High productivity

The spindle has high power, high torque, and high rigidity. With spindle output of 59.5 HP (1 min. rating) and maximum torque of 432 ft・lbs, the powerful high-speed performance enables heavy cutting during rough machining of iron, cast metal, and aluminum, and also high-speed, high-accuracy machining during finish machining. 

High productivity

Fastest feed speed and largest axis stroke in its class

By utilizing roller linear guides on all axes, high-accuracy machining is ensured even at high-speed federates. Additionally, fast, vibration free acceleration / deceleration are realized thanks to the smooth high-gain servo control and high-power AC servo motors.

High-speed indexing of large, heavy workpieces

Enables quick table indexing when loading large, heavy workpieces to improve productivity by reducing non-cutting time. The μ-8800 comes standard with a 1° x 360 index table. μ-10800 is equipped with an NC rotary table (with high-accuracy scale) as standard.

Heat Displacement Control - THERMAL SHIELD

THERMAL SHIELD is an automatic compensation system for room temperature changes, which realizes enhanced continuous machining accuracy. MAZAK has performed extensive testing in a variety of environments in a temperature controlled room and has used the results to develop a control system that automatically compensates for temperature changes in the machining area. Stable machining accuracy can be obtained over a long period of time without difficulty in countermeasures against thermal displacement. Temperature and compensation is displayed on screen. Operator can adjust compensation while looking at the data.
