7. Faster Rotary Axis Speeds
DRAFT
Faster Rotary Axis Speeds
Thanks to nowadays direct drive rotary axis technologies, Mazak has been challenging gear skiving process. From success with slow rotary axis speeds, required speed is getting faster.
With this enhancement, rotary axis speed can go up to mechanical limitation.
Faster rotary axis speed also improves rotary axis threading process and has potential our dream advanced processes come true.
