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.
The Mazatrol Matrix control system adds to deliver a cost-effective simultaneous 5-axis capability.
The VCN 510C-II 5X has been designed for maximum versatility, as the trunnion table can be quickly, and easily, removed.
This allows the full 3-axis machining envelope of the machine to be used.
The trunnion table has a diameter of 205mm and sits within the existing 1050mm (X) and 510mm (Y and Z) axis travels.
Yamazaki, in a report to manufacturingtalk.com, said it kept the existing VCN 510C-II machining envelope based on research into this market sector.
The research showed that the envelope dimension offered enough capacity for most components likely to be machined on such a machine tool.
Other features retained from the standard VCN 510C-II are as follows.
* The 12,000 rev/min, 18.5kW (25HP) 40 taper spindle.
* 30 position toolchanger (60 position option).
* 1.3s chip-to-chip toolchange.
* 36m/min maximum feedrates in all axes.
The Nexus range has been designed to provide a combination of technology and productivity, and provides a level of performance not normally attributed to machines in this class, said Yamazaki.
The Vertical Centre Nexus range in particular provides improved machining stability, safer operation, and enhanced ease of operation by utilising Yamazaki Mazak's 6th generation CNC system, Mazatrol Matrix.
Ease of use is enhanced by the use of QWERTY keyboard, large CNC display screen, and the choice of using Mazatrol conversational or EIA/ISO programming methods.
The machine tool, components and operator also benefit from the integration of Mazak's Intelligent machine functions such as Intelligent Safety Shield, Virtual Machining, Mazak Voice Advisor, Intelligent Thermal Shield and Active Vibration Control. Request a free brochure from Yamazaki Mazak UK ...
