5-Axis Machining Centers
VARIAXIS j
Multi-surface, simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining center
- A rigid trunnion table design supports tables on both sides for heavy-duty machining. High-accuracy machining is possible
- 0.0001° indexing increment for a variety of multiple-surface machining (simultaneous 4-axis + A-axis indexing) [j-500]
- Simultaneous 5-axis control for 3-dimensional curved surface machining [j-500/5X]
- Excellent accessibility to the table and magazine in front of the machine for easier operation
Machine structure for high-accuracy machining
1: Linear roller guides utilized on the X-, Y- and Z-axis
The linear roller guides on the X-, Y- and Z-axis utilized by the VARIAXIS j series provide high-accuracy positioning.
Additionally, with their high rigidity and considerably lower friction, high-speed feed rates can be used over a wide range of machining, from heavy-duty to high-speed cutting.
2: High rigidity table
High rigidity tilting rotary table for high-speed and high-accuracy machining.
3: Rotary axis equipped with roller gear cams
The VARIAXIS j series tilt and rotary tables use roller gear cams for superior accuracy, rigidity, and durability. Elimination of backlash ensures high-accuracy and high-efficiency machining.

- *Optional function for VARIAXIS j-500.
Ai Thermal Shield
Based on the spindle speed and temperature of the machine, Ai Thermal Shield suppresses changes in the cutting edge position. It stabilizes continuous machining accuracy through meticulous machine control that takes into account temperature changes, machine position, coolant ON/OFF, and other factors. Furthermore, by accumulating and learning data from subsequent measurements, thermal displacement compensation can be optimized for each machining environment.
