|
Mazak will be showcasing 20 new machines. A variety of machines will be making their North American debut at the show. Mazak will also feature new ancillary technologies designed to increase machine performance. All Mazak machines at the show will offer increased ergonomic and environmental performance due to new body designs created by industrial designer Ken Okuyama. All Mazak machines will perform cutting demonstrations to present solution ideas for various industries, such as aerospace, energy, heavy machinery equipment, valve, medical, die/mold and general job shops.
"With the introduction of
new multi-tasking machines debuting at IMTS, Mazak will expand its
portfolio to provide multi-tasking solutions for any manufacturing
environment," said a company spokesperson. "This array of
equipment offers technology for simple to complex geometry, prototyping
all the way up to high-volume production in environments ranging from
basic job shops to high tech, specialized manufacturing cells." |

The j-200 and j-400 will be on display, demonstrating 4-axis simultaneous machining with 5-axis tip positioning. The machines feature large Y-axis strokes and offer a milling spindle that can be indexed in 5-degree (1-degree optional) increments over a total range from -30 to 190-degrees, allowing outer diameter machining and facing with the same tool.
The i-200S, i-300 and i-630V will showcase a core of full multi-tasking technology and 5-axis simultaneous machining to perform complex machining processes for various sized parts.
The INTEGREX e-Series will be represented by the e-670H, the latest addition to this very successful line of machines. Designed for the production of large parts, the e-670H offers larger Y-axis travel and, at the show, will perform demonstrations of gear cutting processes on a 15 x 80 inch shaft.
The QTN 250MY, QTN 350MSY and QTN 450MY are new models in the QUICK TURN NEXUS line of machines that perform turning and milling operations. "The QTN series is designed to bring together advanced technology, productivity and value to deliver high performance for shops large and small," said the spokesperson. In addition to the NEXUS series, Mazak will introduce the new QUICK TURN SMART 200M with simplified CNC control for EIA and conversational programming.
Mazak offers an array of machining centers designed to boost productivity and provide high accuracy, precision and reliability. Several new models will be on display at IMTS 2010.
"The first machine in the HYPER VARIAXIS line, the HYPER VARIAXIS 630 offers high ergonomics and allows unhindered access to a work area," the spokesperson said. "The machine's advanced design includes a roller guide system on the X, Y and Z axes and a new headstock with 18,000 RPM spindle, which features increased spindle rigidity and cooling system capacity to support high speed and high efficiency machining.
"The VARIAXIS series will be highlighted via the VARIAXIS 500 II 5-axis Multi-Tasking center. The VARIAXIS 500 II is designed to achieve efficient production of large, complicated parts.
"Mazak will also feature the VERTICAL CENTER SMART 430A. Created to perform general machining operations ranging from rough cutting to high-speed machining, the VERTICAL CENTER SMART 430A is designed to make operation reliable and efficient through a variety of Mazak Intelligent Machine functions.
"The FJV series of double-column vertical machining centers will be demonstrated via the FJV-35/60 II. The series is able to accommodate an optional angle tool to perform side-face machining. The accuracy and rigidity provided by the double-column construction is suitable for industries such as aerospace and die/mold.
"Mazak offers a variety of vertical and horizontal turning centers with milling capabilities. The company's array of products contains ideal solutions for producing parts from simple to complex, ranging in size from small to heavy and large.
"The new MEGATURN NEXUS 900 vertical turning center will be used to demonstrate the capabilities of this line of machines. Excelling in the heavy duty cutting of large cast iron and steel workpieces, the MEGATURN NEXUS series is designed for manufacturers producing parts for construction machinery, industrial machinery and energy field components.
"Represented by the new SLANT TURN NEXUS 550M at IMTS, the SLANT TURN NEXUS series excels in the production of components such as oil field pipes and shafts, heavy machinery and aircraft components. The heavy-duty CNC turning center features a powerful main spindle and milling turret to increase machining productivity for long, heavy shafts.
The VT-20 was designed to reduce setup times and improve throughput for valve manufacturers. The machine completes more than 75% of valve applications in a single setup, while maintaining high tolerances.
"Mazak's booth will also feature the SuperTurbo-X 510 Mark III, a hybrid laser production system from Mazak Optonics.
"Mazak offers a broad array of automation options to help American manufacturers maintain a global competitive advantage. Several new solutions will be debuting at IMTS 2010.
"Equipped with a bar feeder and gantry loader, the twin-spindle, two-turret HYPER QUADREX series reaches new levels of productivity. The potential for reliable unmanned operation will be demonstrated at the show via a cell containing the HYPER QUADREX 200MS.
"A HORIZONTAL CENTER NEXUS 6800 cell will be highlighting the potential of the new 3-Palletech system, which allows up to three levels of pallets to be used. The new 3-level system can store raw workpieces on a stocker of pallets to reduce material preparation for better production scheduling. A new tilt/rotational loading station is optionally available for easy setup."
