THK's linear motion systems help provide the guidance that makes this precision and speed possible. All the various parts used in machine tools are made by "mother machines" that producer machine parts themselves. 

Wheather fine and complex or massive and heavy, the manufacturing precision of parts produced by machine tool is increasing at an accelerating pace. 

The leading player among cutting machines is the "machining center." Highly accurate and rigid, Caged Ball LM Guides and Ball Screws are used for the table that must position the workpiece accurately and quickly, as well as the driving mechanism that moves cutting tools. The Cross-Roller Rings are used for the rotary table that is required to move in a smooth rotary motion.
