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. Designed to provide the aerospace and semiconductor/high-tech industries and others with numerous technological innovations, the HCR-5000 offers, in addition to 5-axis machining, a range of high-speed spindle options, from a standard 12,000-rpm spindle up to a 30,000-rpm version, each of which feature an integral spindle/motor and core cooling that minimize thermal growth for higher accuracy. The machine’s auto toolchanger (ATC) features a standard 40-tool magazine with options for 80, 120 or 160 tools available to fit individual shops’ needs.

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.'s Integrex i-500 advanced multitask machine is the biggest model in the Integrex i Series family and offers manufacturers more options for machining large, complex workpieces. The machine is available with a 5.2” bore and a 15” chuck on the main horizontal turning spindle and is capable of C-axis indexing in 0.0001-degree increments and comes standard with a 40-hp (30 kW) integral spindle motor that provides a maximum spindle speed of 2,500 rpm.

Mazak Corp. offers the high-performance (HP) configuration of its versatile QTU-350 turning center. The Kentucky-built machine can be paired with a RoboJob TA200 automation package to further boost the productivity of this simple, but innovative machine.

Mazak Corp.'s Quick Turn 450 CNC turning center combines advanced technology, productivity and value to deliver exceptional part processing for shops large and small. Additionally, Mazak now offers the machine with an optional, powerful 60-hp integral motor main spindle.

Abrasive grinding and sandblasting are common ways to restore rusty metal surfaces and prepare them for painting. A much easier and very effective alternative is to coat the rust with CorrVerter, a water-based rust passivating primer from Cortec Corp.

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.

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.

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. With Done In One part production ability to handle all processes from raw material input through final machining, the Integrex i-400ST reduces lead times dramatically and eliminates multiple setups for improved part accuracy.

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’s Quick Turn-200MSY turning center combines several features that allow shops to boost productivity and profitability. These include a direct servo-driven turret design, integral motor main and second spindle design, a faster, more powerful milling spindle and Mazak’s Mazatrol SmoothG CNC.

EXAIR's new 1/8 NPT siphon-fed spray nozzles atomize fluids in a range of spray patterns for a wide variety of uses. These are the company’s smallest air atomizing nozzles and are suitable for tight spaces.

The latest release of WORKNC, from Hexagon’s Production Software portfolio, is said to make smart factories even smarter with new and enhanced functionality that addresses a number of manufacturing issues.

A line of low absorption CO2 laser lenses that are designed to run cooler than standard lenses to provide focal length stability for consistent cuts has been introduced by Laser Research Optics.

A portable, ID clamping pipe beveler that is now offered with a powerful new variable-speed electric motor for use on-site or in fabrication shops has been introduced by Esco Tool.

Tungaloy expands its TungThinSlit line of indexable slot milling cutters to include inserts that feature F (sharp) cutting edge preparation. The TungThinSlit slot milling cutter consists of indexable inserts with a unique structure.

Walter has introduced the MC232 Perform line of solid-carbide milling cutters. These milling cutters, the latest addition to Walter’s cost-effective Perform product range, feature a corner radius and reduced neck. Solid-carbide milling cutters with corner radii allow improved approaches to individual component geometries.

BLM Group USA has announced its LT8.20 laser tube cutting system that allows users to choose their preferred laser source, loader/unloader style and positioning of the peripheral equipment to maximize floor space. The LT8.20 can handle cutting diameters of up to 9.5” and bar weight up to 27 lb./ft.

Continuing the ethos of powering a successful digital ecosystem that is smart and fully connected, Hexagon has released the latest NCSIMUL CAM simulation package from its Production Software portfolio.

Tungaloy expands its TungThread line of indexable threading tools to include 11ER external threading inserts, as well as 8x8 mm and 10x10 mm square shank holders to accommodate the new inserts.
