Press Release Summary:
Single-spindle GENIUS 500 combines speed of linear motors along X and Y axes with force of ball screw along Z axis. It features XYZ travels of 630 x 630 x 1,000 mm, 500 x 500 mm pallet with 800 mm clearance diameter, and 16,000 rpm spindle with output of 25 hp/37.5 kW. Acceleration forces are resolved in vertical plane directly through walls of machine base, into machine foundations, enabling accelerations of 2.5 g and velocities up to 180 m/min.

Cross Hüller Announces: GENIUS High-Performance Single-Spindle CNC Production Modules
CNC Combines the Speed of Linear Motors Along XY Axes with the Force of Ball Screw Along Z Axis
STERLING HEIGHTS, MI - AUGUST 5, 2004 - Cross Hüller North America, a leading manufacturer of production systems for the global automotive and off-road/construction industries, today announced the GENIUS 500, a high-performance single-spindle CNC combining the speed and acceleration of linear motor drives with the improved stiffness and rigidity of a parallel kinematic construction for X and Y axis.
"The GENIUS 500 provides our customers with an extremely fast and easily adaptable machining system requiring a minimum of space," says Ron Quaile, general manager, Cross Hüller North America. "Automotive parts suppliers and other volume part manufacturers will improve quality, while reducing costs. That's the genius behind the GENIUS 500."
The GENIUS 500 features 630mm, 630mm and 1000mm X, Y and Z travels, a 500mm x 500mm pallet with 800mm clearance diameter and 16,000 RPM spindle with output of 25 HP / 37.5KW. Acceleration forces are resolved in a vertical plane directly through the walls of the machine base, into the machine foundations, enabling accelerations of 2.5g and velocities up to 180m/min. The Z-axis is powered by a conventional ball screw and servo motor combination to provide higher feed forces than possible with linear motor drives.
The GENIUS 500 is available with a pallet exchange system for stand-alone, small cell applications or with direct loading into a hydraulically actuated work-holding fixture via overhead gantry or robot.
