The Mazak Integrex j-200S NEO is a high performance horizontal multi-tasking machine with high productivity and environmental performance.
Ideally suited to high mix / low volume manufacturing, Mazak’s new Integrex j-200 NEO offers a productivity upgrade for turreted lathe users looking to move beyond turning to integrated milling, drilling, and multi-faced machining operations.
The Mazak Integrex j-200S NEO is equipped with an enhanced milling spindle to shorten cycle times and deliver higher productivity. Enhanced heat displacement compensation ensures stable and high machining accuracy. The “Energy Saver” function in the CNC system allows for visualisation of energy consumption and regenerative power, and energy-efficient control of the machine.
The milling spindle unit can be indexed in 1 degree increments, allowing outer diameter, end face, and diagonal machining with a single tool. Similarly, the second spindle performs various machining with a single tool, reducing cycle times. The high-performance specification with 0.0001° indexing offers enhanced versatility for a variety of workpieces.
The high-power, high-torque built-in motor spindle provides excellent machining capabilities. The main turning spindle, fitted with an 8” chuck, features a powerful 18.5 kW, 326 Nm built-in motor, with an integrated cooling circuit in the headstock, to deliver high material removal rates whilst achieving stable machining accuracy. With a 65mm bar capacity and a 480mm maximum swing, the machine can be easily configured for both automated bar work and robot-fed components.
The Mazak Integrex j-200S NEO features the next generation of Mazatrol Smooth CNC technology, the Mazatrol SmoothAi control and associated software packages, which deliver powerful digital enhancements that add efficiency and value throughout the machining process with the power of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and advanced data management technology.
The machine benefits from a 36-tool magazine – with an option of increasing to 72 tools – which significantly reduces setups while offering three times the tool capacity of a turreted lathe, in addition to significantly lower tooling costs compared to driven-tool holders.
Many subcontractors are seeing their batch sizes come down while their mix of components is increasing. This presents a very different challenge to high volume work and needs a different machining strategy to stay competitive. Helping subcontractors meet the demands of a high mix / low volume production schedule was one of the key drivers for the development of the Integrex j-200 NEO.
