In cutting processing, recent years have seen the need to process workpieces of various
materials including carbide, brittle materials and other difficult-to-machine materials, as well as
easy-to-machine ones including copper and graphite, with high accuracy and high efficiency.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has satisfied such needs with the μV1 micro milling
machine, our independently-developed optical image type tool measuring system, as well as by
enhancing machining technology, enabling different existing processing machines used for
different workpiece materials and/or different processes to be integrated into a single unit.
