Discover the new Mazak Integrex i-NEO series of multi-tasking machines.
Mazak Integrex i-NEO series – even more of a good thing
Mazak never rest on their laurels and constantly strive to make the best even better. Through continuous improvement and redesign, Mazak have built a rock-solid reputation for engineering machines that provide customers with unmatched levels of performance, quality and reliability.
As a result of Mazak’s continuous improvement efforts, the company has developed the NEO Series that takes their well-known existing machine models to the next level in terms of increased speed, precision, efficiency, versatility and productivity. The NEO name is fitting because it means “new,” and for Mazak it stands for “Next, Excellent and Optimal.” As such, the machines feature numerous upgrades and design changes involving spindle speeds and motors, tool change times, control technology and automation, among other aspects.
The Integrex Series is the flagship of Mazak’s multi-tasking machine technology, and the new Integrex i-NEO models combine even more advanced technology and outstanding value with high-performance productivity.
Mazak raises the bar in multi-tasking with the new Integrex i-NEO series
Mazak has once again pushed the boundaries of multi-tasking machine technology with the launch of its Integrex i-Neo series, the next-generation machining solution that blends turning, milling, and grinding capabilities into a single, highly versatile platform. Building on Mazak’s long-standing “Done-in-One” manufacturing philosophy, the new models are designed to enhance precision, reduce part handling, and improve overall machining efficiency, particularly for complex components that traditionally require multiple machines and setups.
A key advancement with the new Integrex i-NEO machines is the addition of grinding capability, marking the first time grinding has been integrated into this class of Mazak multi-tasking machines. By enabling grinding alongside high-performance turning and milling, manufacturers can achieve tighter tolerances and superior surface finishes without transferring parts between machines. This consolidation not only improves accuracy but also shortens lead times and reduces cumulative error associated with multiple setups.
The Mazak Integrex i-NEO series is engineered with increased thermal stability, an essential factor in maintaining dimensional accuracy during long machining cycles and lights-out production. The machines incorporate a robust mechanical design combined with advanced control technologies to ensure consistent performance, even under demanding operating conditions. These attributes make the machines suitable for industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy, where precision and repeatability are critical.
Automation flexibility is another core feature of the Mazak Integrex i-NEO platform. The machines support a wide range of automation solutions, including overhead gantry loaders, unloaders, and bar feed systems. A standard front-mounted ergonomic tool magazine allows seamless integration with automation while maintaining easy operator access. For machine shops with different layout requirements, Mazak also offers rear-mounted tool magazine configurations and optional retrofittable automatic front doors and robot interfaces, enabling straightforward integration with floor-mounted robotic systems.
The Integrex i-NEO machines are powered by Mazak’s latest Mazatrol SmoothAi CNC control, which incorporates artificial intelligence to simplify programming and optimize machining performance. AI-driven functions such as Solid Mazatrol allow automatic program generation directly from 3D CAD models, reducing programming time and potential errors. Smooth Ai Spindle technology dynamically adjusts spindle speed based on sensor feedback to minimize vibration and improve surface finish, while Ai Thermal Shield learns from environmental conditions to compensate for thermal effects and maintain machining accuracy.
In addition, the control provides access to Mazak’s Mazatrol Twins digital twin software, enabling manufacturers to create synchronized virtual replicas of their machines. These digital tools support efficient job planning, setup optimization, and CAM integration, helping shops maximize machine utilization and productivity.
With the Integrex i-NEO series, Mazak delivers a powerful multitasking solution that combines precision machining, grinding capability, automation readiness, and AI-driven control. The result is a single-machine platform that enhances process stability, reduces production complexity, and supports the evolving needs of high-mix, high-precision manufacturing environments.
