Die milling machines, with higher performance (speed, precision, etc.) and reasonable cost, are required for reduction of milling time and polishing process. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed a die milling machine MVR-FM equipped with FM control system (MHI's proprietary high-speed, high-accuracy contouring control system). The new milling machine is also equipped with high-precision feed system using X-axis twin-ball screw and Z-axis direct drive, and 12000 min-1 high-speed spindle with low vibration. The new machine is designed based on portal table moving type machining center MVR. Hopefully, the newly developed machine will contribute to the development of die mold milling, the base of industry.
