Compact linear rail technology from XYZ Machine Tools explained

The use of linear rails on machining centres has been common for many years, as they allow users to take advantage of improvements in digital motion control and modern cutting tool performance, therefore maximising their competitiveness.

Now, with the latest design advances in linear rail technology, XYZ Machine Tools feel that they meet its own stringent performance standards, while still providing a cost advantage and the arrival of the three machine XYZ LR range is the result.

The XYZ 500 LR is the smallest machine in XYZ’s new linear rail technology range. As part of this new range of machines, the XYZ 500 LR offers price competitive performance with axis travels of 510 x 400 x 450 mm, 8000rpm spindle and 20m/min cutting feedrates.

The move to linear rail technology comes after recent significant design advances in these rails, which now makes them compatible with XYZ’s quality/performance criteria. With their addition to the XYZ range the LR machines offer a lower cost introduction to VMC ownership.
