The minimal rolling friction loss and extremely low backlash provide the foundation for the machine to maintain stable machining accuracy over the long term.

Helical Rack and Pinion: The X and Y-axis transmission employs high-precision ground helical racks. Compared to spur racks, the helical design offers greater contact area during meshing, resulting in smoother overall transmission, lower operating noise, and reduced vibration. Furthermore, helical racks possess greater torque-bearing capacity, effectively increasing machine traverse speed while enhancing operational smoothness and extending component lifespan.

4. Drive System

Leadshine EtherCAT Absolute Servo Motors: Equipped with six sets of Leadshine servo motors in total: 1500W for X, Y, Z, A axes, and 750W for the carousel-type tool magazine. The EtherCAT bus control architecture enables faster data transmission between the drive and control systems, stronger anti-interference capability, lower command response latency, and faster dynamic response, making it better suited for multi-axis coordination in complex machining scenarios. The absolute feedback characteristic eliminates the need for homing calibration at every startup, allowing direct and precise positioning to the initial location. This saves startup preparation time and avoids positioning deviations caused by power loss or interference common in incremental servo systems, providing reliable power support for the machine's consistently stable machining performance.

Shimpo (Japan) Planetary Gear Reducers: Utilizing a planetary gear architecture, these reducers offer advantages of high precision, high rigidity, and low noise. The symmetrical distribution of planet gears enhances load-bearing capacity, enabling them to withstand stronger load impacts and ensuring smooth, reliable power transmission in high-precision, high-speed operating scenarios.

5. Vacuum Table, Double-Rod Air Press Rollers, and Vacuum Cups

Vacuum Table: Features a 9-zone, 29-hole vacuum table with independent zone control and an optimized hole layout, offering extremely high holding stability and usage flexibility. The 9 independently controlled zones can be precisely activated or deactivated based on the workpiece size, saving vacuum pump energy while adapting to diverse processing needs from small parts to full-size sheets up to 7x9 feet. The 29 holes are evenly distributed, ensuring balanced holding force coverage across the entire table to securely fix various materials like wood panels and MDF, preventing machining failures due to workpiece shift or warping during processing.

Double-Rod Air Press Rollers: The double-rod structure ensures even distribution of clamping force, avoiding panel deformation caused by concentrated point pressure. Both rollers feature independent pneumatic control, allowing pressure adjustment based on panel thickness and material. The roller surfaces use high-damping, wear-resistant, non-slip material to prevent slipping or scratching the panel. This device works in conjunction with the vacuum table to provide dual fixation, further enhancing workpiece stability.

Vacuum Cups: These are specialized support accessories for machining side holes on panels, solving positioning and multi-component interference issues during side hole processing. Placed beneath the panel, they elevate it to avoid interference from the table during side drilling. Each block has four through-holes and a surface with grooves identical to the vacuum table. Once the panel is placed, the vacuum pump can be activated for suction. Used in conjunction with the 4-axis swivel head, they enable drilling, slotting, and other operations on the sides of panels, doors, etc.

7. High-Quality Auxiliary Systems

Automatic Tool Setter: Uses a contact-type automatic tool setter with a built-in high-precision sensor. After an automatic tool change, it performs the tool setting operation: the tool slowly descends until it contacts the setter's surface, triggering a signal that is transmitted to the CNC system. The system then calculates the tool length based on the preset coordinates and the triggered contact point. This completely replaces the tedious manual tool calibration, increasing efficiency by 80%, significantly reducing machine idle time, effectively ensuring machining accuracy, and boosting productivity.

Automatic Lubrication System: Programmable design allows for timed, metered lubrication of the transmission system (guides, screws, etc.) based on machine usage frequency. Built-in sensors trigger an alarm when oil is low. Compared to traditional manual lubrication, this system offers more precise and controllable lubrication, effectively preventing under-lubrication.

Loading Rollers: The table rear is equipped with 7 rows (21 total) of loading rollers, assisting in quick and smooth panel transfer onto the table. This greatly reduces manual loading effort, allowing a single operator to handle loading, saving labor costs, and effectively preventing panel scratches.

Vacuum Loading Cups: Three vacuum loading cups are mounted behind the gantry, capable of interfacing with a lift-type automatic loading platform. Using vacuum suction to grip panels, they work with the loading rollers and positioning cylinders to achieve fully automatic panel loading and positioning, reducing reliance on manual loading and improving processing efficiency.

Vacuum Zone Control Switches: Each vacuum zone has an independent control switch. During machining, zones can be selectively activated based on needs. This reduces vacuum pump load while adapting to panels of different sizes or irregular shapes, preventing pressure dispersion when holding small panels and making the holding force more concentrated to ensure machining accuracy.
