The QT-Ez 12MY Multi-Tasking Turning Centre

Mazak featured its Ez Series at the Western Manufacturing Technology Show in Edmonton.

On display were the QT-Ez 12MY Multi-Tasking Turning Centre and VC-Ez 20 Vertical Machining Centre. The QT-Ez 12MY features milling and Y-axis off-centerline capability for multi-tasking parts processing. For improved productivity and unmanned operations, the machine integrates with a range of automation solutions, including simple bar feeders and parts catchers as well as full cooperative robot installations such as Mazak Automation Systems’ Cobot Cell System.

While the machine comes standard with a 12” chuck, Mazak offers a smaller 10” option. Available bed lengths are 20” and 40”, and machine turrets include two axis drum style with a bolt-on or BMT55 turret for rotary tool applications. Tailstocks are offered with either manual positioning via hydraulic quill or servo positioning capability.

All QT-Ez models feature powerful integral motor headstocks, Hybrid MX roller guideways and pre-tensioned ball screws supported at both ends for reliable, thermally stable and precise machine axis movement. An innovative bed casting design provides rigidity as well as streamlined chip flow that helps eliminate chip accumulation.

The VC-Ez 20 Vertical Machining Centre

Also automation-ready, the configurable Mazak VT-Ez 20’s 40-taper spindle and low-footprint design offer economy with a full range of spindle, auto tool changer and chip/coolant management options.

Enhanced operator ergonomics and a large work area ease the loading and unloading of workpieces and tools, while the fast 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) traverse rate in the X, Y and Z axes enables higher throughput. A 25 hp (18.64 kW) 12,000 rpm (standard) or versatile 29.5 hp (22 kW) 15,000 rpm (optional) spindle offers 81.13 ft-lb (110 Nm) of torque.

All VC-Ez Series machines sport C-frame designs with X and Y axis motion via moving the table and saddle. For rigidity and repeatable part precision, guideway systems use Mazak’s MX linear roller guide systems, and dual lagged pre-tensioned ball screws ensure precise axis movement. Auger-type chip removal systems provide an economical solution; for increased chip volume the hinge-type chip conveyor ships affixed to the machine to eliminate the cost of a second shipping pallet.
