The Mira J9 is a desktop 5-axis simultaneous CNC mill designed for machining plastic, hard wood, and metal. The system includes an automatic tool changer, enhanced carriages, a high-performance spindle, and a hermetically sealed work area.
The rotary head utilizes a dual-bearing support structure, a harmonic reducer, and a servo motor.
The dual-bearing support structure carries the rotary head at both ends, with rotation driven through a harmonic reducer by a servo motor.
The A-axis is mechanically aligned with the linear axes to maintain kinematic accuracy.
Three linear axes (X, Y, Z) plus two rotary axes (A, B) turning 360° continuously — the workpiece presents to the cutter from any angle in one setup.
Triggered via the M6 command, the software interface, or a button in the work area, behind an automated chip-resistant cover. The Tool Height Sensor measures tool height after every change.
The NSK Nakanishi E3000 3060 AQC — 350 W, ceramic bearings, pneumatic tool clamping, runout (spindle accuracy) under 1 micron (0.001 mm). 60,000 RPM with air, 30,000 without.
The Quick-Release System mini pallet repositions within 1 micron — a workpiece can leave the machine and return to the same position. Vice or direct screw mounting.
The smallest commanded move is 0.0003 mm, with positioning of 0.008 mm and repeatability of 0.010 mm — verified before every machine ships.
A hermetically sealed work area for plastic, hard wood, and metal — drawing roughly 2.0 kW from single-phase 110 or 220 VAC. 660 lb (300 kg) on a 36.6 × 28.7″ footprint.
The machine supports traditional mounting methods and a Quick-Release System (QRS) utilizing a mini pallet.
The QRS pallet positioning accuracy is within 1 micron — a workpiece can leave the machine and return to the same position.
Workpieces can be secured using a standard vice or mounted directly to the pallet with screws.
Square and irregular stock clamps in a vice fixed to the pallet — the traditional mounting method, unchanged.
Plates and fixtures bolt straight to the pallet — no vice in the way of the cutter. Custom pallets are available on request.
The ATC features a 15-tool capacity and is protected by an automated, chip-resistant cover. Tool clamping is pneumatic and operates using an air-powered system.
Tool changes can be triggered automatically via the M6 command, manually through the software interface, or via a physical button in the work area.
A Tool Height Sensor (THS) equipped with an LED contact indicator automatically measures tool height after every change.
The machine is equipped with the NSK Nakanishi NR3060-AQC spindle (E3000 series).
Maximum speed is 60,000 RPM with air and 30,000 RPM without — at 350 watts, with runout (spindle accuracy) under 1 micron (0.001 mm).
Tools mount in conical holders and clamp pneumatically with compressed air — the same architecture as industrial-scale CNC equipment.
Two modes, independently configurable, both aimed at the cutting zone.
Mist mode delivers a user-adjustable mixture of pressurized air and coolant to clear chips from the cutting zone.
Coolant mode delivers low-pressure liquid coolant directly to the tool. Flow is controlled by an electromagnetic valve that creates customizable pulsing intervals.
Resolution of 0.00001″ (0.0003 mm) across a working volume of 4.0 × 4.0 × 5.0″ — with both rotary axes turning 360° continuously.
Working volume: 4.0″ (102 mm) in X, 4.0″ (102 mm) in Y, and 5.0″ (140 mm) in Z. Both rotary axes, A and B, turn 360 degrees continuously.
The machine measures 36.6″ W × 28.7″ D × 42″ H (920 × 730 × 1,050 mm) and weighs 660 pounds (300 kg).
Rapid prototyping, watch production, microscopic sensors, biomedical components, and micro-scale structures — machined in plastic, hard wood, and metal.
Movement plates, wheels, and bridges in brass, gold, titanium, and stainless steel.
Wound microcoils and NMR probes — 0.02 mm traces milled from copper-coated Teflon.
Microfluidic chips — channels measured in micrometers, cut clean in plastic without melting.

NSK Nakanishi E3000 3060 AQC — 60,000 RPM with air, 350 W, runout (spindle accuracy) under 0.001 mm. Tools mount in conical holders and clamp pneumatically. Coolant nozzles flank the collet.
15 stations behind an automated, chip-resistant cover that shields the magazine during machining and opens on change.
Supported at both ends, driven through a harmonic reducer by a servo motor. The A-axis is mechanically aligned with the linear axes to maintain kinematic accuracy.
An LED contact indicator confirms the touch — tool height is measured automatically after every change.

Plastic, hard wood, and metal. Applications include rapid prototyping, watch production, microscopic sensors, biomedical components, and micro-scale structures.
The ATC holds 15 tools behind an automated, chip-resistant cover. Changes trigger via the M6 command, through the software interface, or via a physical button in the work area. After every change, the Tool Height Sensor — an LED contact indicator that registers the touch — measures tool height.
The NSK Nakanishi NR3060-AQC (E3000 series): 60,000 RPM with air, 30,000 RPM without, 350 watts, with runout (spindle accuracy) under 1 micron (0.001 mm). Tool clamping is pneumatic.
For full capability, yes. The spindle reaches 60,000 RPM with air (30,000 RPM without), tool clamping is air-powered (40 psi at the spindle, 87 psi for the ATC), and a 0.3-micron filter is built in.
The working volume is 4.0″ (102 mm) in X, 4.0″ (102 mm) in Y, and 5.0″ (140 mm) in Z, with both rotary axes turning 360° continuously.
Workpieces mount to a mini pallet — in a standard vice or directly with screws — and the pallet seats on its chuck with positioning accuracy within 1 micron, so work can leave the machine and return to the same position. Custom pallets are available on request.
