Machine Structure

Equipped with tilting rotary table with jig area of ø500 mm
Increased travels of Y/Z axes enable a wider range of multi-face machining.

Standard equipped with a high-speed, highly accurate tilting rotary table with ample jig area.
Increased travels of Y/Z axes and using a magazine that can store up to 28 tools further accelerates process integration by one-clamp machining.

Increased Z-axis travel

The Z-axis travel and the distance between the table top and spindle nose end have been increased to secure ample machining area in the Z direction and improve tool accessibility.

Z-axis travel
  • 300mm (Previous model)
  • 380mm

Increased Y-axis travel

The Y-axis travel when the A-axis is at 90 degrees has been increased to 320 mm by increasing the Y-axis travel and shifting the Y-axis travel range from the center of the tilting axis. In addition, tool accessibility has been improved.

Y-axis travel
  • 400mm (Previous model)
  • 450mm

Expanded jig area

Increased travels of Y/Z axes provide ample jig area of up to 500 mm in diameter and 320 mm in height. This enables multi-face machining for medium-sized workpieces.

Max. loading weight 100kg

* Refer to the External Dimensions on page 17 for details of the jig area.

28-tool magazine

This is a compact drum type magazine that achieves high-speed tool change. The magazine can be selected from a 14-tool, 21-tool, or 28-tool magazine. The maximum tool weight is 4 kg.

28-tool magazine

Max. tool size     110mm
Max. tool weight   4kg
Max. total tool weight  35kg
Tool-Tool       0.7s

Productivity

Untiring pursuit of high productivity
Reduction in waste by optimizing control through machine/controller integrated development

Pursuing fast acceleration and quick response through machine/controller integrated development and optimizing control with the “CNC-D00” controller drive machine performance to the limit to provide high productivity.

Non-stop ATC

High-speed tool change has been achieved by faster and optimized spindle start/stop, Z-axis up/down, and magazine operation. Tools up to 3 kg can be changed in the shortest time. Tools up to 4 kg can also be changed with minimal increase in time.

14/21 tools (Standard tools)   Tool-Tool 0.6s / Chip-Chip 1.3s
28 tools (Standard tools)    Tool-Tool 0.7s / Chip-Chip 1.4s
28 tools (Heavy tools)     Tool-Tool 0.8s / Chip-Chip 1.4s

Simultaneous operation

Wasted time has been reduced by simultaneously performing tool change and positioning X/Y and additional axes.

Magazine load conditions estimate

Estimates the inertia and unbalanced load of the tool loaded in the magazine, and sets the optimum value for the acceleration of the magazine axis. In addition, automatically updates the value to the estimated optimum acceleration, even during programmed operation.

Optimized A/C-axes indexing feed rate

Based on the estimated A/C-axes inertia, the A/C-axes start with optimal acceleration until they reach the indexing feed rate.

Improved automatic door opening/closing speed

The automatic door opening/closing speed has been improved, enabling significant reduction in setup time.

Automatic door opening/closing time 20% less

No warmup support function

Equipped with an original measurement processing function that reduces the number of actual measurements by a touch probe according to the size of displacement.
This eliminates the need for warmup operation, minimizing effects on productivity to achieve highly accurate machining.

Machining Capability

Highly rigid machine structure and highly efficient spindle motor enable a broad range of machining

Reliable and trustworthy machine structure has been achieved.
Equipped with a highly efficient spindle motor that demonstrates sufficient torque from the low- to high-speed range.
Achieves highly efficient machining in various industries, from automobile to general machinery, medical, and aircraft industries.
Tool center point control has been added to support simultaneous five-axis machining.*
* Available only for the U500Xd1-5AX.

Newly developed and highly efficient 12,000 min-1 spindle motor

The standard motor specifications have been upgraded from the previous 10,000 min-1 to a newly developed 12,000 min-1. As spindle torque is maintained in the medium- and high-speed range, this achieves further reduction in machining time when performing highly efficient machining of aluminum or steel at high speed.

12,000min-1 (standard) Max. torque 40N·m/ Max. output 18.9kW
16,000min-1 (optional) Max. torque 27N·m/ Max. output 15.4kW

Simultaneous 5-axis machining (U500Xd2-5AX)

Equipped with a variety of functions, including tool center point control and submicron command.
This achieves high-speed and highly accurate simultaneous 5-axis machining in combination with a backlash-free tilting rotary table.

* Changing to the conversation language is not possible for the simultaneous 5-axis specifications (5AX).

Productivity improvement

In addition to the compactness of the BT30, the original look-ahead acceleration/deceleration processing maximizes the machine's performance
(max. speed and acceleration) to achieve high-speed simultaneous 5-axis machining.

NC Controller

Equipped with “CNC-D00” controller
Enhanced usability with 15-inch LCD touch panel

Intuitive operation is possible with apps and vertical touch panel screen. Relevant functions are grouped according to purpose, such as setup and machining, leading to efficient operation. Production and operation states are visualized, allowing faster understanding. Waste-free operation is possible in setup, machining adjustment, production, and recovery process, leading to improved work efficiency and operating rate.

User interface

Equipped with support apps with improved operability and visibility by grouping relevant functions and an easy-to-view display, in addition to several useful accessories (calculator, notebook, file viewer etc.). Operation on conventional screens is possible on the touch panel.
With these, usability has been greatly improved.

Accessibility and workability

Accessibility has been enhanced so that operators can perform setup including workpiece change without any strain.
