### Q: What are the advantages of mineral casting over traditional cast iron for machine beds?
**A**: Mineral casting (polymer concrete) offers superior vibration damping, better thermal stability, and faster production times compared to cast iron, while maintaining excellent rigidity for precision machining applications.

### Q: How does the bed and column design affect CNC machining accuracy?
**A**: The bed and column provide the foundational structure that maintains geometric alignment under cutting forces. Proper design with reinforcement ribs and precision mounting surfaces ensures minimal deflection, directly impacting positional accuracy and surface finish quality.

### Q: What maintenance considerations are important for machine bed and column assemblies?
**A**: Regular inspection of leveling feet/foundation pads, monitoring for wear on guideway mounting surfaces, and ensuring proper lubrication systems are crucial. Environmental factors like temperature stability and foundation integrity also significantly affect long-term performance.
