【Gantry Machining Center MVR-Ax Series】

Nidec Machine Tool Corporation (President: Kenichi Wakabayashi, Headquarters: Ritto City, Shiga Prefecture) will launch a new gantry machining center "MVR-Ax" on July 22. This easy-to-operate machine tool was developed to meet the diverse needs of large parts processing and manufacturing sites. In October last year, Nidec Machine Tool launched the high-end "MVR-Hx" and the standard "MVR-Cx" mainly for medium-sized workpieces. This time, the "MVR-Ax" was added to the market, which can meet the diverse needs of users through a variety of options such as worktable sizes that are also suitable for large workpieces, a large number of spindle accessories, and various automation responses including automatic pallet changers. In addition, overall productivity is improved through high-performance and efficient cutting technology and digital technology that can improve operability and maintainability. Nidec Machine Tools will continue to provide solutions to users at home and abroad and open up new market areas.

The MVR-Ax has a standard spindle speed (6,000 rpm) for machining large workpieces such as industrial machinery, construction machinery, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and power generation equipment. In addition, it has a gear-driven spindle (opt.) with a 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 3,430 N・m, which can be used for heavy cutting. The high rigidity of the ram spindle on the machine body structure that does not move even under high torque improves the cutting ability when the ram is ejected, aiming to achieve high efficiency in side machining of high-height parts. In addition, a large number of accessories enable the "MVR-Ax" series of gantry machining centers to support narrow parts, multi-faceted machining, inclined surfaces, free-form surfaces, and various other shapes. In addition, the rapid feed speed of each axis is the highest in the industry, with 30m/min for the X axis, 32m/min for the Y axis, 20m/min for the Z axis, and 5m/min for the W axis. Such high speeds shorten non-cutting time and improve productivity.

In terms of ease of operation, the "MVR-Ax" series pursues the ease of operation of the product according to the needs of users. It is equipped with "NidecNavi" which can play an operation assisting function, which can improve the efficiency of operators' NC program creation and centering operations, and is equipped with a standard "simple collision prevention function" to prevent collisions between tools and workpieces. In addition, our company's unique IoT platform "DIASCOPE" provides users with fast, safe and convenient support. In addition, as energy-saving measures such as reducing power consumption, various technologies that can improve environmental performance are also adopted, such as applying idling stop functions to oil coolers and hydraulic units.

The MVR series has extensive delivery performance and rich experience in the fields of molds, industrial machinery, construction machinery, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, etc. It relies on excellent mechanical performance and user-friendly and safety-supported design to continuously pursue excellent product operability and environmental performance. In the future, Nidec Machine Tool Corporation will continue to provide the required machine tool products and solutions for all industries and contribute to customers' manufacturing business.
