Multitasking machine creates parts in one setup

Mazak has introduced the MULTIPLEX W-300Y multitasking CNC turning centre with a Mazak factory-supplied gantry loader. A new rack-and-pinion design allows for simultaneous door motion, chuck confirmations, and linear rail motion to reduce overall takt times.

The machine has a two-pallet gantry table.

Designed for single-setup, mid- to high-volume production and continuous operations, this machine incorporates dual spindles and dual turrets with milling tools, as well as Y-axis capability. Both spindles offer identical performance. Full 360-degree clamping units incorporated into the integral spindles further increase C-axis indexing accuracy, the company states.

Both the main and second spindles have 10-in. chucks and deliver 4,000 RPM and 35 HP of machining speed and power. With a combined 24-tool capacity, the left and right turrets have 4,000-RPM rotary tool spindles.

The maximum swing and maximum machining diameter of the machine measure 16.93 in., with a maximum bar capacity of 3.2 in.

The machine has the company’s SmoothG CNC and comes with MTConnect for convenient networking.
