On the one hand, the sloping bed concept used ensures optimum chip fall. Combined with the integrated flat guides in all main linear axes, maximum stability is guaranteed.

In this case, cast steel is used as a homogeneous building material in order to ensure uniform thermal behaviour. Today, one often hears of so-called mineral casting. This should be thermally even better than cast steel. But is it really? In this case, however, it is repeatedly “concealed” that you then have to screw linear guides made of steel onto this mineral casting (synthetic resin + concrete). I.e. two materials with two different expansion coefficients collide. Tensions arise between the two materials. The expansion advantage is thus eliminated.

Then why is mineral casting still used? The answer is in the price! The production costs are only ¼ as high as in the case of cast steel. Do you get this price advantage from the machine manufacturers, or does the shareholder get this price advantage?
POS relies on cast steel for technical reasons in order to be technically optimally positioned.
