Machining

Mazak Corp.'s HCR-5000 horizontal machining center is a 5-axis machine that provides efficient, high-speed machining of small and mid-sized aluminum components and allows for several automation options for increased output.

Mazak Corp.'s HCN-6800 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center that combines advanced technology and value with a high level of performance and productivity for large-part machining. Equipped with the Mazatrol SmoothG CNC, the machine's advanced programming features and functions offer ease of use, speed and further enhanced machine performance.

Mazak offers the HCN-5000 horizontal machining center with the company's Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) system. Thanks to the compact MPP system, shops that lack the floor space necessary to accommodate a conventional linear horizontal pallet stocker now have the ability to achieve continuous unmanned, lights-out operations.

The high-speed Mazak FJV-35/80 double-column vertical machining center offers high precision over extended periods of operation with enhanced performance, Intelligent Functions and rigid machine construction. Suitable for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, construction, die and mold, and heavy machine, the versatile FJV-35/80 accommodates up to 6,614 lbs. on a 88.19" x 29.53" work table.
