Mazak’s Discover 2019 education and technology event
Discover 2019 takes place at Mazak Corp.’s North American manufacturing headquarters in Florence, Kentucky, Nov. 5-7 and 12-13. Attendees will learn about technologies that increase efficiency and productivity, such as hybrid multi-tasking machines with additive manufacturing (AM), friction stir welding (FSW), hot wire deposition (HWD), and auto gear (AG) packages. Mixed reality (MR) remote service support and a machine spindle health monitoring system will also be on display, highlighting artificial intelligence (AI) within Mazak’s Smooth Technology manufacturing platform.
Thirty machining systems will be either completely new to the industry or making their North American debuts – several of which are Kentucky-produced models. There will also be several learning seminars with Mazak collaborative partners, access to Mazak application experts, a student day for recruitment, and regularly scheduled tours of the Mazak iSMART Factory.
“Mazak customers have come to rely on the Discover events for keeping up with the latest manufacturing advancements,” says Dan Janka, president of Mazak Corp. He adds that the Discover What We Can Do Together theme “coincides with Mazak’s 100 Year Anniversary.”
