Multi-Tasking machine features faster, higher torque milling and turning spindles
FLORENCE, Ky., October 18, 2016 – Mazak has enhanced both the milling and turning spindles on its heavy-duty 5-axis INTEGREX i-630V/6 Multi-Tasking Machine. With even faster, higher torque spindles, the machine processes large, highly complex parts in the shortest cycle times possible. When paired with the new TOOLTECH tool system, the machine provides efficient tool storage as well as easy loading and unloading of large size, heavy tools.
A new spindle cartridge design gives the INTEGREX i-630V/6 higher horsepower and increased speed as well as ease of maintenance. The rigid CAT 50, 10,000-rpm milling spindle tilts in the B-axis -30/+120 degrees for complex contour machining.
The machine’s turning spindle/C-axis features a direct-drive motor and a new bearing design along with glass scales. All of which further boosts rigidity, stiffness and accuracy. The robust turning spindle with C-axis control delivers 50 hp and 550 rpm.
Mazak’s new TOOLTECH compact tool magazine stores heavy and large-diameter tools – diameters up to 14.173” (360 mm), lengths to 31.5” (800 mm) and weighing as much as 88.184 lb (40 kg) – within a very small amount of required floor space. Plus, special tool carts and docking stations eliminate the need for operators to manually lift tools in and out of the system, so tooling set ups are faster, easier and safer.
TOOLTECH accommodates up to 206 tools in the same amount of space required for a 120-tool chain-type magazine storage system. This economical use of space results from the fact that TOOLTECH efficiently organizes tools according to their lengths and diameters and stores them in racks – one type designated for tools with diameters bigger than 3.93” (100 mm), and the other for diameters less than that size.
Mazak’s MAZATROL SmoothX CNC gives the INTEGREX i-630V/6 unparalleled processing speed and lets shops quickly and easily generate programs for highly complex parts production. The CNC has several advanced functions that allow it to ensure the shortest possible machining cycle times, especially in fine increment programs for simultaneous 5-axis operations and free-form die-mold machining.
Among the CNC’s functions are Super High-Speed Mode for maximum interpolation capabilities, rotary axis speeds for fast gear skiving operations and rotary axis threading, Smooth Corner Control for shorter cycle times and Real Time Tuning for optimal machining balance.
Axis travels on the INTEGREX i-630V/6 measure 56.10" (1,425 mm) in X and 41.3" (1,049 mm) in both Y and Z, with each having a rapid traverse rate of 2,047 ipm. The axes incorporate the Mazak MX Hybrid Roller Guide System that increases vibration damping, handles high load capacities and eliminates tramp oil in the coolant by utilizing a greener grease-based lubrication system.
Able to accommodate workpieces up to 41.3" (1,049 mm) in diameter and 39.3" (998 mm) high, the machine comes with a two-pallet changer that accepts square 24.8" (630 mm) x 24.8" (630 mm) pallets or round 31.5" (800 mm)-diameter pallets. The pallet changer moves pallets in and onto the machine’s table within 11 seconds.
