Mazak Announces Dates for DISCOVER 2015 Event



Mazak will introduce its additive-capable INTEGREX i-400AM HYBRID multitasking machine at DISCOVER 2015, Oct. 27-29 and Nov. 3-5 in Florence, KY.

Mazak Corporation will hold its DISCOVER 2015 technology and education event Oct. 27-29 and Nov. 3-5 in Florence, KY. "The company plans to spotlight new technologies and trends that will change how part manufacturers operate, including unconventional ways to drive operational efficiency via additive manufacturing, CNC technology and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) concept," said a company spokesperson. "Additive manufacturing is creating a shift in the way engineers and designers think about product development. Mazak's additive-capable INTEGREX i-400AM HYBRID multitasking machine will make its North American debut at DISCOVER 2015. Attendees will experience how it integrates laser cladding with advanced full 5-axis milling and turning capabilities."

Mazak recently started outfitting its multitasking machines with the new MAZATROL SmoothX CNC. "The CNC will be featured on several of the machine tools at the event, so attendees can see how it significantly shortens machining cycle times, especially in fine increment programs for simultaneous 5-axis operations and free-form die-mold machining," said the spokesperson.

With reshoring on the rise, domestic manufacturers must find new ways to deliver products faster and of higher quality than ever before to remain globally competitive, according to the company. Such pressures have given rise to IIoT where "smart" components (data storage, controls and software), automation and advanced connectivity between machines and external data sources are designed to work hand-in-hand to significantly improve manufacturing productivity and reduce operating costs.

"Mazak, an early adopter of IIoT, will give tours of its revamped North American Manufacturing Plant that incorporates what the company refers to as the iSMART Factory concept," said the spokesperson. "The iSMART concept involves the use of advanced manufacturing cells and systems together with full digital integration to achieve free-flow data sharing in terms of process control and operation monitoring. The MTConnect open communications protocol works with process support software and provides connectivity and the capability to monitor then harvest data from all the different production floor machines, cells, devices and processes.

"In addition to getting a firsthand look at IIoT - which is expected to be a significant driver of manufacturing productivity and growth over the next decade - attendees will leave the event with a greater understanding of how shared intelligence and access to real-time information can optimize their processes."

More than 30 of the latest Mazak machine tools will perform real-world cutting demonstrations throughout the event. Applications experts will be on standby during the demonstrations to discuss total manufacturing solutions as well as part-processing improvements with attendees. "The company will also offer a series of seminars that will teach attendees the latest metalworking tools, trends and techniques for improved productivity and profitability," said the spokesperson.
