Mazak Corp.'s Ultimate Die & Mold (UD) 400/5X 5-axis vertical machining center is suitable for applications ranging from medical and dental instruments to mold and die components and beyond. The machine sports a rigid composite base and double-column symmetrical construction that allow its state-of-the-art spindle to reach high levels of precision and speed.

Mazak Corp.'s VCN-575C vertical machining center brings advanced technology, performance and value to heavy-torque machining applications. Made in Kentucky, the machine features a traditional C-frame design, vibration damping, rigid base and headstock/column castings for extreme stability.

Mazak Corp.'s Kentucky-built VCN-570C vertical machining center paired with an integrated automation package and equipped with the company's Smooth Synchronous Tapping Software. Designed to process large parts or multiple small workpieces in single machine setups, the VCN-570C brings advanced technology, performance and value to an expansive range of metalworking applications.

Mazak Corp.'s VC-500C/2PC vertical machining center brings a compact design and increased production capabilities for small to medium part machining in a variety of industries. The 3-axis machine debuted its new 40" inline two-pallet changer with rotary table mounted on one pallet and multiple vices on the second pallet to maximize spindle utilization and allows shops to benefit from continuous uninterrupted production.

Mazak Corp.'s VC-500A/5X vertical machining center cost-effectively processes small complex parts, such as throttle bodies, with the full 5-axis machining enabled by the machine's trunnion-style rotary/tilt table. The machine features the Mazatrol SmoothX CNC, a control that delivers many advanced functions to allow for faster part cycle times and easier EIA/ISO or Mazatrol programming.

Made in Kentucky, the simple but innovative Mazak VC-300A vertical machining center with 3-axis table can take 40-taper cuts in hard-to-machine 410 stainless material on a typical 30-taper-sized machine.

Mazak Corp. has launched All Axes, a new podcast developed to keep manufacturers in-the-know about all things manufacturing. The podcast features original content on a wide range of industry-critical subjects and issues affecting today's North American manufacturers – from additive technologies, automation, multitask machines and the skilled labor shortage to the industrial internet of things, digitally connected factories, cybersecurity and more.

Mazak Corp.'s Mega Turn 900M Vertical Turning Center combines turning and secondary machining operations to efficiently cut large cast iron and steel workpieces, such as those commonly processed in the construction machinery, industrial machinery and jet engine manufacturing sectors.

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.
