High dynamic 5-axis machining architecture and symmetrical Box-in-Box layout

Ken Ichi Machine Co., Ltd. designs its high-speed 5-axis gantry platforms around a symmetrical Box-in-Box architecture. The crossbeam and ram assembly travels centrally between twin box-section columns, eliminating angular deflection and thermal structural drift.

This symmetric arrangement delivers uniform dynamic stiffness during multi-axis simultaneous milling of aerospace structural forgings, turbine impellers, and precision automotive tooling.

Direct-drive linear motors and high rapid feedrates up to 60 m/min

The Focus5 and LinmaxB series utilize non-contact linear motor direct drives on the X and Y axes, achieving rapid traverse rates up to 60 m/min with high acceleration. Eliminating mechanical ballscrews, drive belts, and reduction gears minimizes backlash, mechanical wear, and friction heat.

Digital optical glass scales provide continuous submicron position feedback directly to the CNC interpolation loop for superior contour accuracy.

Two-axis automatic indexing and torque-motor direct-drive milling heads

Ken Ichi offers versatile two-axis milling heads in fork, side, and universal geometries supporting continuous multi-axis simultaneous contouring. Direct-drive torque motors eliminate drivetrain play, delivering smooth motion across A and C angular coordinates.

For heavy-duty roughing operations, hydraulic disk clamping brakes provide holding torque up to 15000 Nm, locking orientation rigidly during high-torque cutting.

Heavy cutting horizontal platforms for heat-resistant turbine and alloy parts

The Rhino horizontal machining series is optimized for difficult materials including titanium alloys and high-nickel superalloys. Equipped with mechanical reduction gearing, the BBT-50 spindle delivers continuous mechanical torque up to 1200 Nm.

High-rigidity rotary tables and rigid column structures support deep-hole boring and milling of heavy aviation engine housings and structural frames.

High-pressure through-spindle cooling and thermal management systems

Machining titanium and high-tensile alloy steels requires effective chip evacuation and temperature control at the tool cutting edge. Ken Ichi integrates through-spindle coolant delivery operating at 20 to 50 bar pressure.

Multi-circuit thermal compensation monitors temperatures across the column, crossbeam, and spindle bearings, automatically adjusting coordinate offsets in real time.
