Mazak INTEGREX i-450H ST Brings Part Processing Versatility to DISCOVER 2021

FLORENCE, Ky., November 1, 2021 – The INTEGREX i-450H ST Multi-Tasking Center showed its part processing agility at Mazak’s DISCOVER 2021 event. To combine the power of a full CNC turning center with the versatility of a full function machining center, the INTEGREX i-450H ST features a second turning spindle (S) for DONE IN ONE® machining, a milling spindle and a lower turret (T) with optional rotary tool capabilities. The machine configuration boosts productivity by minimizing fixturing, part handling and non-cut time.

The main spindle has a 12" (304 mm) chuck and maximum speed of 3,300 rpm from a 35 hp (26 kW) spindle motor.  Maximum machining diameter is 26.380" (670 mm), and the main spindle’s 4.4" (112 mm) diameter bore accommodates bar stock up to 4" (101 mm) in diameter.  The second turning spindle, equipped with a 10" (250 mm) chuck, provides 35 hp (26 kW) and 4,000 rpm cutting and further expands processing flexibility as does the milling spindle that provides B-axis travel of 240° and cutting speeds up to 12,000 rpm. An automatic tool changer supplies the milling spindle from a 38, 74, or 112-tool magazine.

The machine’s parallel-type 12-tool lower turret optionally offers 10,000 rpm and 7.5 hp (56 kW) for use with rotary tools. This enables manufacturers to employ balance cutting with the milling spindle and lower turret, or carry out simultaneous machining with two tools. The turret accommodates 1" (25 mm) turning tools or 1.5" (40 mm)-diameter boring bars.

For fast part changevers, the INTEGREX i-450H ST features an auto chuck changer. It automatically changes out jaws from 10-jaw stockers located on each spindle via program commands.

The machine enclosure, tool magazine and auto jaw changer are designed to accommodate a comprehensive range of automation technologies, including gantry loaders, bar feeders and articulating robots. Via the capabilities of the machine’s MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC, the INTEGREX i-450H ST can carry out standard specialized operations such as crank shaft inclined drilling and gear skiving.
