed CNC control is featured for three to six axes.

Employing a gantry construction, the M10 Pro has a maximized work area of 40 by 28 inches while using a floor space footprint of just 79 by 83 inches. Added functionality like palletized work-holding and advanced probing is available for manufacturers looking to reduce setup time and increase part quality and uniformity. —immeditorial@cancom.com
