The X/Y-axes on the Ken Focus 5 / Compact B / Linmax B high speed 5-axis machining centres are driven by linear motion systemswith the followingbenefits: - longer term accuracy and maintenance-free due to contactless motion - shorter positioning / tool change times due to higher rapid motion rates - shortermachining times (specially on free-form surfaces) due to higher motion speed - higher surface quality due to higher drive rigidity and no transmission frequencies - lower tool wear due to lower transmission vibration - higher contouring accuracy due to lower contouring error
as the Z-axes on the above Ken high speed 5-axis machining centres are driven by two ball screws for higher material penetration levels.
