The Ultrasonic 60 Precision machine from DMG MORI offers a cost-effective entry into the ultrasonic precision machining of hard, brittle materials such as ceramics (like silicon carbide), glass, Zerodur, and hard metals.

The ultrasonic milling machine features a monolithic machine bed, solid castings, and wide roller guide rails that the company says gives it outstanding rigidity. Precision cooling of the linear guides is standard equipment and ensures high accuracy and process stability.

The positioning accuracy of the Ultrasonic 60 Precision is 5 µm, and the accuracy of the circular interpolation is 6 µm. The process stability and high accuracy of the Ultrasonic 60 Precision go hand in hand with enormous machining versatility. The swivel rotary table of the 5-axis machining center can carry workpieces weighing up to 300 kg and has a swivel range of -35° to +110°. 60 tools are available as standard. A tool magazine with 120 slots is available as an option.

The Ultrasonic 60 Precision thus machines complex components productively and economically, the company says.
