Horizontal Machining Center Technology, Inertia Active Control, Reduces Non-Cut Times

Horizontal machining center productivity gets a boost with Makino's Inertia Active Control (IAC) technology. By delivering inertia feedback from the B-axis motor to the machining center's control system, IAC technology quickly evaluates and adjusts acceleration and deceleration settings to optimal levels for the specific pallet condition. This video, taken on an a51nx horizontal machining center, compares table index positioning times of standard B-axis controls against IAC technology.
