The MIKRON XSM LP series leads precision chip removal into a new era. Precise adherence to the specified tool path even under high feed rates ultimately determines the surface quality of concave and convex surfaces. Hence, for many customers, it is the milling texture – or, to be more exact, the lack of it – on the workpiece that is one of the most important performance characteristics of a MIKRON machine. Because high amounts of heat always develop in the drive groups over prolonged periods at high axis feed rates the MIKRON XSM LP series has a sophisticated thermal management system. Each of the linear axes and the round-swivel unit have their own cooling circuit. This ensures the heat is systematically drawn from the machine and not dissipated or distributed in the machine. The outcome is a geometric stability that guarantees extremely high repeatability of movement guidance. The MIKRON XSM 400 LP and 400U LP series set a new milestone in both regards.
