Study notes

  • Two machine types are listed: Type 750 (Z-axis stroke 875 mm, maximum workpiece length 746 mm) and Type 1500 (Z-axis stroke 1,685 mm, maximum workpiece length 1,584 mm).
  • Control and software alternative listed: MAPPS Mitsubishi.
  • Maximum through-spindle hole diameter is 145 mm (5.7 in) or 185 mm (7.3 in), stated as the largest in its class.
  • Milling torque: 100 N·m (73.8 ft·lbf) intermittent for 4 min, 68 N·m (50.2 ft·lbf) continuous.
  • C-axis positioning accuracy: 6.8 sec.
  • Slideway area is increased 50% on the X axis and 90% on the Z axis compared with a conventional machine; large-diameter ball screws are used.
  • Coolant circulation inside the castings on the 750 type controls thermal displacement.
