Mazak’s technology, education event for Midwest shops

Florence, Kentucky – Discover More With Mazak Midwest will feature real-world part cutting demonstrations on machine tools – including Mazak’s HCN-5000/50 horizontal machining center, Quick Turn 250MSY and Quick Turn Primos 100 turning centers – while Mazak staff will conduct seminars and training sessions centered around its Mazatrol Smooth CNC technology. Attendees will experience the power, versatility, and user friendliness of the Mazatrol SmoothX, SmoothG and SmoothC controls that each provide both conversational and EIA/ISO programming capabilities.

Mazak’s line of Mazatrol Smooth CNCs are part of the company’s Smooth Technology, a process-performance platform that spans the entire part production landscape. Smooth Technology also factors in automation and plant-wide connectivity as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to transform the manufacturing industry through big data.

The platform supports the MTConnect open communications protocol and includes an NC Data Library for connecting machines to an Ethernet system. Machines with Smooth Technology and an MTConnect adapter make it easy for shops to collect data from the Mazatrol Smooth CNCs.

Furthermore, attendees will discover how easy it is to securely enter the world of IIoT with the Mazak SmartBox. This scalable, end-to-end solution connects manufacturing equipment, including machines, software, and other devices, to a factory’s network and allows the free flow of information to management systems via MTConnect.
