Introduction
ANCA Machine Tools (AMT), a leader in CNC grinding machines, celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2014. The company has launched new machines, FX Linear and MX Linear, powered by the innovative LinX® Linear Motor developed by ANCA Motion.

Background on Linear Motors
AMT had been cautious about adopting linear motor technology due to issues with traditional flatbed linear motors, such as thermal instability and increased wear on bearings. These motors also required additional cooling systems and had problems with cogging and backlash.

Innovation with LinX® Linear Motor
The LinX® Linear Motor, with its cylindrical design, overcomes the limitations of flatbed motors. It features a shaft with magnets and a forcer with copper coils, eliminating attractive forces and reducing bearing load. Its thermal barrier design negates the need for a dedicated chiller, reducing power usage and space requirements.

Advantages of LinX® Linear Motor
The LinX® motor simplifies installation, reduces maintenance, and extends machine life. It can replace ball screws easily, requiring fewer supports and offering safer installation. Its ironless design ensures even force distribution, enhancing motion performance and surface finish quality.

Performance and Efficiency
The LinX® motor provides superior performance with high speed and acceleration, zero downforces, and IP69K protection. It improves cycle times and surface finish quality, outperforming traditional ball screw machines.

Global Adoption and Customer Satisfaction
LinX® powered machines have been installed worldwide, with customers expressing high satisfaction. ANCA Motion continues to innovate in motion control systems to support customer success.
