CT8 High Precision Y-Axis Turn/Mill Center: Technical Overview 

2.1 High rigidity inclined bed and guide system

The machine has inclined bed (45°) Made from high quality cast iron, which provides excellent thermal stability and torsional resistance. All axles are equipped with wide (45 mm) linear guides. The Z axis is designed with 4 guides to prevent collisions with the tailstock and improve smooth movement and processing accuracy.

2.2 Y-axis design

Unlike conventional turning centers, inclined Y axis of CT8 machine significantly expands technological capabilities. It allows you to perform complex operations: eccentric turning, contour milling, angled machining, which makes the machine truly multifunctional machining center.

2.3 Advanced FANUC CNC system

Control is carried out by the system CNC FANUC 0i-TF Plus with a 10.4" display. The system supports external memory up to 2 GB and the EES function (launching programs from external media). Provides high response speed (minimum frame cycle time 1.5 ms), support for multiple coordinate systems and an extensive set of fixed cycles (rough turning, tapping, drilling, parting off), which simplifies programming and increases efficiency.

2.4 Complete closed-loop measurement system and high accuracy

Each axis uses absolute measurement system (encoder). In combination with propeller pitch compensation and backlash this ensures high positioning accuracy according to the standard VDI 3441: ≤6/8/12μm for X/Y/Z axes and repeatability ≤5/6/8μm, which meets the requirements for producing high-precision parts.
