Hydrostatic guide unit

for machine toolsmaintenance-free

All Monforts CNC machines have one characteristic in common: the maintenance-free and wear-free longitudinal guidance. There is no resistance when starting the carriage. The so-called stick-slip effect as a cause of static friction does not occur. This is ensured by a 10 µm thick oil film between the bore and the column, which also serves as damping. Even path increments of 0.001 mm are moved stick-slip-free. Advantages of the carriage guidance on a round support column are: • High rigidity against cutting forces • Very good damping of vibrations • This results in long tool life • Highest turning accuracy • Resistance to continuous stress • Absolute freedom from wear
