Due to the extremely small thermal displacement, ceramic is ideal material for use in electric discharge machines. In addition to perfect hardness, light weight, heat resistance, and low wear characteristics, ceramic has electric insulation properties as well, which is important for electrical discharge machines. By using ceramic components, high quality machining surface can be ensured in small areas without the need for any special jigs. Linear Motor Sodick's linear motor provides high acceleration and positioning accuracy without backlash, by a direct drive mechanism without any single...
