Nanotech 250UPL v2 Factory Options

C-axis Position Control of Work Spindle

One of our most diverse and popular options which allows continuous path contouring using X, Z, & C axes. This option is used for single point diamond machining of toric & freeform surfaces via Nanotech's "Slow-Slide-Servo" (S³) machining process. Note: S³ machining requires Nanotech's NanoCAM4^3T or suitable software for generation of X, Z, C file formats.

Air-Bearing & Oil Hydrostatic Rotary B-axes

Choose between an economical air bearing rotary B-axis designed specifically for tool normal diamond turning on the Nanotech 250UPL or our more robust Oil Hydrostatic B-axis option depending on your application. Both utilize a direct drive brushless DC rotary motor and high resolution encoder.  (brochure available)

Removable Vertical Y-axis

Removable Y-axis for the Nanotech 250 or 450UPL. This oil hydrostatic vertical slide has 100mm of vertical travel, 0.01 nanometer programming and 8 picometer feedback resolution. It also features an adaptive air bearing counterbalance for optimum performance when adding and removing parts from its mounting shelf. Application examples include raster flycutting, ruling and milling. This Y-axis mounts on the Z-axis table. (brochure available)

Nanotech Fast Tool Servo (NFTS-6000^v2)

The newest version of our advanced closed loop fast tool servo accessory with 6mm of total stroke and micro height adjustment stage!  Voice coil motor with fully constrained porous air bearing design and integrated counter balance. 19X Increase in file size handling (up to 4,000,000 points) and 4X faster load line speed (20,000 points / second) compared to previous generation. Our new NanoCAM4^3T CAM software is used to program the NFTS-6000^v2.  Dedicated NanoSMART HMI module for ease of use.  (brochure available)

Shear Damped Vibration Isolation System

This optional upgrade to Nanotech’s standard air isolation system provides enhanced vibration isolation and damping in both the horizontal and vertical planes with a natural frequency of ≤ 2Hz. Also includes machine self leveling capabilities.

Precision Air Temperature Control System

Solid State Thermal Electric Cooling (TEC) design is available for all Nanotech lathe systems. Provides 20:1 improvement in temperature variation at the plenum output control point when room variation is within +2˚ C. Extremely advantageous for applications requiring long completion cycles where thermal changes deteriorate part results. (brochure available)
