Mazak’s new Customer Solutions Center

With the opening Mazak’s Customer Solutions Center, the secure facility that specializes in development of production-ready, custom automation solutions will help manufacturers overcome existing labor issues while increasing production output.

“The new center allows us to streamline automation development and project management,” says Dan Janka, president of Mazak Corp. “This eliminates bottlenecks in design and timing during the construction of those custom solutions while keeping the experience all about the customer and their production needs.”

The new customer-focused center is well equipped and provides a space for Mazak to set up custom automation cells as well as perform turnkey run-offs. Most importantly, the facility provides a secure location for customers who require their parts and/or processes remain proprietary, such as those controlled by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Mazak engineers will also use the facility as a private location to perform research studies for the development of new processes, options, and machinery.

Mazak’s full portfolio of automation solutions ensures process consistency, improves quality, helps lower overall costs, and reduces the risk of scrap. Automation ranges from simple barfeeders and overhead gantry systems to two-pallet changers, pallet pulls, load/unload robots, and full palletized systems. Palletized systems can also include in-process measurement and surface scanning probes for part inspection and traceability.
