The Sodick UH650L Vertical Machining Center features Sodick’s patented energy saving linear motors and linear scales with five-place decimal input and feedback. This combination results in unsurpassed speed and accuracy with almost zero backlash. This leads to a machine tool that can handle the most complex, three-dimensional contours better than any other machine in its class. With an impressive acceleration rate of 1G, superior stability and the highest degree of precision down to nanometer are the top attributes of this innovation. The Sodick HSM has begun a new era in high precision milling. Unlike the conventional method of separately executing rough and fine milling, this new technology combines both machining passes in one operating mode. The solution is a rapidly rotating and traversing of small tool diameter that cuts to very fine depths.
