Advantages:
Advantages of a turntable with micro-gap technology
+ Improved Runout
The high-precision bearings, which are manufactured in-house in the sub-µm range on a Kern machine, offer the best conditions for outstanding accuracy of fl atness and runout.
The hydrostatic system creates an additional averaging effect of the bearings, which neutralizes any remaining shape deviations and shifts the running accuracy into the nanometer range.
+ Higher Dynamics
By installing more powerful motors with higher nominal and peak torques as well as an improved topological structure, the Kern Micro HD+ achieves signifi cantly higher dynamics than comparable turntables. In combination with Kern’s temperature management, dynamic machining takes place at high speeds over a long period of time with excellent machining accuracy.
+ High Stiffness
A real advantage of the hydrostatic micro-gap turntable is the stiffness. Combined with improved topology of the housing and reinforcement of the swivel housing, we provide steadfast rigidity. The use of hydrostatic bearings also contributes signifi cantly to the stiffness. This system is designed to provide highest precision even under high loads.
+ Best Thermal Stability
Another advantage is the increased thermal stability. While systems with roller bearings only
cool the bearing plate and the stator, the HD+ also actively cools the bearing and housing in the swivel axis and the bearing shaft, bearing and stator in the rotation axis. The improved temperature management signifi cantly increases the performance of the machine, even when machining processes are changing fast, and conditions are not perfect.
The plus in the name of the Kern Micro HD+ stands for the increase in axial and radial run-out accuracy, dynamics, rigidity and thermal stability, thereby enabling the applications of tomorrow. The Micro HD+ promises maximum process stability in the versatility of combined complete machining, freedom from wear and automated series production of high-precision components.
