Machine Characteristics
The Q50 special design for machining ball-shaped parts. Turning, Indexing and polishing can be done in one single parts machining cycle.
Traditional spherical cutting CNC lathes used a traditional technology that featured a straight rack drive and hydraulic system. The result was that tolerances were difficult to maintain and surface finishes were not smooth.
The Q50 uses a circular rack and tooth combination, along with a servo motor to control table movement. The improved result include machining result that match programming specification and mirror-fine finishes.
• Mono-block single piece cast base and lathe bed. Extra-heavy casting is stabilized using traditional weather aging(an expensive and time consuming process). This helps to optimize lathe bed stability and accuracy.
• High precision, world-class linear motion bearing guideways increase machine accuracy and stability over the life of the machine
• Center-mounted, high precision ball screw has optimal dynamic motion stability and efficiency.
• Accurate, high-speed cartridge spindle best fits the needs of the application-extra-fine finish and optimal finish part roundness.
• Three axis simultaneous movement system maximizes  felicity of parts accuracy to part design when cutting round or three dimensonal shapes.
