Mechanical design with cooling system

Intelligent active cooling system​

The MIKRON MILL P 500 VHP’s active internal cooling system (Ambient Robust technology) circulates temperature-controlled fluid, ensuring precise thermal management. This enables consistent accuracy and stability throughout long micromachining cycles.

​Cooled elements
•    Machine base and column
•    Spindle​
•    Direct-drive X, Y and Z axes
•    Z-axis slide
•    Table
•    Laser measuring system support
•    Water tank​

The MIKRON MILL P 500 VHP features thermal insulation housing that isolates it from external temperature fluctuations, ensuring optimal thermal stability and consistent precision during operation.

Dynamic motion ​

Backlash-free motion for micro finishes​
Linear motors provide precise, backlash-free positioning with high repeatability. Their fast dynamic response minimizes vibration and mechanical backlash, ensuring superior surface finish and contour accuracy in micromachining.

•    Travel speed 30 m/min
•    Acceleration 5 m/s²​

OptiCool design

OptiCool​
STEP TEC’s OptiCool Spindle series ensures not only that the Spindle remains thermally stable, but that natural heat transfer to the Spindle support (e.g., Z axis) is limited to the lowest amount possible, in order to preserve the machine’s geometry.​

CoolCore design

CoolCore​ 
Where conventional stator cooling reaches its limits, STEP TEC’s CoolCore Spindle goes beyond the ordinary to lower the temperature and minimize temperature fluctuations in the rotating shaft.​
