State-of-the-art, customer-oriented micro machine tools made by Kugler
As one of the world's leading companies supplying ultraprecision machines, Kugler designs and builds all critical core components in-house. Our machine technology continues to increase to the benefit of our customers. This is based on the newest mechanical engineering developments as well as on the knowledge transfer from our internal component part production.
The latest generation of the hydrostatically mounted MICROMASTER® series ideally combines surface quality and accuracy with dynamics. Extremely fast regulation, with a sample rate of 12 kHz, in combination with specially designed symmetrically arranged direct drive provides for the most accurate processing results.
In combination with a completely new development (not yet available anywhere else on the market) and visual workpiece measurement (patent pending), a complete imaging and correction of the workpiece contour is carried out during processing. Also new is a quick change system for fast µm accurate tool changes, for example HF or fly cutter spindles.
The hydrostatic bearings, with a resolving power of <0.4nm, decouple the axes from the frame and environment so that no vibrations are created. The usual stick slip effect is completely eliminated providing a position stability of under 20nm.
Low heat conductivity in connection with four separate cooling circuits make the overall system insensitive to temperature fluctuations. This is particularly important for workpieces that require long processing times.
Likewise the requirement for a compact system has been met. Thus the floor space requirement of the complete system is only a “tiny” 3.74 square meters.
You also profit from the productivity and features of this completely new machine generation.
Whether you decide for a machine or job order production – you will be impressed by our competence and productivity!
