The new version of the machine offers a more flexible and therefore more precise machining process. The BA W06 features variable spindle distance of 590.00 mm – 651.00 mm. Travel in the Y- and Z- axes 630 mm and 510 mm, respectively. The independent Z-axis enables machining coupled with compensation value. Fine adjustment of the spindle height is possible in the Y-axis with position correction. Straightness has been improved in the Z-axis due to increased guide ratio. There is also now higher positioning accuracy (Tp = 0.006 mm) in the in the X-, Y-, and Z-axes (verified by ISO 230-2) available.
