Mazak INTEGREX e-800H delivers high power cutting for extra-large workpieces

20.08.2018

Ideal for heavy, extra-large diameter workpieces, Yamazaki Mazak's INTEGREX e-H series of Multi-Tasking machines are capable of completing all operations in a single set-up, including turning, milling, boring and drilling, without having to move the component to a different machine.

180816-P3Leading the range is the INTEGREX e-800H – the largest machine in Mazak's horizontal INTEGREX portfolio. Equipped with a high performance 45kW turning spindle, and 10,000rpm milling head, the e-800H delivers both powerful and agile performance to machine complex workpieces with high accuracy, including full 5-axis simultaneous operations, across a range of difficult to machine materials.

One of the standout features of the machine is its large capacity. It boasts the largest Y-axis stroke in its class (800mm), and with a large swing diameter– the e-800H can handle workpieces up to 1,300mm in diameter, 8 metres in length and 15 tonnes in weight (including work holding). The e-800H also features a 40 tool magazine as standard, with options of up to 120 tools, to satisfy a wide range of applications and complex workpieces.

Thanks to a fully automatic NC tailstock combined with a choice of optional steady rests, the machine is ideally suited to machining long complex shaft workpieces such as large valves, landing gear and crank shafts commonly seen in oil and gas, aerospace and renewable energy sectors.

To enhance process versatility, the e-800H can be equipped with an optional Long Boring Bar stocker (LBB) that houses four 1,500mm length Ø120mm bars. The range of applications can be further extended by an optional rigid tool holder system that supports specialsed tooling such as long reach angled milling holders, long drilling holders and side and face milling holders. The rigid tool holder system utilises a four point clamping system on the milling spindle to maximise rigidity.

From a functionality perspective, the machine also benefits from a number of ergonomic features to support set-up and operator safety, including internal and external steps to aid accessibility; two large glass windows in each door for better visibility; tilting and swivel operation on the CNC control panel and LED lighting.

Finally, as with all Mazak 5-axis machines, the INTEGREX e-800H offer users unrivalled ease and speed of programming thanks to Mazak's revolutionary SmoothX: the fastest CNC in the world. SMOOTH CNC also includes a number of applications to assist users, including Smooth API (Application Programming Interface), which enhances connectivity between the SMOOTH CNC and non-Mazak software, such as supplementary automation systems and measurement software.
