Mazak provides machine tool automation solutions that can dramatically improve machine utilisation, productivity and profitability.
Mazak’s machine tool automation solutions range from multi-tasking machine capabilities to two-pallet changing, to gantry loaders and full palletised systems.
Mazak's "DONE IN ONE" concept is a foundational automation philosophy that streamlines manufacturing by combining all machining processes - turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and sometimes grinding or gear cutting - into a single setup on one machine. By eliminating the need to transfer parts between multiple machines, it reduces human intervention, minimizes setup times, and lowers the risk of inaccuracies, enabling complete processing from raw material to finished part. Take a look at Mazak's DONE IN ONE multi-tasking machines.
Mazak's two-pallet machines, such as the VCN, HCN, and Variaxis series, enhance productivity by allowing continuous, unmanned machining. They feature a fast, two-pallet automatic changer that enables operators to set up parts on one pallet while the other is machining, reducing idle spindle time.
Mazak Gantry Loaders provide fast loading and unloading for high-volume manufacturing, while also delivering more versatility, flexibility and productivity for chuck and shaft work through various loading stations and robotic hand options. The systems are easy to install and operate, and as such are a quick, turnkey solution for immediate production increases. Take a closer look at the Mazak Gantry Loaders.
Mazak’s Auto Work Changer paired with the Mazak Variaxis 5-axis vertical machining center offers fast product changeovers from its 32 stockers to provide continuous machining and reduced non-cutting time. Ideal for manufacturers requiring increased flexibility to meet the challenges of machining complex components, with a high product mix in small batch sizes. Take a look at the Mazak Variaxis i-300 AWC.
Mazak’s Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) is an automated system that combines 5-axis machining centers or horizontal machining centers with a pallet stocker and a pallet loader. Up to 24 pallets can be applied. This automation system is ideal for small-lot, multi-product production and will dramatically improve productivity. Ideal for manufacturers who require basic automation to increase productivity and have limited floor space. Take a look at Mazak's MPP - compact multiple pallet stocker system.
As a full palletised system, Mazak’s widely popular PALLETECH Automated System brings high levels of flexibility and efficiency to high-mix, low-volume production as well as high-volume operations. Fully compatible with Mazak’s range of horizontal machining centers and multi-tasking machines for large parts, PALLETECH is available in single, double and triple-level pallet stocker configurations. Because of its modular, pre-engineered construction, PALLETECH easily expands along with growing production needs. Take a closer look at the Mazak PALLETECH automation system.
From job shops to high-mix, low-volume operations, Mazak’s automation solutions are designed to elevate production.
