ECONOMICAL MULTI-TASKING MAKES MACHINE SHOPS MORE COMPETITIVE

The Integrex j-400 represents Mazak's (Florence, KY) commitment to providing a full range of multi-tasking solutions. The Integrex j-Series contains multiple models and falls in the middle of the spectrum of Mazak's multi-tasking innovations.

The Integrex j-400 performs 4-axis simultaneous machining with 5-axis tool-tip positioning, providing significant advantages in productivity, accuracy and flexibility. Unlike multi-tasking machines with a drum turret type, the Integrex j-400 accommodates 20 tools in a tool magazine (36- and 72-tool optional) and increases versatility in part production. The machine's main turning spindle offers a maximum speed of 3,300 rpm.

The Integrex j-400 also includes a 30 hp, 12,000 rpm milling spindle that can be indexed in 5 deg (or optional 1 deg) increments from minus 30 deg to 210 deg (B-axis control), making it possible to perform outer diameter machining, as well as turning, facing, grooving and threading with the same flash tool. It also makes it easily possible to perform incline machining and all other conventional machining processes. Additionally, the milling spindle can be radially indexed and clamped, enabling the same tool to be used for turning in both forward and reverse directions.

Though the Integrex j-400 is compact, it offers a maximum machining diameter and length of 19.7 in with minimum tool interference for large workpieces. Its long axis strokes allow face milling, end milling and drilling to be performed above and below the centerline without C-axis indexing. In addition, the true Y-axis design allows for a larger machine envelope and tool reach, reduced interference and excellent chip evacuation when compared to conventional machines. With a high rigidity construction and new high-response servo motors, the Integrex j-400 delivers a positioning repeatability of tool tips that is better than 0.00004 in, and double ball bar testing that is within 0.0003 in.

The MX Hybrid Roller Guide System is integrated into the Integrex j-400 to deliver levels of durability and reliability that result in long-term accuracy. The MX Hybrid Roller Guide System increases vibration dampening to extend tool life, handles higher load capacities, accelerates and decelerates quicker to shorten cycle times, consumes less oil for "Greener" operations, and lasts longer with less required maintenance.

Mazak makes the programming of multiple surfaces on the Integrex j-Series easy with its Matrix Nexus CNC Control. The control allows for both conversational and EIA/ISO programming, and ensures easy programming for C-axis, Y-axis and angle machining. Matrix also provides realistic 3D machining simulations, time study analysis and the Mazak Voice Advisor, which assists operators during setup to make initial operations smoother and safer.
