(Mazak: Florence, KY) -- Mazak Corp. and Premier Engineering will co-host a “Discover More With Mazak Florida” open house that will focus on the latest manufacturing and automation technology, specifically for aerospace, medical, space exploration, defense/marine defense, and related industrial-component production. Both companies will provide attendees with access to applications experts for consultation during the event, which will take place June 4–5, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Mazak Technical Center in Orlando, Florida.

Mazak and Premier Engineering will demonstrate machines and automation processing in real-world part applications. Demonstrations will involve Mazak’s QT-Ez 10MY Turning Center paired with EzLOADER automation, an HCN-4000 NEO Horizontal Machining Center with optional 60-tool capacity, an Integrex i-150 Multi-Tasking Machine, and a Syncrex 12/8 Swiss-style machine.

The QT-Ez 10MY features a milling spindle and Y-axis off-centerline capability for multitasking part processing. As a model in the Kentucky-built Ez Series, the automation-ready machine provides affordable access to Mazak technology and features the Mazatrol SmoothEz control along with a 10 in. chuck as well as an 8 in. chuck option.

At the event, Mazak will show the QT-Ez 10MY and EzLOADER automation that helps manufacturers overcome shortages in skilled labor and keep up with ever-increasing production demands. The system incorporates a stand-alone, plug-and-play cobot that uses a pallet, a programmable logic controller, and all necessary equipment for hassle-free machine integration.

As one of the industry’s most accurate horizontal machining centers, the new Mazak HCN-4000 NEO with 18,000-rpm, 47-hp spindle and Renishaw RMP600QE Radio Work Measuring System will demonstrate its spacious work envelope, generous pallet size, fast rapid traverse rates, and rigid, reliable spindle—all for maximum productivity with virtually any workpiece material.

In addition to the machine’s standard two-pallet changer, Mazak’s pre-engineered modular designs allow for an optional six-pallet changer as well as the company’s Palletech or multipallet pool (MPP) system and external robot that can be field-installed at a later time for unattended operations. Larger, space-saving tool magazine options are available at the time of machine order, including 80-, 120-, or 160-tool magazines, or a Tool Hive with 240 or 348 tools.

Mazak is a pioneer of multitasking machines, and event attendees will experience the benefits of that technology with the Integrex i-150. The machine provides the versatility of single-setup, full 5-axis multitasking in a spacious work envelope, yet requires minimal floor space. Featuring a 72-tool magazine with a Capto connection, this machine has a 5,000-rpm turning spindle, 12,000-rpm, 15 HP B-axis milling spindle (0.0001-degree indexing increments), and +/- 3.94 in. Y-axis stroke. The Integrex i-150 quickly and efficiently turns and mills parts from raw bar stock up to 2.56 in. in diameter.

For manufacturers producing large quantities of small, extremely high-precision parts, Mazak’s Syncrex 12/8 will display the production power of Swiss-style turning on an 8-axis machine that handles a maximum turning diameter of 0.4724 in. (12 mm) and provides for up to 27 tools—19 static and eight live. The machine is equipped with the Mazatrol SmoothSt CNC that incorporates Mazak’s Swiss setup assist (MSSA) for fast and easy job setups, and Mazak dynamic chip control (MDCC) functionality.

For further ease of use, the Mazatrol SmoothSt CNC functions include tool touchoff, part cutoff, retract point, and start position. The CNC also allows for synchronous control of all axes, including the ability to simultaneously turn and drill along with rigid tapping with all spindles.
