Automated DONE IN ONE Part Processing

Mazak recently demonstrated its MULTIPLEX W-200Y Multi-Tasking CNC turning center-a productive machining system in terms of DONE IN ONE part-processing capabilities-paired with a GL150 gantry loader/unloader for continues part flow.

The factory-supplied GL150 gantry loader/unloader provides fast workpiece exchanges to achieve approximately 20% shorter load/unload times due to a new rack-and-pinion design that allows for simultaneous motion of doors, chuck confirmations and linear rail motion to reduce overall tack times. Additionally, a special continuous loop conveyor system-with specifications provided by Mazak's Automation Group-allows for uninterrupted production. At random intervals, finished parts can also be dropped off on an exit conveyor for full inspection.

Designed for single set-up, mid- to high-volume production and continuous operations, the MULTIPLEX W-200Y incorporates dual spindles and dual turrets as well as milling tools with Y-axis capability. Since both spindles offer identical performance, part processing flexibility is increased, and full 360° clamping units are incorporated into the integral spindles to further increase C-axis indexing accuracy.

Both the MULTIPLEX W-200Y's main and second spindles accommodate 8" chucks and deliver 5,000 RPM and 20 HP of machining speed and power. With a combined 24-tool capacity, the left and right turrets feature 5,000 RPM rotary tool spindles.

For expanded part size versatility, the maximum swing and maximum machining diameter of the MULTIPLEX W-200Y both measure 12.60" (320 mm), while maximum bar capacity is 2.6" (66 mm). A center partition also allows the MULTIPLEX W-200Y to be utilized as two separate machining envelopes should the application require it.

Mazak's SmoothG CNC, with advanced high-performance functionality, makes programming the MULTIPLEX W-200Y fast and easy. The machine is also MTConnect ready for convenient networking.
