■Development background
The reduction of cycle time is one of the challenges constantly faced by the machine tool industry. As a machine tool manufacturer, addressing this challenge of cycle time reduction head-on was a major theme in the development process. In addition, in this development, we have proceeded with the idea of contributing to cycle time reduction without causing any burden to our customers. How can we ensure that customers can continue using their existing machining programs without any modifications? We considered various perspectives and implemented numerous features, with a focus on reducing idle time, which will ultimately shorten the cycle time. With ChronoCut, let’s experience the cycle time reduction.

■Comment from Shogo Nakamura/CEO
