Multitasking turning centre, VMC, control technology to be displayed

Mazak Canada will showcase multitasking, VMC, and control technology with demonstrations on two machines manufactured in the company’s Florence, Ky., facility.

The VTC-300C vertical machining centre with an ATC and the Quick Turn 450M CNC turning centre with multitasking capability both include Mazatrol SmoothG controls to target efficient production in applications such as complex downhole components, pipe control valves, pumps, and wellhead equipment.

With the SmoothG CNC, operators can use either EIA/ISO or Mazatrol conversational programming to process complex parts through off-centreline machining, angled drilling, milling, and tapping.

The VTC-300C has a 40-taper, 15,000-RPM spindle; full travelling-column design; and fixed table for machining long and heavy workpieces. A standard ATC accommodates 24 tools, with a 48-tool option available. This machine delivers a 1,574-IPM rapid traverse rate.

The Quick Turn 450M has a standard 7.28-in. spindle bore capacity for a variety of through-hole turning applications. A standard 50-HP integral turning spindle motor enables the machine to process diverse medium or larger-diameter parts. The machine’s design minimizes vibration during heavy-duty turning, the company reports.
