## Safety

- The spindle labyrinth structure is enhanced for frequent use of high-pressure coolant, to prevent coolant entry and improve spindle durability.

## Study notes

- ALX series has 11 models covering 10-inch chuck spindles, turning/milling/Y-axis specifications, a second spindle specification, and 500/1000/2000 mm distance between centres.
- Rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) applies to the X- and Z-axes and is stated as 25% faster than the CL.
- Spindle is the in-house DDS (Direct Drive Spindle) turnMASTER, a built-in motor spindle with a 3-year guarantee.
- X-axis uses slideways for damping; Y- and Z-axes use linear motion guides for positioning accuracy.
- SmartSCALE full closed loop control (scale feedback) is available as an option.
- C-axis indexing accuracy for high-accuracy contouring is 5 sec.
- Control and software alternatives listed are MAPPS and Mitsubishi; no matching controller entries are available in the reference list.
- An automation configuration is referenced as ALX 2500 GX7.
