Series Offers Smaller Footprint, Ease of Automation



Mazak's INTEGREX i-200H ST Multi-Tasking Machine, part of the new INTEGREX i-H Series lineup, features a new design that increases flexibility and enhances machine performance for easier automation integration, allowing shops to boost the output of their existing workforces.

"Mazak designed its new INTEGREX i-H Series machines with the flexibility necessary to process a practically endless variety of part types without additional capital expenses," said a company spokesperson. "The new machines allow shops to add a variety of automation options-some of which are retrofittable in the field-as production levels dictate long after the initial purchase of the machine, ensuring easy access to continuous improvement."

The i-H Series machines feature ergonomic enclosures with compact footprints. Mazak equipped the machines with faster and more powerful turning spindles, space-saving milling spindles and a new parallel-type lower turret with optional live tooling capabilities. The company also expanded tool capacities for lower turrets and tool storage magazines along with offering a wider range of chuck size options.

INTEGREX i-200H ST machine changes that ease the integration of automation are the inclusion of front and rear tool set-up; a flat-front design to accommodate robots; tool magazine placement at the machine's rear side; an easily retrofittable automatic machine door; integrated automatic jaw changer (AJC); and parallel-type lower turrets.

Requiring no additional robot system and without interrupting machine operation, the AJC quickly exchanges jaws from turning spindle chucks with others in jaw stocker systems located above both of the machine's turning spindles. These stocker systems have room for up to 10 jaw sets that can be loaded/unloaded while the machine continues to work uninterrupted.

Along with a parallel-type turret (T), the INTEGREX i-200H ST features both a main and second turning spindle (S) and a milling spindle headstock for DONE IN ONE part production. The new turret design not only works with a greater range of tool lengths, but also eliminates interference when workpieces are held between the machine's two turning spindles and reduces chip accumulation on the machine's X-axis covers.

The INTEGREX i-200H ST accommodates a chuck size of 8" and offers an extended Y-axis stroke of 8.27" and X-axis stroke of 21.06" for maximum part diameters of 23.62". The main and second turning spindles operate at 5,000 RPM, while the milling spindle comes standard as 12,000 RPM (24/22 kW), with a 20,000 RPM (24/22 kW) version offered as an option.

The INTEGREX i-200H ST uses the latest Mazak control technology, the MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC. For fully optimized machining operations, the AI-powered technologies within the new MAZATROL SmoothAi control make for fast and easy programming, controlled spindle speed for reduced vibration and greater machine thermal stability.

These Mazak technologies include: Solid MAZATROL, which allows users to automatically generate programs from 3D part models; SMOOTH Ai Spindle, which automatically optimizes spindle speed based on sensor feedback to minimize machining vibration for enhanced part surface finishes; and Ai Thermal Shield, which adapts to and learns from environmental changes to control the effects of heat on machining accuracy.

In addition to new SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY solutions and control functions, the new control also provides access to Mazak's MAZATROL TWINS software, which allows operators to create, on a PC, synchronized digital twins of real machines on their shop floors. The digital twin software solution provides efficient machine operation through SMOOTH Project Manager that provides efficient job set-ups and SMOOTH CAM Ai for an open and interactive interface for CAD/CAM software packages.
