Transformational Technology and Next Generation Solutions … Presented Virtually

Machine tool manufacturers like Mazak “never sit still,” and that was evident in the press event I attended this morning on Mazak’s new All Axes Live event series, which kicks off next Tuesday at 11AM EST. These events will be live-streamed to any smart device from the company’s Midwest Technology Center.

Although this virtual event can’t replace the in-person Mazak experience at IMTS, it will provide authentic machine demonstrations and Q&A sessions with technology experts … which let’s face it, is what IMTS is all about.

Dan Janka, Chuck Birkle, Greg Papke, Kevin Bates Matt Bain of Mazak, and Leslie Galbreath of DGS Marketing Engineers, came together virtually to present details on Mazak’s new All Axes Live event.

From a product engineering standpoint, Mazak will showcase:

Scalable automation systems made for easy integration
Next-generation HYBRID multi-tasking part production solutions
Fully secure machine connectivity for simple process optimization
Five-axis machining technology for complex parts
Training, maintenance and service designed for the new normal

VARIAXIS C-600 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center – The new VARIAXIS C-600 five-axis simultaneous vertical machining center is built for increased speed, stability and power as well as maximum tool capacity, making it an ideal five-axis machining entry point for shops of all sizes. The automation-ready machining center features next-generation MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC and integrates seamlessly with two-pallet changers, overhead gantry loaders/unloaders and standalone robots.

MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC – Advanced MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC is designed to simplify everything from part programming to automation integration. This introduction marks the industry’s only dedicated multi-tasking and five-axis CNC. It also makes EIA/ISO and conversational programming faster and easier than ever before and features SMOOTH Project Manager, SMOOTH CAM Ai and MAZATROL TWINS to help expedite, manage, create and deploy part programs.

Mazak Automation Systems – A wide range of automation technology for enhanced productivity and increased machine utilization, including bar feeders, gantry loaders and articulating robots as well as Mazak’s Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP), PALLETECH and MAZATEC Smart Manufacturing Systems. Mazak will showcase a Turn Assist and Mill Assist Robotic System which provide easy and cost effective automation integration for loading turning machines and vertical machining centers.
