The Mineral Castings will be produced in-house and the range of adopted machines is expanding.

Yamazaki Mazak Corporation will begin producing mineral castings in-house, a material that is effective in improving the precision of machine tools through its superior vibration damping performance and other features.
The use of this material in our machine tools will be expanded.

Mineral casting is a composite material made from naturally occurring minerals, rocks and epoxy resin as a binding agent.
It has high vibration damping performance and thermal stability, contributing to higher efficiency and precision of machine tools.

We plan to complete the technical development for mass production by the end of the fiscal year, commence mass production in fiscal year 2024, and start shipping new models with in-house mineral castings.
