Multi-Tasking Machines Deliver High Precision, Productivity, Energy Efficiency

Mazak continues to expand its NEO Series of machines with the new INTEGREX j-200 and j-200S NEO models. The horizontal Multi-Tasking machines feature single and twin-turning spindle versions with milling spindles to shorten cycle times and provide single set-up part processing. As part of the NEO Series, the machines combine advanced technology and value with high-performance productivity, the company reported.

INTEGREX j-200 and j-200S NEO advanced technology encompasses enhancements that include higher-torque integral spindle technology for increased material removal, specifications for faster spindle RPM, positioning accuracy and higher torque ratings along with expanded tool magazine capacities and longer tool lengths. Added heat displacement compensation equipment provides stable machining accuracy, increased operating efficiency and reduced power consumption.

High-performance specifications for the new INTEGREX j-Series NEOs offer shops increased spindle torque ratings of 20 HP/240 ft-lbs. (15 kW/326 Nm) for main spindles, 20 HP/123 ft-lbs. (15 kW/167 Nm) for second spindles and 25 HP/42 ft-lbs. (18.5 kW/57.3 Nm) for B-axis milling spindles that provide 0.0001° indexing positioning. Tool magazines now accommodate up to 72 tools and allow for maximum tool lengths up to 9.8" (250 mm).

For heat compensation, Mazak's Ai Thermal Shield on the new machines suppresses changes in the cutting edge position based on spindle speed and temperature of the machine. The function stabilizes continuous machining accuracy through meticulous machine control, considering temperature changes, machine position, coolant ON/OFF and other factors. New Ai algorithm calculations improve the accuracy of compensation, and with accumulated and learned data from subsequent measurements, thermal displacement compensation is optimized for each machining environment for stable machining accuracy.

Paired with the INTEGREX j-Series NEO machines, Mazak's Smooth Coolant System boosts energy and labor efficiency. The system reduces coolant cleaning frequency for less required maintenance, while integrated inverter controls for multiple coolant system pumps optimize operational efficiency. This results in power consumption reductions up to 20% and less CO2 emissions. Along with the coolant system, high-capacity coolant tanks enable continuous operation for long periods of time as with fully automated machine operation.

Featuring Mazak's MAZATROL SmoothG control, the machines offer high-speed and high-accuracy machining, offering G-code and conversational programming platforms. The control provides ease of operation with its 19" touchscreen and 3D model-based graphical user interface for intuitive operation like that of smartphones and tablets.

For seamless automation to help shops overcome skilled labor shortages while keeping pace with increasing production demands, Mazak offers its Ez Loader for the new INTEGREX j-200/j-200S NEO machines. The Ez Loader redistributable automation system incorporates a stand-alone, plug & play automation system that uses multiple pallets, an easy to use programmable pendent, compact floor space and all necessary equipment for a flexible hassle-free machine integration and lights-out production.
