NSK Welcomes Visitors to JIMTOF 2020 Online - The 30th Japan International Machine Tool Fair

Join NSK in online sessions to learn about the future of machine tools

NSK Ltd. will exhibit its products and technologies at JIMTOF 2020 Online - The 30th Japan International Machine Tool Fair, to be held from November 16-27, 2020.

Machine tools are the backbone of industry, serving as essential infrastructure to make components for other machines. NSK is proud to be the only company to both research and manufacture precision bearings, balls screws, linear guides, and spindles, the four core components of machine tools.

In recent years, the machine tool industry has become more and more sophisticated in terms of productivity improvements, automation (labor savings), and improvements in machining surface finish quality. NSK will be exhibiting a selection of products that meet the latest needs and requirements of our customers.

Exhibition Concept: MORE THAN PRECISION - “WAZA-ARI”

We are always in plants and on shop floors, engaging closely with customers to understand the intersection of theory and reality. Ultimately, we drive insight into real solutions customers can truly appreciate: solutions that are more than just better numbers on the spec sheet.

Our unique technology and methods and our commitment to customers will continue to pave the path to the future of machine tools. What is your vision? Talk to us to explore how we can help achieve it.

At NSK, we strive to bring real solutions to the real challenges of today and tomorrow. We love to push the limits of technology and build in innovative ideas and new capabilities. Join us at JIMTOF to learn how NSK is setting the future in motion.

Major Exhibits

1. ROBUSTDYNA™ Super Precision Bearings for Machine Tool Spindles (All New Series)
Enables highly versatile machining by delivering excellent performance in both roughing and finishing. Preforms both heavy cutting and ultra-high speed surface finishing.
Higher load capacity enables heavy-duty cutting and can achieve reductions in machining time.
Higher impact resistance contributes to long-term stable operation and improved productivity (avoid unplanned downtime).

2. Ball Screw with Axis Reversal Spike Reduction Technology for High Quality Surface Finishing (World's first)
Significantly reduces motion errors called quadrant glitches (reversal spikes), which are caused by variation in friction during reversals in the direction of ball screw motion. This essentially eliminates errors that leave streaks on the workpiece surface resulting in a lower quality finish.
Improves feed and positioning accuracy.
Maintained or increased rigidity compared to conventional products despite reducing torque and heat generation.
Highly configurable with a wide selection of nut circulation types and other options available.

3. Ultra-High Speed Angular Contact Ball Bearings with SURSAVE™ Cage for Main Tool Spindle
Compared with conventional products, reduced NRRO (Non-Repeatable RunOut) by 50%, and torque by 20% for reduced heat generation.
Achieved high speed performance of 3 million dmN.

4. High Durability Precision Ball Screws
Improved wear resistance.
Maintenance-free for longer periods.
Contributes to reducing machinery energy consumption.
High Durability Precision Ball Screws
5. NSK K1-L Lubrication Unit for NSK Linear Guides™
Improved lubrication capacity by around 200% with newly developed material.
Reduced dynamic friction by 20% when initiating slider motion.
Casing protects K1-L and prevents ingress of dust and contaminants.
High Durability Precision Ball Screws
