    Parallel link machine

    XT500S1/700S1

    Product catalog (PDF)

    New concept machine that dramatically improves machining efficiency

    It is critical to reduce the non-cutting time and minimize changeovers of a machine to increase efficiency. Reducing the number of changeovers reduces dimensional errors caused by multiple set ups as well as time. Our parallel link machine allows one time setup for machining of five surfaces, and easily handles compound angle machining.

    The parallel link module can be utilized on all sizes of parts, either in a standard machine tool set up, or designed into special applications to machine large components.

    Geometric accuracy / Machining accuracy

    It has a high-rigid roller screw and a temperature compensation on each axis, with highly accurate positioning and repeatability.

    Repeatability

    We have succeeded in combining the high accuracy of machine tools and the flexibility of robots.

    Dimensional Tolerance (Repeatability)
    X-direction 1μm
    Y-direction 1μm
    Z-direction 1μm
    Θ-direction 1μm

    The actual cutting conditions may change depending on room temperature, work material, cutting tools and cutting conditions.

    Accuracy of circular interpolation

    The XT500S1 exceeds the NAS979 standard test specifications by far.

    The XT500S1 exceeds the NAS979 standard test specifications by far.

    The parallel link machine with high-speed and smooth movement

    By incorporating our own parallel link mechanism, we have achieved both accurate and larger cutting angle range. The newly developed driving mechanism allows the three arms to be cooperatively controlled, which in turn allows the use of smaller motor with fast position accuracy. Our target is to service customers who require high-speed, high accuracy equipment for higher efficient automated production lines.
