Yamazaki Mazak, the world's leading manufacturer of machine tools, will be highlighting its ability to provide a wide cross section of manufacturing companies with the technology to improve their productivity. On the Mazak stand at Manufacturing Technology Ireland 2006 (November 8-9,2006, National Show Centre, Dublin) will be an Integrex 100 ST multi-function machine tool capable of one hit machining. This will be demonstrated alongside a vertical centre Nexus machining centre.

The Integrex 100 ST is ideally suited to deliver Mazak's 'Done in One' machining concept with components machined complete in a single operation.

It is fitted with powerful twin 6000 rev/min spindles that operate in combination with an upper rotary tool, B-axis, spindle (5.5kW) - equipped with automatic toolchange - and a lower, nine-station drum turret to dramatically reduce cycle times.

Mazak's 'Done in One' philosophy can benefit machine tool users across a wide spectrum of industries and company sizes, bringing greater productivity and increased versatility to the manufacturing environment.

Alongside the multi-function capabilities of the Integrex range is the entry-level Nexus range, which comprises machining and turning centres.

The Nexus range provides a cost-effective route to machining a wide range of components in a variety of materials.

Representing the range at Manufacturing Technology Ireland is the VCN510C, a vertical machining centre featuring an 18.5kW, 12 000 rev/min spindle motor for general purpose prismatic machining.

'Yamazaki Mazak has always been at the forefront of multi-function machine development and the concept of Done in One was originated by us.

We are, therefore, extremely pleased that this concept is now being adopted as a viable option by many small- to medium-sized companies.

Our range of machines offers a cost-effective solution to the machining of virtually any component,' said Tony Saunders, Yamazaki Mazak UK's sales director.
