## Study notes

- Slideways are used on the X-, Z- and Y-axis to raise vibration damping and dynamic rigidity.
- The turret uses a BMT (Built-in Motor Turret); the rotary tool spindle runs at up to 10,000 min-1.
- Maximum rotary tool spindle torque is 29 N·m (21.4 ft·lbf) for less than 3 min.
- Coolant circulation through the machine body is standard to control thermal displacement; the heat-controlling structure is stated to improve machining precision.
- A high-precision, quick-change turret is available as an option.
- Control and software alternative listed in the document is MAPPS Mitsubishi.
