Mazak's (Florence, KY) multi-tasking Integrex e-670H II offers highly productive machining of large, complex shaft workpieces. The machine offers simultaneous 5-axis machining, allowing parts with tapered holes, blisks and spiral bevel gears to be machined in one setup.
The e-670H II includes a powerful 1,000 rpm, 60 hp spindle for turning and C-axis control. It also has a powerful 50 hp, 10,000 rpm integral motor milling spindle that rotates 240 deg in the B-axis. To support full multi-tasking processes, the Integrex e-670 II comes standard with a 40-tool magazine for storage and retrieval of turning, milling, drilling, and tapping tools. Options can increase the storage capacity to 80 tools. The e-670H II offers a maximum machining diameter of 42.13 in and a spindle bore of 10.2 in.
The MX Hybrid Roller Guide System is integrated into the VCS 430A to deliver levels of durability and reliability that result in long-term accuracy. The MX Hybrid Roller Guide System increases vibration dampening to extend tool life, handles higher load capacities, accelerates and decelerates quicker to shorten cycle times, consumes less oil for "Greener" operations, and lasts longer with less required maintenance.
Hardware advances in the Mazak MATRIX CNC control include powerful internal computing speed to support 16 million pulse encoders on each linear axis for sub-micron resolution and new servo control technology that minimizes vibration. Powering these advances is a 64-bit, twin-engine CPU that reduces cycle times for machining complex surfaces up to half versus our previous CNC control.
New software capabilities make the Mazak MATRIX easier and safer to program and operate. A unique Voice Advisor verbally informs operators of safety alarms and switch settings in manual operation. Enhanced Visual Machining creates crisp 3D simulations to aid the operator in identifying and correcting any interference conditions and running part program cycle simulations while the machine is operating.
Mazak has also developed intelligent software functionality, pushing the envelope further for reliable and precise machine performance. Active Vibration Control uses extensive look-ahead technology from the Mazak MATRIX control to optimize the servo acceleration and deceleration values in anticipation of rapid changes in direction. This intelligent function delivers smoother finishes, better accuracy, and longer tool life.
