Following the recent growth of industries such as medical, IT, automotive, connectors, optical, plastic injection, etc., mold forms are becoming smaller and much more precise.

The demand for hard milling for these types of micro molds has dramatically increased. This type of mold requires a smoother surface and finer corners, more precision in each dimension, as well as faster milling time. In 2009 Yasda developed our Micro Machining Center YMC430, which abolished ball screws and has employed linear motors.

The outstanding accuracy of the YMC430 (with ten times higher positioning accuracy of our YBM V-series) achieved significant results in improving micro milling technology. The concept of the YMC430 is to achieve the highest micro milling accuracy in a temperature controlled environment of mold shops. In order to meet future demand, Yasda developed an original tilting rotary table and DD motors with no backlash, called RT10. Today the new larger Micro Center YMC650 has been developed and introduced in the US, together with the option of our original tilting rotary table RT20.
