Sept. 19, 2024
The MicroX Ultra allows for volume production of cutting tools with nanometer resolution.

MicroX Ultra Anca’s MicroX Ultra is a six-axis grinding machine designed for volume production of nano and micro cutting tools down to a diameter of 0.03mm. It incorporates a range of features, including advanced algorithms that can actively mitigate disturbances caused by imbalanced or runout grinding wheels, and it automatically detects and compensates for errors on both linear and rotary encoders.

What’s new? The MicroX Ultra.

Benefits Superior micro tool production. Anca says the MicroX Ultra is the only micro tool grinder with nanometer resolution and control over the tool grinding path, which produces high surface and edge quality. It has optimized axis travels, and its C-axis alignment is designed to improve grinding of ball nose, corner radius and profile tools. For added reliability, MicroX Ultra’s LaserUltra feature closely controls tolerances and compensates in real time for factors like wheel wear.
