Machine Tools – Metalcutting

Mazak Corp.'s family of hybrid multitask machining centers includes the VTC-300C FSW, which combines advanced milling capabilities with friction stir welding (FSW) technology. With a full traveling-column design, automatic toolchanger and powerful 40-taper spindle in addition to the FSW package, this machine helps shops achieve reduced lead times and greater part accuracy with less required capital equipment and floor space – all while enabling completely novel methods for processing parts with strong welds.

With its VC-500A/5X AM HWD, Mazak provides the benefits of hybrid multitasking hot wire deposition (HWD) part processing. With capabilities beyond conventional multitasking, the VC-500A/5X AM HWD reduces lead times and part costs, increases machining accuracy and part quality, while also providing even higher levels of productivity,nflexibility and profitability.

Mazak Corp. offers the VC-500 AM hybrid multitasking machine, which combines full 5-axis subtractive capability and additive technology to enhance product design, reduce time to market and cut R&D costs. Designed and manufactured in the Mazak iSmart Factory, the compact, cost-effective VC-500 AM brings together Mazak's considerable expertise in fiber laser technology and additive manufacturing.

The versatile Variaxis i-800 machining center uses full, simultaneous 5-axis capabilities to perform multiple and complex curved-surface machining on large, heavy workpieces in single setups. The Variaxis i-800 reduces production lead times, improves machining accuracy and lowers operating expenses. Furthermore, it can tackle a wide range of applications, from heavy-duty cutting to high-speed cutting of aluminum and other nonferrous materials.

Mazak Corp. offers the SQR-250 turning center for the fast, accurate production of long shaft or chucked workpieces. The machine features a powerful single spindle with two 45-degree opposed-wedge style turrets that cut simultaneously to slash cycle times and provide balanced cutting.

Mazak Corp.'s Quick Turn 550MY CNC turning center with multitasking combines advanced technology, productivity and value to deliver exceptional performance for shops large and small. As an MY configuration machine, the Quick Turn 550MY features milling capabilities and Y-axis functionality along with a standard through-hole chuck package to process a wide range of medium or larger-diameter parts in single setups.

Mazak Corp. offers the Integrex i-100 Bartac-S multitask machine, which incorporates enhanced CNC technology and high-speed servo systems to offer high levels of productivity when processing small high-precision parts innsingle setups, as well as machining bar material up to 4" in diameter.

Mazak Corp. has introduced its new Mazatrol SmoothAi CNC, which is available on the Integrex i-450H S Multi-Tasking Machine. In addition to the control, the machine has a new design that increases flexibility and enhances machine performance for significantly easier automation integration, allowing shops to cost effectively boost the output of existing workforces.

Mazak Corp.'s Integrex i-400ST multitask machine is available with two turning spindles, a milling spindle and lower turret – a configuration that can process first and second operations simultaneously or perform required sequential operations on a single workpiece.

Mazak Corp.'s highly productive Integrex i-300ST multitask machine is available with the company's spindle health monitoring system. As a revolutionary new tool powered by AI technology, the system monitors spindle health to help minimize unexpected machine downtime.

Mazak Corp. offers the Integrex i-200ST AG hybrid multitask machine for Done In One gear production. Equipped with the Auto Gear (AG) package, the machine efficiently processes mid-size complex components with the added versatility of twin spindles, milling spindle (S) and a lower turret (T), as well as a full range of Smooth Technology solutions.

Mazak Corp.'s HQR-250MSY multitask turning center can process parts using a wide range of different tools. With its upper turret with rotary tool milling (M), second spindle (S) and Y-axis capabilities (Y), this productive machine delivers Done In One part-processing opportunities and high-volume throughput.
