Speed, Precision and Versatility Take Center Stage at MAZAK Northeast Event
Mazak will welcome manufacturers from the New England and Mid-Atlantic states to its DISCOVER MORE WITH MAZAK Northeast event on June 10-11 at the Mazak Northeastern Technology Center in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. The Mazak Northeast event will spotlight the latest machine technology, automation opportunities, and application support available to aerospace, defense, medical, and precision machining industries that need to make more parts faster, hold tighter tolerances, and adhere to strict part specifications.
Live real-world part cutting demonstrations will showcase the advantages of machines for Multi-Tasking, full five-axis machining, vertical machining, CNC turning, and Swiss-type production turning.
Those shops looking for high part-processing productivity will experience Mazak’s INTEGREX j-300, QT-Ez 10MY, and QRX-50MSY Multi-Tasking machine tools. For DONE IN ONE® single setup machining, the INTEGREX j-300 specializes in 4-axis simultaneous machining with 5-axis tool tip positioning and will machine a threaded nut with multiple features. The machine performs turning, milling, and drilling operations and features a main turning spindle with C-axis control and 10-inch chuck capability for the quick, accurate processing of simple and complex workpieces.
The QRX-50MSY, another DONE IN ONE machine, is the latest addition to Mazak’s versatile and efficient HQR Series of 2-turret/2-spindle CNC turning centers with milling and Y-axis functions. The machine boasts a 15% smaller footprint, with floor dimensions of 119.3 inches by 86.6 inches while maintaining throughput and reducing cycle times. Additionally, its modular design uses common machine components such as identical left and right spindles, upper and lower turrets, and upper and lower carrier drives.
Mazak’s Kentucky-built QT-Ez 10MY Turning Center will demonstrate its Multi-Tasking capability together with a Mazak Ez LOADER 20 compact collaborative robot automation system. Cutting a threaded spindle component, the machine features milling and Y-axis off-centerline capability, a 10-inch chuck, and a 20-inch bed length as well as an 8-inch chuck option.
On the vertical milling side, Mazak will showcase its VARIAXIS C-600 Vertical Machining Center cutting application-specific aerospace and medical parts, the VC-Ez 20 Vertical Machining Center machining high-demand job shop parts, and the VC-Ez 16X Vertical Machining Center demonstrating full 5-axis capabilities.
The VARIAXIS C-600 incorporates a rigid C-frame for high dynamics and structural stiffness. Compared to a standard 3-axis vertical mill or even a traditional 4+1 trunnion setup, the machine delivers true simultaneous 5-axis capability with greater table load, superior kinematics, and vastly reduced setup times across multi-face parts.
The VC-Ez 20 and VC-Ez 16X are part of Mazak’s Kentucky-designed and built Ez Series of machines that combine compact footprints with streamlined programming and fast setup capability. The VC-Ez 20 delivers greater throughput, process flexibility, and efficient floor space utilization.
The VC-Ez 16X’s 5-axis rotary/tilt trunnion table with roller gear cam technology increases part-production capabilities with 360° of C-axis rotation and -110° to +40° of B-axis tilting capacity. In addition to Mazak’s MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC, VC-Ez vertical machining centers are now available with the option of a MAZATROL SmoothG CNC that features model-assisted programming to simplify part creation and reduce programming time.
Completing the lineup of machining technologies in action, Mazak’s SYNCREX 25/8 represents Swiss-type machining the Mazak way and will machine hydraulic valves at the event. With a maximum bar diameter of 1 inch, the SYNCREX 25/8 powers through the production of parts with a 10,000 rpm main spindle as well as a 10,000 rpm counter spindle. The machine’s 8-axis configuration provides four cross-working live tools on the main spindle, as well as up to six live tools and a Y-axis for the counter spindle.
All Mazak machines, including those displayed at the Mazak Northeast event, are backed by Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care, the industry’s comprehensive machine support program. In addition, Mazak Capital Equipment Financing gives shops an easy one-stop, factory-direct financing option for Mazak equipment.
