Mazak Multi-Tasking Machine

Integrex i-630V productively processes large, extremely complex parts.


Mazak debuts its Integrex i-630V that performs heavy-duty 5-axis cutting via high-torque turning and milling spindles. This multi-tasking machine was integrated with Mazak’s pre-engineered Palletech manufacturing system to demonstrate complete done-in-one unattended part production. 

For fast, complete production of large, heavy workpieces typically requiring long set up times, the Integrex i-630V operated in a fully automated manufacturing system at IMTS to showcase the company’s multi-tasking automation technology. The system incorporated the Integrex i-630V and a Mazak Orbitec 20 large-part machining center linked together with the Palletech Manufacturing System. Both machines use a common pallet size, allowing parts to undergo various turning operations on the Orbitec 20 then transfer to the Integrex i-630V for completion without ever having to re-fixture them. Such automated manufacturing systems also provide flexibility required for shorter product life cycles, reduce in-process inventory, and allow for just-in-time production.

With the Integrex i-630V, shops can select either square or round pallet shapes for the machine’s standard two-pallet changer to handle workpieces up to 41.3" (1,050mm) in diameter and 39.3" (1,000mm) high. Square pallets measure 24.8" x 24.8" (630mm x 630mm), while round pallets are 31.5" (800mm) in diameter. The pallet changer moves pallets in and onto the machine’s NC direct-drive motor table within 11 seconds.
The Integrex i-630V provides B-axis and C-axis capabilities for turning and milling. And for meeting all different material requirements, Mazak offers three versions of milling spindles for the machine—a standard 50-taper 10,000rpm, a high-torque version with 5,000rpm and 387ft/lbs of torque, and a 15,000rpm high-speed version.

The rigid milling spindles are mounted in the machine’s compact B-axis head that swings from -30 to +120 degrees in minimum increments of 0.0001° and is roller gear cam driven. A standard 43-tool automatic tool changer supplies milling spindles with tooling, and optional 80-, 120-, and 160-tool capacity versions are available.
