Customer event will serve as debut for new advanced machine tools
Florence, Kentucky, June 10, 2009
–
Mazak has announced that it will host "Your Manufacturing Future? Refocus,
Rediscover and Reinvent" (R3), a three-day event designed to help customers not
only evaluate their positions in the marketplace but also formulate plans to
gain the competitive edge as the economy rebounds. R3 will be held from
September 15 – 17 at Mazak's National Technology Center in Florence, Kentucky,
and feature a number of machine tools far exceeding the total exhibited in the
Mazak booth at IMTS 2008.
"When the economy turns around, the shops that thrive will not be those that
simply survived but the ones that planned and invested with an eye on the
future," said Brian Papke, President, Mazak Corporation. "At Mazak, we lead by
example, and with R3, we can help each customer refocus, rediscover and reinvent
their operations by providing exposure to the newest technology, support and
training in advanced manufacturing."
R3 will serve as the debut for more than a dozen machine tools boasting advanced
technologies never before seen in today's marketplace. Over the next three
months, Mazak will periodically unveil new information about the models on
MazakUSA.com, providing customers with a glimpse of what can be accomplished in
the ever-changing economic landscape.
Customers will have the opportunity to experience Mazak Progressive Learning
first hand at the Mazak Learning Center.
The tiered learning program offers training for customers of all skill levels,
ranging from self-paced workforce development programs to hands-on application
and development courses at the Center for Multi-Tasking and Manufacturing
Excellence in Florence, Kentucky.
Additionally,
customers will also have the opportunity to tour
Mazak's manufacturing plant, which is currently undergoing continued expansion
including the installation of four new Versatech V-100N bridge-type 5-axis
machines, which will replace six Versatech V-100 FMS machines.
The improved workflow and higher levels of efficiency created by the $9 million
investment will enable Mazak to continue meeting the demand for world-class
machining centers, turning centers and multi-tasking machines.
