Diamond milling allows for the flexible production of optical and high precision parts, but suffers from poor setup and production speeds. This paper presents recent advances that aim towards achieving high performance (HPC) and high speed cutting (HSC) in ultra-precision machining. After a short introduction, the benefits of high speed cutting for both metals and brittle-hard materials are shown. Thereafter, novel mechatronic devices are presented that enable an automated balancing of the applied air bearing spindles and the application of multiple diamond tools on one tool holder and by thus, contribute to HPC. These developments are supplemented by a novel linear guiding system based on electromagnatic levitation that, along with a dedicated model-based control system, enables fast and precise movements of the machine tool. After presenting the recent developments in detail, their synergistic performance is assessed and an outlook to future developments is given.

金刚石铣削可以灵活地生产光学和高精度零件，但安装和生产速度较差。本文介绍了旨在实现超精密加工中的高性能（HPC）和高速切削（HSC）的最新进展。简短介绍后，显示了对金属和脆性材料进行高速切削的好处。此后，提出了新颖的机电一体化设备，该设备能够自动平衡所施加的空气轴承主轴，并在一个刀架上应用多个金刚石工具，从而对HPC有所贡献。这些发展得到了基于电磁悬浮的新型线性导向系统的补充，该系统与专用的基于模型的控制系统一起，可实现机床的快速精确运动。
