The INTEGREX e-1600V/10, for example, can machine a maximum workpiece diameter of 2,050mm up to a height of 1,600mm, whilst the high-rigidity base construction, coupled with the double column design enables the spindle to reach 540mm beyond the centre line.

Large chip volumes typically associated with this type of application are efficiently dispersed from the working area by the combination of a chuted bed design with an integrated Niagara coolant wash that covers the full X-axis length.

The machine's special box-type design integrates its base, column and table to ensure consistent, highly rigid cutting performance, provided by its 26,000rpm, or optional 30,000rpm, main spindle.

Reducing in-process time down to a minimum is a critical factor for the automotive supply chain and multi-surface, 5-axis machining, capable of what Mazak call a DONE-IN-ONE solution, is becoming more and more prevalent. Mazak’s flagship INTEGREX i-series has become an increasingly popular solution, capable of machining complex shapes in a single set-up, which in turn increases productivity and saves time on fixture preparation.

The MULTIPLEX combines two turning centres with milling capacity to perform a variety of machining tasks, such as continuous/simultaneous machining carried out on both spindles, and automatic workpiece transfer from one spindle to another. 

 The VERTICAL CENTER PRIMOS, is a compact, high speed vertical machining centre capable of exceptionally high metal removal rates. Power is supplied by a 12,000rpm/ 11kW spindle with 30 taper interface that delivers high-productivity performance with lower tooling investment costs; an optional 20,000 rpm spindle is also available for higher speed applications.

The QUICK TURN PRIMOS (QTP) is aimed specifically at the automotive subcontracting market and is capable of rapid traverse rates of 30 m/min in both the X- and Z-axes, which means fast cycle-times for high accuracy components.

HCN-5000/50, for example, is a highly agile machine capable of handling large prismatic workpieces, with the benefit of having tool holding capacity for large diameter/lengths tools used, for example, in block applications. The machine is equipped with a powerful 10,000rpm, 50 taper 37kW spindle and is capable of rapid traverse rates of 60m/min to maximise productivity and reduce non-cutting time.
