Mazak Southeast Event April 29-30

The Mazak Southeast Technology Center in Suwanee, GA, will hold a Discover More With Mazak event April 29 and 30 from 9 AM to 5 PM. It is open to manufacturers working in the aerospace, automotive, medical and other key regional industries. Registered attendees will be able to see the company's latest machine tools and CNC technology in action, as well as discuss total manufacturing solutions with ancillary machine tool equipment suppliers.

During the event, Mazak will demonstrate advancements in multitasking, 5-axis, milling and turning technologies on its latest machine tools, which include the QUICK TURN UNIVERSAL 350MY, VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL 500 5X and VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL 400T.

Mazak will also run simulations of its new MAZATROL SmoothX CNC. "Made for complex, multi-axis machine tools, the company engineered the CNC to offer maximum speeds that are four times faster than previous-generation controls," said a company spokesperson. "The CNC coincides with Mazak's new SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY process-performance platform that spans the entire part production landscape, from programming to metal removal to data collection. As a result, manufacturers can shorten machine cycle times, enhance simultaneous 5-axis operations and more.

"A special kiosk on the company's recently announced INTEGREX i-400AM HYBRID multitasking machine will explain how this forthcoming turnkey solution represents an innovative alternative to conventional part processing in terms of design and machining."

Mazak designed the INTEGREX i-400AM primarily for small lot production of very difficult-to-machine materials, such as those used in the aerospace, energy and medical industries. "With its additive capability, the machine can easily generate/clad near-net-shape component features and then quickly complete them via high-precision finish machining operations," said the spokesperson.

Throughout the two-day event, attendees will also be able to connect with suppliers of cutting tools, bar feeders, coolant systems, workholding technology, 3D software and conveyor equipment to discuss total manufacturing solutions. Suppliers in attendance will include Horn, Kennametal, Sandvik Coromant, LNS, Kurt, SolidWorks and Jorgensen Conveyors.

Sprint Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski will stop by the event to meet with attendees and sign autographs as part of Mazak's technical sponsorship of Team Penske. "Mazak Corporation and Team Penske have been partners since 1994, and over the past two decades, the team has engineered an edge over the competition by keeping more parts manufacturing in-house on equipment supplied by Mazak," said the spokesperson.
