SMART M/C X10
SMART M/C X10
The X10 (X-Ten) is a next-generation machining system that boosts production volume tenfold in the machining of high-mix, low-volume parts.
Our machining center’s ultra-fast cutting technology, combined with a 100-tool magazine for extended unmanned operation, in-machine measurement and thermal displacement correction, and a work stocker & automated transfer system, enables automation of small-lot, multi-variety production.

Ultra-fast cutting “Bakusoku Machining”
Acceleration of machining
The V40a, a 5-axis indexing machining center that excels in processing speed and rigidity for ferrous materials, and a load control machining program optimized for milling, significantly reduce the machining time for multi-surface workpieces.

Smart system integration
Realization of long-term unmanned operation
① 100-tool magazine
Safe continuous operation even at night
Capable of handling workpieces requiring numerous tools and multiple installations of the same tool. Reduces the number of tool changes, significantly saving effort and time.
② Thorough chip control
Prevents machining quality issues and minor stoppages
Ensures reliable discharge and removal of chips.
③ Reliable quality assurance with in-machine measurement and thermal displacement correction
Prevents defects and enables unmanned operation
The spindle minimizes thermal displacement with cooling and real-time correction. Combines in-machine measurement with a touch probe and position detection with a linear scale to suppress thermal displacement of the feed axis.
④ Work stock & automatic transport system
Enables stable operation of high-mix, low-volume production
Work stock can be arranged up to a maximum of 25. Reduces the burden of setup changes with NC-controlled automatic transport by Cartesian robot.
⑤ X10 process management software
Enables automation of high-mix, low-volume production
Visualizes the site from your desk PC
Easy operation: Intuitive UI that anyone can use quickly
Remote process management: Visualizes operating status in real-time
Complete at your desk PC: Eliminates the need for on-site verification
Visualizes the entire process from your desk PC without visiting the site.
Process management software supports an efficient production system.
Digitizing the skills of veterans
Peace of mind before machining. Optimize machining time and quality with CAM/SIM integration
“”Ultra-fast cutting CAM recipe”” that anyone can use
Utilizes the load control machining function of 3D-CAM to achieve high-speed, high-efficiency cutting beyond conventional methods. Original recipes (tool information and tool path settings) condensed with Sugino Machine’s unique know-how are pre-set, allowing easy program creation without specialized knowledge. Anyone can reproduce high-efficiency machining without relying on experience or skills.
Realizing a digital twin. Pre-verification and optimization with a simulator
The system incorporates an advanced simulator, allowing for accurate interference checks and calculation of machining time before processing. Integration with the CNC allows accurate determination of machining time based on the actual machine rather than just estimates, while the surface prediction function enables pre-assessment of the finished surface condition. This allows for pre-confirmation of machining accuracy and quality, significantly improving the accuracy of process planning and delivery estimates.
Bringing talent and technology into the future. Hands-on technology transfer and training service
The intuition and know-how cultivated by skilled workers will be lost if not passed on to the next generation. Hands-on service systematizes the tacit knowledge of veterans and reflects it in 3D-CAM and simulators. Transforms it into a “”digital asset”” that can be shared by the entire team. This eliminates the risks of labor shortages and skill transfer, allowing for the confident introduction of X10. Builds a technological foundation as an investment in the future through a one-month practical training curriculum.
