Enjoy this machining demonstration on a Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO – a BT50 simultaneous 5-axis, high precision vertical machining center.
Application: Hydro manifold block | Material: 1045 | Size: 340 mm x 480 mm x 480 mm
The Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO vertical machining center is an enhanced version of a popular 5-axis machine, with a powerful CNC, faster machining cycle times, expanded workpiece capacities and more automation options.
The Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO is equipped with the MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC. It features such functions as SMOOTH Machining Configuration (SMC) for process optimization with real-time operator control of a wide range of cutting parameters and Ai Thermal Shield for stable machining accuracy through smart compensation for heat displacement.
The Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO achieves rapid traverse rates of 48 mm in the X, Y and Z axes that contribute significantly to reduced cycle times. To accommodate larger workpieces, axis strokes increased to 750 mm in X, 890 mm in Y and 600 mm in Z.
Maximum workpiece weight capacities are 1,000 kg on the single-table version of the Mazak Variaxis i-800 NEO, and up to 700 kg with a two-pallet changer.
The machine handles maximum tool lengths up to 415 mm in available magazine capacities of 30, 40, 80 120 tools. A new servo drive shortens tool wait times by up to 58%, and a 4.3 second chip-to-chip tool change time helps further reduce noncut time.
For additional flexibility, automation options include a two-pallet changer, along with the Mazak Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) compact multiple pallet stocker system and the modular Mazak PALLETECH System. The VARIAXIS i-800 NEO can work within the same PALLETECH cell alongside other popular Mazak machines.
