Sufficient rigidity is required for both precise movement (finishing) and heavy cutting (rough machining) as commanded.
Not only the rigidity of the column and bed, the rigidity of the guide and feed system also must be sufficient.
The excellent machine is that it has good geometric accuracy (such as the perpendicularity between X, Y, and Z) and that it has little aging.
Our machines have a strong basic structure.
