With the three-point support system, the a71 can be installed quickly if the shop floor has a certain level of rigidity. This system also allows the machine to be moved quickly if the production layout is changed, and it eliminates the need for leveling maintenance.

High-speed movement during long hours of operation causes the ball screws to generate heat that can affect accuracy and machining performance. On the a71, cooling oil controlled to the bed temperature is circulated to the nuts and through the hollow ball screws to suppress this heat generation.
