centres and for chucked work, is a further example of the machine‘s progressive design. The thermally-optimized bearings guarantee the highest roundness and dimensional accuracy. Also the wheelhead exhibits thermal stability thanks to optimized spindle bearings and water-cooled motors. The cooling circuit is operated with an active cooler. The Z-axis movement uses traditional guideways, which guarantees a high degree of damping, while the X-axis movement utilizes roller guideways, which in turn facilitates non-stick slip positioning. High-precision glass measuring rods in both axes. The VISTA...
