Reducing Quadrant Glitches in Machine Tools

NKS`s new ball screw can reduce quadrant glitches in machine tools. This enables a higher quality surface finish when machining moulds, dies and high-precision components.

When performing circular interpolation, quadrant glitches arises when the motion of the ball screw reverses, prompting a deviation from the intended path. These motion errors leave micron-level imperfections in the workpiece surface that manifest as undesirable streaks or protrusions.

NSK utilise in-house proprietary friction control and high-precision evaluation and measurement technologies. The resulting improvements reduce the frictional fluctuations that inherently occur in ball screws when the direction of motion reverses. By fitting NSK’s new-technology ball screws to machine tools, it will be possible for users to enjoy a higher quality surface finish in the machining of moulds, dies and high-precision components. The technology reduces the time needed for secondary polishing/burnishing processes and contributes to energy savings. Any machine tool performing precision work that requires high-accuracy positioning is set to benefit.

Sustainable, Cost-Effective, and Straightforward

By switching to coating-free gearmotors, SEW‑Eurodrive is taking an important step toward making its product portfolio more sustainable. With no paint or coatings involved, production costs are reduced during manufacture and components are easier to recycle in the circular economy at the end of the product life cycle. These gearmotors are therefore an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution for many drive tasks.
