Gear Cutting Capabilities Added to Multitasking Machine



The Mazak INTEGREX i-100ST multitasking machine with SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY adds gear cutting to it capabilities in addition to bringing high throughput to small complex parts production. The machine has two turning spindles, a milling spindle and a lower turret for processing first and second machining operations simultaneously or performing required sequential operations on a single workpiece.

Through the SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY process-performance platform, the INTEGREX i-100ST features optimized CNC programming, new hardware, high-speed servo systems and improved ergonomics for an overall boost in performance.

The turning spindles on the INTEGREX i-100ST share performance capabilities as they both employ a 15 HP integral motor spindle with maximum 6,000 RPM spindle speeds. The main spindle indexes in 0.0001° increments for high-precision C-axis contouring, while the second spindle provides increments of 0.001°. Each spindle features a 6" chuck with a 2.4" bore size that can accommodate bar stock of up to 2" in diameter.

The INTEGREX i-100ST employs a 10 HP, 12,000 RPM milling spindle mounted in the rotating B-axis with a range of 240° in 0.0001° indexing increments. And for high accuracy of motion, B-axis scale feedback comes standard on the machine. The machine's 36-tool magazine accommodates tools up to 5.1" in diameter when neighboring stations are empty and up to 3.5" in diameter when stations are occupied.

The machine's lower drum turret carries nine tools and can work at either the main or second spindle with the same tool, allowing the turret to perform balanced cutting operations on one part working in tandem with the machine's vertical milling spindle. There is also the option for milling capability with the lower turret.

For off-centerline operations, the INTEGREX i-100ST, while compact in size, provides axis travels of 8.2" in Y, 17.7" with a below centerline capability of 1.96" in X and 35.5" in Z; thereby allowing the machine to process a wide range of part sizes and shapes. Furthermore, the machine's three linear axes attain rapid traverse rates of 1,575 IPM.

As part of SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY, the machine features the latest MAZATROL SmoothX CNC that helps make it easy to generate programs for complex parts production. It also has several functions that are engineered to ensure short machining cycle times, especially in fine increment programs for simultaneous 5-axis operations and free-form die-mold machining.

Furthermore, the Position Controlled Hobbing Function on the CNC brings accuracy and convenience to hobbing and skiving operations. It synchronizes the workpiece and cutter at any time so that operators can change the spindle override while cutting, adjust spindle speeds during operation and check a part's surface finish via manual interruption.

A large 19" display on the MAZATROL SmoothX CNC presents critical machine data within a single page view, while the tilt control panel allows for positioning based on operator height. A multi-touch screen, similar to that of a smartphone, enables programming operations. An SD card allows the CNC to store up to 32 GB of data.
