Mazak to Unveil New Ez Machines and SmoothEz CNC December 8
Mazak will debut its new line of Ez machines and its MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC system at an All Axes LIVE event on December 8.
Mazak plans to unveil its new Ez Series of machines and MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC at its All Axes LIVE virtual event on December 8 at 11 a.m. EST. During this launch event, Mazak will discuss how it developed the new machine family and control to help remove the cost barriers to acquiring the latest manufacturing technology without sacrificing machine capability or production performance.
The event will stream from Mazak’s National Technology Center in Florence, Kentucky. Attendees will see the new series of machines and CNC in action and learn more about Mazak’s financing options and customer support.
Machine configurations within the new series include both horizontal turning and vertical machining center models. Among the turning center configurations are machines featuring milling, milling with Y-axis off-centerline capability and a combination of both paired with a second turning spindle for complete part processing. Available chuck sizes for the machines are 8”, 10” and 12”. The three-axis vertical machine model features a powerful 25-horsepower, 12,000 rpm spindle; a 30-tool magazine; travel of 41.2” in the X axis, 20.1” in Y and 25.0” in Z; and a 49.2” x 19.4” table size.
The new MAZATROL SmoothEz control gives operators a full 15” touchscreen interface. The screen allows for the display of either a fullscreen keyboard or 60 full program lines.
“Made in the USA, these new machines offer an outstanding combination of performance and capability at a significantly lower cost,” says Dan Janka, president of Mazak Corporation. “With the ongoing shortage of skilled labor, the new SmoothEz control with MAZATROL and EIA/ISO programming will have operators up and running faster than ever.”
