The MTC (Micro Turning Center) series of machines was designed according to the needs of ultra-precision turning. By using diamond tools, optical surface quality can be achieved on a wide range of materials like crystals, metals and plastics. Thus, in combination with the C-axis (option), allowing for the turning of nonrotationally symmetric / free-form workpieces (Slow Tool).
An optional tool setting camera can be mounted to the main spindle housing, using an industrial pallet system for the connection, to allow for an easy and accurate remounting. Tool holders and a mechanical interface for the in process camera, as well as different measuring devices like 3D-touchprobes or LVDTs can be mounted to the Z-slide.
When using the rotary table (option), its faceplate is used to mount all the tooling and measurement equipment, offering additional capabilities to the system, such as using the B-axis as a tool turret. The rotary table can also be used to keep a constant cutting point on the tool (3-axis machining, Single Point Turning). Furthermore, the rotary B-axis can be used to selectively change the cutting point if the tool is worn out.
Besides many other accessories, that make the MTC series an all-purpose tool, there is the possibility to make customized solutions, to adapt the machine to your needs.
