ULTRA Technology: the Platform for High Precision and Micro Tool Work

Revolutionary ULTRA technology combines nanometer control, servo-controlled algorithms and mechanical stiffness upgrades to achieve unprecedented accuracy. The MicroX ULTRA demonstrates ANCA's commitment to precision, enabling continuous batch production down to 0.03mm and setting new standards in tool manufacturing.

The MicroX ULTRA premiered at EMO 2023 and was released to the market at GrindingHub, giving micro tool manufacturers all the advantages of the ULTRA technology and ANCA’s Machine Intelligence in a unit tailored to this application. As the only micro tool grinder with nanometer control, optimized mechanical layout and axes travel, integrated tool measurement and progressive automation, this six-axis grinder is the ideal solution for volume production of tools down to 0.03mm.
