MAZATROL SmoothX to be demonstrated on 5-axis and multi-tasking machines.
Mazak’s MAZATROL SmoothX is designed to ensure the shortest possible machining cycle times, especially in fine increment programs for simultaneous 5-axis operations and free-form die-mold machining.
The new control incorporates a wide variety of advanced programming functions, including:
- Super High-Speed Mode helps provide maximum interpolation capabilities
- High Gain Feed Forward Control boosts machining speed and accuracy
- Fast Rotary Axis Speeds optimize gear skiving and rotary axis threading
- Variable Acceleration Control calculates optimal acceleration for a combination of axes
- Intelligent Pocket Milling engages a high-efficiency toolpath when milling part cavities
- Smooth Corner Control makes cutter path adjustments to help shorten cycle times
- Orbit Machining allows a machining center with a C-axis to turn complex features on parts
- Position Controlled Hobbing provides fast, convenient hobbing and skiving operations
- Real Time Tuning ensures optimal machining balance as workpiece weight changes
The control’s 19″ display presents all of the critical machine data within a single page view, while the tilt control panel allows for optimum positioning based on operator height.
A multi-touch screen, similar to that of a smartphone, enables fast and smooth programming operations. In addition, an SD card allows the CNC to store up to 32GB of data.
The SmoothX is compatible with the following Mazak machines:
- INTEGREX i-Series
- INTEGREX e-H Series
- INTEGREX i-V Series
- INTEGREX e-V Series
- VORTEX i-V Series
- VARIAXIS i-Series
- VARIAXIS j-5X Series
- VERSATECH Series
Mazak Canada will be demonstrating the CNC on its INTEGREX i-200 multi-tasking machine and VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL (VCU) 500A 5X machining center at the Montreal Manufacturing Technology Show, May 16-18.
