Speed command fluctuation reduced

In complete nano control, the position command calculation
fraction of the interpolation calculation is small, so fluctuations in speed command due to the fractions is reduced.
This reduces acceleration fluctuations, resulting in finer lines
at the time of repeated acceleration/deceleration.

Corresponds to machine resonance fluctuations

By compensating for the deflection between the motor-end
and machine-end, the part shape at a high speed and
acceleration rate can be compensated for. The optimal shape
can be obtained at a low feed rate and also compensate for
the outward expansion of the shape at high feed rates.

Lost Motion Compensation Control Type 3

This control can compensate for not only the machine friction
but also the spring and viscosity elements. Thus quadrant
protrusions, which are generated in circular cutting, can be
compensated for within a wide range from low-speed to

(Machining Center System)

*M750VS, M750VW only

High-accuracy machining is realized by controlling each axis

so that the tool center point moves linearly at a commanded
feed rate even if the rotary axis moves in linear interpolation.

For High Quality machining with smoother finish and faster performance
Five-Axis Machining functions such as Tool Center Point and SSS control have been enhanced.

You can rotate or move the origin of the original coordinate

system parallel to define a feature coordinate system. To
start machining, issue normal program commands to the arbitrary plane (inclined surface) in space. The feature coordinate system is set again according to the tool axiss direction. The machining program can be created without paying
attention to the direction of the coordinate system or tool
axis rotational direction.

NC Designer (Screen Design Tool)

By laying out ready-made standard parts, you can easily
create original screens without programming.
When using touch panel display, a machine operation
panel can be built on the NC display.
Events of the standard parts can be described using
macros.
Using the C language source generation function of NC
Designer, customized functions can be added by programming in C language. (Dedicated development environment
necessary.)

Simply by locating parts of various functions on the screen,

it is possible to create custom screens easily.
It is possible to check the performance of custom screens
on a personal computer.
Develop screen configuration

When the machine model and input specifications are selected,

the selection result for the motor will be displayed.
The result can be output in PDF format.

NC Configurator2
(Parameter Setup Support Tool)
The NC data file necessary for NC control and machine operation (such as parameters, tool data and common variables)
can be edited on a personal computer.
Please contact us to purchase a full function version. (A limited
