Matsuura Linear Motor Technolog
High Gain
Indirect drive systems consist of a ball screw and associated drive equipment, causing movement errors resulting in a negative influence on cutting accuracy.
Contact between components of indirect drive systems causes wear on all associated components, and heat transfer between components.

These graphs show the differences between actual positioning and its command to traverse at handle-mode.
Superb, precise positioning within 0.2 μm (0.00000787 in.)is achieved right down to commands of 0.1 μm (0.00000393 in.) steps.

Matsuura linear motor machine’s axis acceleration is an impressive 1G on the LX-0 and 1.5G on the LX-1 with rapid feedrates on both machines up to 90m/min (3,543.3 ipm).
In addition, Matsuura unique high speed spindle achieves real high speed machining.

Generally speaking, with a conventional ball screw set up, circularity gets worse as the cutting feed rate is increased. This is not the case with linear motor technology which con-tinues to deliver high precision and high qual-ity surface finish at the very high feedrates which it is designed to operate at.

Compact, Highly Rigid Construction
A stable machine structure is critical to the attainment of accuracy and sustained reliability when operating at high speeds - particularly given the high G forces which the LX
Series machines offer.
Compact, light weight but extremely rigid components (headstock & saddle) with minimal X-axis overhang of the spindle from the cross-rail are key factors in achieving this stability, as is the bridge-type construction and single axis movement of the table.
Further aiding stability of the headstock are two counter balance cylinders which prevent any deformation caused by the weight of headstock moving at high speed while contributing to excellent response dynamics.
The linear guides on all axes achieve a positional accuracy of under 2 μm (0.0000787 in.) as an actual result.
0.05 μm (0.00000196 in.) HEIDENHAIN absolute scales assure precision.
The Y axis slide ways, onto which the majority of swarf is driven, has a double cover. On the inside an accordion curtain type cover is used, whilst the outside is fully protected by a telescopic cover. In addition the driving parts of the linear motors are air purged to prevent the ingress of swarf.

Matsuura Hi-Tech Spindle BT30 : 43,000min-1
Utilizing Matsuura's many decades of pioneering high speed machining experience, our spindles are designed and assembled ˝in house˝ . Matsuura's spindle engineers work in a dedicated clean room complex to assure the highest quality and reliability.
Matsuura high acceleration and high speed spindle achieves its top speed of 43,000min-1 in just 2 seconds, corresponds to axis high acceleration and high speed table traverse.
Lubricated by a newly developed oil / air lubrication system. This breakthrough in spindle lubrication is silent running, thus contributing to the machine´s low overall noise level.
To minimize heat build-up in the spindle, cooled oil is circulated around the outer jacket of the spindle and motor as well as the motor flange, thus sustaining its high accuracy.
The standard, double contact of the face and taper, unification of the spindle and drive key features a unique tool clamp mechanism to improve repeatability and stationary/dynamic rigidity.

Integrated & Dedicated 4/5th Table, In-house Design
Designed by Matsuura utilizing FEM Analysis, the dedicated 4/5th table is extremely light in weight, whilst possessing maximum rigidity. This table has been specifically designed for the LX-0 5AX as an integrated part of the machine design, and not a "bolt on" extra to a 3-axis machine. The LX-0 5AX has been designed for high speed, high accuracy simultaneous 5-axis operations.
Exceptionally compact machine size & footprint.
DD (Direct Drive) motor drives utilised on the LX Series are non contact types, offering similar properties to linear motor drives. Compared with coventional 4/5th tables, the DD drive system has no abrasive action between components, requires less maintenance and operate at a very low volume.
Because of the high accuracy and ultra high speed indexing times, cycle times during simultaneous 5-axis machining are greatly reduced.

Stable Gantry Type Construction
Liner Motor
The symmetrical design contributes significantly towards excellent thermal stability.
The overhead gantry and headstock have been optimized using 3D FEM analysis to realize their maximum rigidity with minimum weight.
The one piece casting, weighing in excess of 4.3 tons (9,400 lb.) has been designed with inherent high force dampening characteristics. As such, the fixed table construction is able to achieve highly accurate machining in spite of the high inertia forces generated by rapid axis movements.
The linear motors on the Y-axis are completely isolated from the machining area, thereby eliminating any swarf associated problems and aiding machine maintenance.
To overcome the yawing effect associated with a gantry type structure, Matsuura has utilized two linear motors on the Y-axis, each synchronized with the other.

Shrink Fit Tool Holder
A shrink fit tool holder is employed to maintain exceptional balance at ultra high speed. Furthermore, the tool holder has the two-face contact system and a unique tool locking mechanism to the spindle, which ensure high precision and longer tool life.
The perfect mating of cutting tools to the holders is achieved by an optional Matsuura ́Shrink Fit ́ Heater.
Shrink fit tooling, combined with Matsuura's ultra high speed spindle offers users unprecedented high accuracy & high speed when cutting most materials, including hardened steel.
