Minerva
High Performance Horizontal Arm Machine at an Affordable Price
The IMS Minerva consists of a vertical guide member supported on a solid granite or steel base, with a revolutionary lightweight high strength carbon fibre horizontal arm. The carbon fibre material improves dynamic performance and minimizes the historic arm droop normally associated with horizontal arm machines. All IMS machines are designed using the latest 3D CAD and FEA analysis tools to optimize the design. This attention to detail at the design stage ensures reliable accurate performance over many years use, keeping the cost of ownership to a minimum. All the machine components are kinematically mounted and coupled via air bearings to ensure long term stability and to give the best dynamic performance for maximum throughput.
