                    High acceleration rates > 1G, maximum stability and the highest degree of precision down to the nano realm are the top attributes of this innovation, which heralds a new era in milling tools. Not least because the handling of the machine is extremely easy and safe, thanks to the Windows-based CNC controller combined with Sodick Motion Control software.

                    Unlike the conventional method of separately executed rough and fine milling, this new technology combines both these machining passes in the one operating mode. The solution is a rapidly rotating and traversing tool of small diameter that cuts to fine depths.
