High-speed, high-accuracy, high-quality cutting through SSS-4G control

M800/M80 Series offers SSS 4th-generation (SSS-4G) control, enabling high-speed, high-accuracy, high-quality machining. SSS-4G control provides features that are effective in reducing tact time, including optimal acceleration/deceleration suited to each axis’ characteristics. In addition, SSS-4G is capable of reducing machine vibration during high-speed cutting. SSS-4G control allows for greater cutting accuracy in the same length of time, or shorter cutting time with the same degree of accuracy when compared to our previous models.

Improved milling features using a tool spindle

High-speed high-accuracy control features accumulated originally for machining centers are now available in lathe system. Fine milling can be implemented at high speeds on a lathe. This CNC enables a servo motor, instead of a spindle, to act as a tool spindle. Any of the servo control axes driven by multi-hybrid drive can be used as a tool spindle. This contributes to the downsizing of machine tools.

High productivity and high quality are our primary focus

CNC-dedicated CPU is incorporated in the M800/M80 Series, providing significantly improved short segment processing capability. The benefits are not limited to improvements in basic performance alone. The Tolerance Control function enables operators to achieve high-quality surfaces simply by specifying the desired dimensional accuracy. This feature takes machining to a whole new level.

M800/M80

M800/M80 Series provides new features that can maximize the full potential of machine tools, including: Variable-acceleration pre-interpolation acceleration/deceleration provides optimized acceleration, with each axis’ characteristics fully exercised. For example, allowing a linear axis to accelerate irrespective of rotary axis responsiveness. “OMR-FF control” allows for optimal position loop gain adjustment suited to each axis, leading to smoother and more accurate cutting. Other than the above, this CNC has new functionality effective for higher productivity, including “Rapid traverse block override function” that helps reduce non-cutting time by overlapping feed blocks.

Multi-axis multi-part system control features help to reduce cycle time and maintain synchronization between part systems

M800/M80 Series provides “Spindle superimposition control, “a feature that enables simultaneous execution of turni ng and center tapping, although they need to be executed individually. These features are effective in eliminating idle time, resulting in a significant reduction in tact time. This CNC also offers features that maintain synchronization between part systems, which is required for automatic lathes, in particular. These enable operators to implement even more complex machining safely and securely.

Real-time tuning helps maintain machine stability by adjusting the control gain automatically

This function estimates the work inertia and changes the speed control gain or time constant automatically according to the estimation results to suppress mechanical vibration.
