Yamazaki to stage 'EMO Encore' for UK buyers
UK buyers and specifiers of machine tools who were unable to attend the EMO exhibition can view and assess new Mazak machine tools at Yamazaki Machinery, Worcester, January 29-February 1.
This post-EMO event at Mazak's European headquarters in Worcester attracted 730 visitors from the UK and 13 countries across Europe - from France to the Baltic States.
Every visitor was invited to see 17 high-technology CNC machine tools in action in Mazak's Technology Centre and to attend presentations on the sixth-generation Mazatrol Matrix control and the role of Mazak's Cyber Production Centre software.
Tim Bulpit, senior manufacturing engineer with motion and flow control specialist Curtiss Wright, also cited lack of time as the reason for not visiting EMO Hanover.

"As an existing user of Mazak four-axis machining centres I welcome the opportunity provided by EMO Encore to catch up with the new Mazatrol Matrix CNC and, specifically, to learn about the latest generation of turning centres." Several hours later he described his visit, which included a tour of the Worcester factory, as "extremely worthwhile".
Similar sentiments were expressed by Paul Stewart, workshop manager with Rotherham-based AESSEAL, which specialises in the manufacture of mechanical seals and sealing systems.
He indicated a particular interest in Mazak's five-axis machining capability, which was highlighted in the Technology Centre by the new Vortex 1400 Mark II five-axis machining centre.
This 37kW vertical machining centre is ideally suited to the machining of large workpieces, such as aerospace components and mould tools.
Its tilting head houses a 10,000 rev/min spindle and the +/-30 degrees of rotary and tilting movement on the A and B axes makes this machine inherently much more productive than a comparable three-axis machine.
Other machines on show in the Technology Centre included the new Multiplex Triple 8200Y, one of several Mazak multi-tasking machines equipped with the new Mazatrol Matrix control.
The MPT 3 8200Y is Mazak's latest multi-tasking machine and features an additional, lower, turret and a choice of either gantry loading or barfeed.
Also on show was the 37kW Cybertech Turn 4500M heavy duty turning centre that produces a staggering 326kgfm of torque and the latest Mark IV Integrex 100 ST that, as with the larger Integrex machines, is ideally suited to 'Done in One' machining.
Following on from Mazak's largest-ever EMO exhibition display - over 2000m2 of stand space and 26 machines under power - the EMO Encore Show provided visitors to Worcester with another opportunity to enjoy an unrivalled demonstration of state-of-the-art metal cutting technology.
