Precision at any temperature When your milling accuracy must be within fractions of a micron, even the smallest change in temperature can result in a scrapped part. But to achieve the most accurate parts, simply controlling ambient temperatures isn’t enough. The heat produced by the machine itself must also be controlled, especially during long production cycles for precision molds and dies. The advanced thermostability features in the Mikron MILL P 500 creates a stable environment to protect your processes. An advanced internal cooling system is designed to address every heat source and critical...
