New Swiss-Style Machine Series Launched

Mazak offers an all-new line of SYNCREX Swiss-style machines.

(l-r) Dan Janka, President, and Kevin Bates, General Manager, Mazak Midwest Region, with the Mazak SYNCREX 25-9.

Mazak expanded its machine tool technology portfolio with the debut of an all-new line of SYNCREX Swiss-style machines at the company's DISCOVER 2021 event. The SYNCREX models feature 7-, 8- and 9-axis configurations and are optimized for high production of small parts.

These new Swiss-type machines use a collet plus single-motor ball spline drive for heightened accuracy and reduced material waste. A 10,000 RPM spindle and a variable vibrating system help provide stable, repeatable performance.

"Now shops can count on Mazak quality to expand their productivity into new areas and applications," said Dan Janka, President of Mazak Corporation. "We are proud to produce the new series in Kentucky and are in the process of adding a new building to our Florence campus specifically for that production."

Mazak's SYNCREX machines accommodate a maximum of 35 tools in a standard configuration: 22 static and 13 live. An exclusively designed automated tool setter checks, measures and sets up tools to optimize the process, allowing shops to reduce set-up times from days to hours and regain valuable cut time.

A high-rigidity base casting creates greater stability and reduced vibration and thermal distortion for increased tool life, enhanced part quality and better surface finishes. A twin-screen system with built-in AutoDesk software helps further speed part set-ups and production.

Mazak SYNCREX machines feature the new MAZATROL SmoothSt CNC that features Mazak's Swiss Setup Assist (MSSA) for fast and easy job set-ups along with Mazak Turning Chip Control (MTCC) functionality. For further ease of use, the control's soft key PLC functions include those for tool touch off, part cut off, retract point and start position. MAZATROL SmoothSt also allows for synchronous control, rigid tapping with all spindles and cross and front simultaneous machining.

Features and benefits:

  • Optional auto tool setter
  • Tool setting completed inside the machine work area
  • Removable tool probe
  • Probe can be held in the guide bushing or sub spindle, allowing tool setting for front and back working tools
  • Reduced set-up times.
