Box Way
- The casting assembly of the SMV machining centers has been designed using a Finite-Element-Analysis process to ensure the machine will handle cutting forces and weight loads associated with the demands of the machine specifications.
- All axes use box way design to allow the machining center to accommodate extremely heavy loads with smooth motion while increasing dampening of vibrations and cutting force characteristics.
- The machine base and saddle base utilize a wide design to prevent sagging and overhanging concerns with heavy work piece loads.
- The Z axis casting uses a reinforced rib design to achieve structural strength through the entire casting length.
- Each axis motor is directly coupled to the ball screw.
- Each axis will use a grade C3 precision ground ball screw and will use a pre-tensioned design to improve machine performance.
