• Machines are too big for the workpiece sizes. Palm-sized workpieces are currently processed on a machine which is over 1000mm in width.
• Workpiece life is getting shorter, and lines are now often changed. However, lines based on specialized machines are often inflexible, more expensive and take a long time to convert.

Unlike conventional machines, DCGTM quickly eliminates vibration during positioning. Rotational vibration, which occurs at all acceleration start points, is reduced to an amount equal to the distance between the drive point and the center of gravity. This prevents the deterioration of the machined surface.

Because it is small, rigidity is increased, allowing high precision.
Because it is light, it is very responsive, so its contouringaccuracy is good.
Because the moving parts are light, there is almost no vibration.
Because energy consumption is low, little heat is generated.Thermal expansion is small.

There is excellent access to the table. Parts which need daily maintenance are gathered at the front and rear.
Chips do not accumulate behind the protector because they are discharged by pit or conveyor to the front or rear.
