■Best machine that improves product quality and work performance

1. (1) Position settings for control handles and levers that emphasize workability and ease of use.
2. (2) Grinding wheel spindle equipped with a spindle motor with the same revolution range as an NC machine which enables maintenance of grinding wheel shape and dress intervals.
3. (3) Installing (standard specs) a Y-axis (up/down) air balance improves workability and balances ram head weight to maintain machining precision.

■Best machine for simple operation and maximum quality

1. (1) Use of a memory card system enables broaches cut on the master machine to be reworked by regular workers using the same methods as broach manufacturer.
2. (2) Broach blade pitch and uneven pitches are detected automatically by the NC system to enable automated machining.
3. (3) CBN grinding wheel and a soluble coolant enable hardness changes that do not produce heat in the blade tip.
4. (4) Operating program involves simple input based on diagram numbers.
