Mazak now offers its space-saving, highperformance VERTICAL CENTER NEXUS COMPACT 5X Vertical Machining Center as part of a self-contained, prefabricated automated cell that provides efficient, lights-out manufacturing for small-to-medium sized parts.

Mazak Corp. has unveiled its new INTEGREX i- 400AM (additive manufacturing) hybrid multitasking machine.

Marubeni Citizen-Cincom announced its next level in the Cincom L Series Innovation lineup, the L20 Type XII.

Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.

Bosch Rexroth is offering educational resource kits to help machine builders, systems integrators and manufacturing end-users address engineering challenges in factory automation, linear motion and mobile engineering.

The new SVP 7010 expands the Sytronix family of ready-to-install variable-speed pump drives offered by Rexroth.

Variable speed control for electronic drives is a main factor for increasing energy efficiency in machine engineering. With the EFC 3600 variable frequency drive series, Bosch Rexroth offers the economic benefits for general automation, material handling and pumps, fans and compressors, which had up to now been operated continuously and inefficiently.

Makino Inc. announces the new F-Series vertical machining center designed to provide stiffness and rigidity for chatter-free cutting, agility for high-speed and hard milling and accuracies for tight tolerance blends and matches typical of complex, 3-D contoured geometry associated with die/mold and medical production.

ThemmC-R automation system from Makino Inc. is for robotic fixture plate distribution in 4- and 5-axis horizontal and vertical machining centers.

Makino announces the release of the UPV-3 and UPV-5 wire EDM with an oil-based dielectric fluid system for high-accuracy machining of hardened materials and mirror-like surface finishing capabilities.
