Mazak will host its annual Discover More With Mazak Event at its Midwest Technology Center in Schaumburg, IL, May 1-3.
This interactive learning event will give attendees an opportunity to explore the latest manufacturing technologies and techniques designed to elevate a shop's level of productivity.
Event attendees will experience the capabilities of 19 of Mazak's advanced milling, turning, 5-axis and multitasking machines, including one of its latest, the VC-500A/5X vertical machining center (VMC), as application engineers perform a variety of real-life part cutting demonstrations.
With a trunnion-style rotary/tilt table and new 60-tool capacity
magazine, the VC-500A/5X allows for the accurate, cost-effective processing of small complex parts via full 5-axis machining while reducing valuable set-up time.
At the event, several machines, including the QUICK TURN 250 and the QT-PRIMOS 100 turning centers, will be paired with automation systems to demonstrate how easy it is to gain versatility, flexibility and productivity with the right automation solution. The QUICK TURN 250 will feature a prepackaged robotic loading system that maximizes profit potential by enabling unmanned operation, while the high-speed, high-accuracy and high-torque QT-PRIMOS 100 will have a gantry loader that speeds loading and unloading.
At the event, Mazak and its value inspired partners (VIPs) will present the latest information on some of the industry's latest trends, including emerging technologies that are changing the manufacturing landscape. Attendees will see the advantages of SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY, a process-performance platform that incorporates Mazak's line of MAZATROL SmoothX, SmoothG and SmoothC controls as well as automation and plant-wide connectivity. DP Technology ESPRIT, LNS America, MEMEX and Sandvik Coromant will also conduct multiple presentations at the event on complementary technologies for Mazak machines to create more innovative products and turn-key processes.
"Attendees will discover how easy it is to securely enter the world of IIoT with the Mazak SmartBox," said a Mazak spokesperson. This scalable, end-to-end solution connects manufacturing equipment, including machines, software and other devices, to a factory's network and allows the free flow of information to management systems via MTConnect.
