Machine Description
The MATSUURA LF-160 Linear Motor is a high-precision CNC 5-axis vertical machining center designed for high-speed and high-accuracy machining. This machine is equipped with a linear motor drive system, high-speed spindle technology, automation capability, and advanced unmanned operation features.
The LF-160 / LV-500 series is promoted as an ever-evolving linear motor machine offering the ultimate combination of high speed and high accuracy. It is designed especially for precision mold machining, high-variation / low-volume production, and prolonged unmanned operation.
Key Technical Features
| Linear Motor Machine |
High precision linear motor machine for high-speed, high-accuracy machining. |
| Low-Vibration Spindle |
Newly developed ultra-low vibration spindle designed to reduce polishing requirements for mold applications. |
| Surface Roughness Capability |
Designed to shorten the mold polishing process by achieving surface roughness of Ra0.1 μm in high-speed machining. This is an actual value and not a guaranteed performance value. |
| Small Tool Life Improvement |
The low-vibration spindle suppresses tool rotation runout and contributes to longer life of small-diameter tools. |
| Automation Capability |
Supports prolonged unmanned operation with high tool capacity and pallet automation systems. |
| Thermal Compensation |
Equipped with Matsuura environmental thermal displacement compensation function as standard for stable machining accuracy during long operation. |
| Collision Prevention |
Matsuura Intelligent Protection System installed on the NC screen as standard to help prevent collisions caused by programming or manual operation errors. |
