Spindle specifications to meet a wide variety of machining requirements

Spindles selectable according to material properties

The highly rigid spindle can perform heavy duty machining of steel as well as high speed machining of non-ferrous materials such as aluminum. High-speed and high-torque options are available.

SmoothAi spindle (option)

The Mazak Variaxis i NEO series use AI to detect milling spindle vibration and adjust machining conditions automatically to produce unsurpassed surface finishes and high productivity. With the AI, even a less-skilled operator can make adjustments easily in a short time.

Various automated systems to improve productivity

Preparation for hydraulic fixtures (option)

Setup can optionally be supported with hydraulic fixtures that can enable clamping / unclamping of the workpiece. The number of ports can be up to 9 ports for the single table version, 4 ports inside the machine and 8 ports on the workpiece setup station for the 2-pallet changer version. Pneumatic fixtures are also available.

2-pallet changer (option)

The pallet changer option provides rapid changeover of workpieces for continuous machining operation. To achieve higher productivity, the next workpiece can be set up while the current operation is being machined. The 2-pallet changer offers a compact design and is suitable for mass production. Reduced length to pull out the rear conveyor saves space in the maintenance area.

Tool magazine

The standard tool magazine accommodates 30 tools, with 40, 80 and 120-tool options available. This generous capacity provides ample storage for complex workpieces and high-mix production, as well as spare tools for prolonged continuous operations.

Multiple drum tool magazine (option)

The compact tool magazine capacity meets the requirements for small-lot machining of a wide variety of workpieces. Tools load automatically from the multiple-drum tool magazine to the magazine next to the machine. The new shifter mechanism reduces tool waiting time and improves productivity by positioning the tool to be used after the next too. The tool magazine size can be selected based on your production requirements. Optional equipment can be added after machine installation. Tools up to 350 mm (or 360 mm for some tools) in length can be mounted.

Improved environmental performance with energy-saving equipment

Energy Saver

Energy consumption and the regenerative power produced through the energy saving equipment can be viewed visually on the CNC system to stimulate awareness of energy conservation. In addition, the system can control coolant and other equipment based on the cutting amount to reduce power consumption.

* An optional Smooth coolant system is required for the control of coolant and other equipment.

Environmentally friendly Smooth coolant system (option)

Optimal control of coolant discharge amount

Energy saver automatically determines the optimal coolant discharge for energy-saving machining. Processing with reduced power consumption is possible at all times.

* Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO is not supported.

Energy-saving coolant system with sludge removal performance

No need to frequently clean the tank

The coolant tank has a coolant jet that makes a vortex in the center so that small machined chips will not settle in the tank. This feature makes it possible to keep the coolant tank clean and extend the service life of the coolant. Ease of maintenance is also ensured. The frequency of coolant changes is reduced as well as CO2 emissions at coolant disposal.
