Mazak's horizontal machining centers meet a wide range of needs, from high-mix low-volume production to mass-production parts machining.
Mazak's horizontal machining centers include a line-up of No. 40 and No. 50 tapers, as well as high-speed and high-torque spindles, enabling the user to select the optimum spindle for the machining workpiece.
A variety of automation options are also available to improve productivity, such as the multi-stage pallet stocker system (MPP) and pallet transfer type automation system (PALLETECH).
Mazak’s horizontal machining centers offer many advantages such as increased productivity, versatility, and automation capabilities.
Accuracy and Repeatability - Mazak horizontal machining centers provide higher precision due to their rigid design, which minimises vibrations during multi-axis operations.MX Hybrid Roller Guidesand features like ballscrew core cooling contribute to long-term accuracy and thermal stability.
Faster Material Setup - Mazak horizontal machining centers allow for smoother and faster material setup, often while the machine is still running, minimising downtime and maximising spindle utilisation.
Automation Capabilities - Features like two-pallet changers, robot integration, and Mazak’s PALLETECH systems enable automated loading, unloading, and part handling, leading to increased spindle utilisation and reduced operator intervention. Mazak's PALLETECH system is modular and adaptable, allowing for customisation of pallet numbers, loading stations, and integration with multiple machines.
High Material Removal Rates - The rigid construction and powerful spindles of Mazak horizontal machining centers enable high material removal rates, particularly beneficial for heavy-duty machining and large production runs.
Reduced Cycle Times - Features like fast tool changes (2.8 seconds with some optional tool magazines) and optimised chip evacuation contribute to reduced cycle times and increased throughput.
Wide Material Compatibility - Mazak horizontal machining centers handle a wide range of materials, from aluminium to titanium, with various spindle speed and torque selections.
3-, 4-, and 5-Axis Capabilities - The availability of Mazak horizontal machining centers with different axis configurations allows for machining complex part geometries and shapes.
Adaptable to Various Applications - Mazak offers a wide range of horizontal machining center models, including the Mazk UN series for mass production and other models for diverse applications, ensuring a suitable solution for different production needs.
User-friendly CNC Controls - Mazak's CNC controls are designed for ease of use, simplifying programming and enhancing productivity.
