Long stroke for multi-surface and 5-axis machining

mazak variaxis c 700 machining area

A wide stroke range of the X- and Z-axis allows the tool to approach the tip and lower part of the workpiece in multi-surface and 5-axis machining, where the B-axis is tilted significantly. It ensures vibration-free machining with short tool projection.

The high feed rates significantly reduce non-cutting time in simultaneous 5-axis machining, achieving high productivity.

 

Selectable spindle for machining workpieces

Variety of spindle selections for matching material properties

We offer a lineup of high rigidity and high speed spindle that can perform heavy duty machining of steel as well as high speed machining of non-ferrous materials such as aluminum.. You can select the optimal spindle to suit your workpiece.

Ai Thermal Shield

Based on spindle speed and temperature of the machine, Ai Thermal Shield suppresses changes in the cutting edge position. It stabilizes continuous machining accuracy through meticulous machine control that takes into account temperature changes, machine position, coolant ON/OFF, and other factors. New algorithms have improved the accuracy of compensation. Furthermore, by accumulating and learning data from subsequent measurements, thermal displacement compensation can be optimized for each machining environment to stabilize machining accuracy.
