Mazak has introduced the precise Ultimate Die & Mold (UD) 400/5X vertical machining center (VMC). "Designed for applications ranging from medical and dental instruments to mold and die components and beyond, the machine features a rigid composite base and double-column symmetrical construction that allow its state-of-the-art spindle to reach the highest levels of precision and speed," said the spokesperson.
The integral 45,000 RPM HSK-E40 spindle, powered by an 18.5 HP motor, features temperature-controlled cooling oil that circulates through the spindle housing to provide stability for even long periods of high-speed operation. Ball screw core cooling controls the temperature further, while 16 temperature sensors throughout the machine detect any other thermal displacement. The machine's thermal shield also controls for environmental temperature fluctuations.
The machine's tilt/rotary table, which gives the machine its full simultaneous 5-axis capability, accommodates workpieces weighing up to 264.55 lbs. and measuring up to 15.75" in diameter and 11.81" in height. The table's B and C axes both utilize direct-drive motors, enabling rapid traverse rates of 60 RPM in the B-axis and 150 RPM in the C-axis.
Axis travels for XYZ measure 15.75", 21.65" and 13.78". The UD-400/5X also includes high-accuracy scale feedback on all its linear and rotary axes as well as high-specification linear guides for smooth movement.
Mazak pairs the UD-400/5X with its MAZATROL SmoothX CNC control for a high degree of precision and performance, especially for machining dies and molds. The control's suite of SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY functions includes: Variable Acceleration Control to allow operators to utilize the high-speed linear axes when possible; Seamless Corner Control to optimize acceleration and deceleration around corners; and Active Vibration Control to minimize vibrations at the program level. All of these functions may be combined to reduce cycle times and boost part accuracy.
