MAZAK is expanding the NEO Series multi-tasking machines, introducing the Integrex j-200 NEO and j-200S NEO. The horizontal machines feature single and twin-turning spindle versions with milling spindles that help to shorten cycle times significantly and provide single-setup part processing. As part of the NEO Series, the machines combine advanced technology and outstanding value with high-performance productivity.
Integrex j-200 NEO and j-200S NEO advanced technology includes enhancements like higher-torque integral spindles, for maximum material removal; specifications for faster spindle rpm; positioning accuracy and higher torque ratings, along with expanded tool magazine capacities and longer tool lengths.
Added heat displacement-compensation equipment provides stable machining accuracy, increased operating efficiency, and reduced power consumption.
High-performance specifications for the new Integrex j-Series NEOs offer shops increased spindle torque ratings of 20 Hp/240 ft-lbs. (15 kW/326 Nm) for main spindles, 20 Hp/123 ft-lbs. (15 kW/167 Nm) for second spindles, and 25 Hp/42 ft-lbs. (18.5 kW/57.3 Nm) for B-axis milling spindles that provide 0.0001-degree indexing positioning.
Tool magazines now accommodate up to 72-tools and allow for maximum tool lengths up to 9.8in (250 mm).
For heat compensation, Mazak’s Ai Thermal Shield on the new machines suppresses changes in the cutting-edge position based on spindle speed and temperature of the machine. This function stabilizes continuous machining accuracy thanks to thorough machine control, considering temperature changes, machine position, coolant ON/OFF and other factors.
New Ai algorithm calculations improve the accuracy of compensation, and with accumulated and learned data from subsequent measurements, thermal displacement compensation is optimized for each machining environment for stable machining accuracy.
Paired with the Integrex j-Series NEO machines, Mazak’s Smooth Coolant System increases process energy and workers’ efficiency. The system reduces coolant cleaning frequency so less maintenance is required, while integrated inverter controls for multiple coolant system pumps optimize operational efficiency. This results in power consumption reductions up to 20% and less CO2 emissions.
Along with the coolant system, high-capacity coolant tanks enable continuous operation for long periods of time as with fully automated machine operation.
Mazak’s Mazatrol SmoothG controls maximize machining speed and accuracy, with both G-code and conversational programming platforms. The control ensures ease of operation with a 19-inch touch screen and 3D model-based graphical user interface for intuitive operation, comparable to smartphones and tablets.
For seamless automation to help shops overcome skilled labor shortages while keeping pace with increasing production demands, Mazak offers the Ez Loader redistributable automation system, which incorporates a stand-alone, plug-and-play automation system that uses multiple pallets, an easy to use programmable pendent, compact floor space, and all necessary equipment for a flexible hassle-free machine integration and lights-out production.
