At IMTS 2024 in booth 338300, Mazak will showcase its ongoing commitment to continuous innovation in machine tool technology, automation and digital solutions designed to help manufactures do more and make more. Technology for job shops, multitasking, advanced manufacturing and high-production will be featured in live demonstrations processing real-world industry-specific parts.
Mazak's booth will feature a wide range of machines from its Ez, SYNCREX, QUICK TURN, NEO and INTEGREX series. Booth visitors will also see Mazak's most recent automation and digital technology and discover Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care as well as Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF) for streamlined equipment financing.
Mazak continues to expand its Ez Series of machines with the addition of a 50-taper VC-Ez 32 with its 32" Y-axis, and a new 5-axis model-the VC-Ez 20X-which will process parts in the job shop area of the IMTS booth. Like all the Kentucky-built Ez machines, the VC-Ez 32/50 VMC provides shops affordable access to Mazak reliability and is highly configurable with a full range of options to meet a variety of production needs. The machine features the MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC that gives shops MAZATROL conversational and EIA/ISO G-code programming capabilities.
As the pioneer in multitasking technology, Mazak will feature its QUICK TURN 250MSY CNC turning center that offers reductions in production lead times and costs. The QUICK TURN 250MSY CNC turning center provides milling and Y-axis capability, a direct-drive turret and a rotary tool milling spindle as well as a second turning spindle for true DONE IN ONE part processing.
Mazak also provides multitasking capability in its portfolio of advanced machining solutions. Visitors to the Mazak booth will see the INTEGREX i-100H ST Multi-Tasking Center with a gantry loader. The machine combines the capabilities of a high-powered turning center with those of a full-function machining center to boost productivity. The INTEGREX i-100H ST gives shops the ability to simultaneously machine with two tools using a 6,000 RPM second turning spindle and a lower turret with optional rotary tool capability.
The advanced manufacturing area will also showcase several of Mazak's next generation NEO Series machines. The new HQR 200MSY NEO Series machine will take center stage at IMTS as the company's first turning center machine platform in the NEO Series line.
The HQR-200MSY NEO Multi-Tasking turning center features two spindles and three turrets-two upper and one lower-for enhanced part processing opportunities and high-volume throughput in a single set-up. The machine's main spindle can handle 4" bar stock while the second spindle is capable of processing bar diameters up to 76 mm.
Visitors will also see the HCN-4000 NEO HMC with a PALLETECH system for automated lights-out production. Designed to maximize productivity for virtually any type of part material, the machine's enhancements improve every aspect of performance from stability and accuracy to power consumption and maintenance.
For high production, IMTS attendees will experience the latest models in Mazak's full line of SYNCREX series Swiss-type machines. Mazak's SYNCREX line encompasses machine bar stock capacities ranging from 10 mm to 38 mm.
