TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

Throughout DISCOVER 2013, Mazak showcased live cutting demonstrations on more than 30 machines inside its newly expanded National Technology Center, including a five-machine cell developed specifically for a customer. Mazak organized the machines by industry segment so that attendees could easily identify with their market segments. The company also showcased how it has added even more process capabilities to its machines and made automation more integral to their functionality.

All of the machines inside the National Technology Center were new in some way. While several models were brand new designs, including the VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL 300, 400 and 500 Vertical Machining Centers, others featured new productivity-enhancing options, such as the QUICK TURN NEXUS 250-II MSY-D with double-turret technology and INTEGREX i-100 BARTAC-S with an Intelligent Bar Loader System.
