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.
For carrying out heavy metal removal and fine finishing operations, the VMC has an 8000 rev/min, 30kW (40HP) integral spindle/motor delivering a torque of 302Nm.
A spindle head cooling system and ballscrew core cooling is standard on all axes.
