WHAT TO EXPECT:
Mazak will demonstrate how advanced Multi-Tasking machines can effectively perform today’s gear-making processes, including hobbing, forming, surfacing, skiving and gashing. The company will feature its INTEGREX i-100ST equipped with the latest MAZATROL SmoothX CNC, and application experts will be available to discuss ways in which manufacturers can optimize their operations to more efficiently produce precision gears of all shapes and sizes.
TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION:
INTEGREX i-100ST
This small-footprint Multi-Tasking machine employs two turning spindles, a milling spindle and a lower turret. Such features make it possible for gear manufacturers to turn a part’s I.D. and O.D., process its mating features and then power skive its gear tooth pattern. Performing all of these functions on one machine improves overall accuracy because every part feature runs true to the gear teeth. And, when the machine is not busy with gear work, it can continue to earn its keep by productively processing a broad range of complex, non-gear components.
INTEGREX i-100ST
A key element of Mazak’s new SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY process-performance platform, the MAZATROL SmoothX CNC operates four times faster than Mazak’s previous-generation controls. Gear makers, especially, will benefit from faster rotary axis speeds, which allow the machine tool to quickly perform gear hobbing and skiving operations.
