5-Axis Machining Centers

VORTEX i-V

5- axis vertical machining centers suited for multi-surface / 5- axis machining of heavy workpieces
  • Parts machining, which used to require multiple processes, can be completed in a single setup. This not only reduces the in-process inventory and lead-time, but it improves simultaneous machining accuracy.
  • In addition to multi-surface machining, 5- axis free-form machining is possible.

Highly rigid structure for stable high-accuracy machining

High-precision function as standard equipment

  • Linear roller guides utilized on all axes
    Linear roller guides with excellent rigidity are utilized in the X-, Y-, and Z-axes to achieve powerful cutting and high-accuracy machining.
  • B-axis roller gear cam
    Elimination of backlash ensures high-accuracy and high-efficiency machining. (over the rotary positioning range of 150 degrees, positioning accuracy is two times better than the ISO standard)
  • C- axis roller gear cam
    The NC rotary table utilizes a roller gear cam for high-accuracy machining over extended periods of operation and can be indexed in 0.0001° increments.
  • Cone coupling
    The pallet and table are clamped by cone couplings to ensure high rigidity and high repeatable positioning accuracy when changing pallets.
  • Y-axis slant structure
    The slanted structure of the Y-axis roller guide mounting surface ensures stable machining by absorbing the cutting load during machining.

High-accuracy machining with advanced technology

Smooth Ai spindle (Optional)

Mazak's unique AI adaptive control improves productivity and machined surface quality. If chatter vibration occurs during milling, the vibration sensor and AI adaptive control automatically change the machining conditions to suppress the chatter vibration.

1: Chatter occurs 2: Cutting conditions changed to minimize chatter 3: Chatter eliminated

SMOOTH MACHINING CONFIGURATION

Machining parameter tuning function

Machining features including cycle time, finished surface, and machining shape, which can be adjusted according to material requirements and machining methods. Since the operator can easily adjust and change settings, it is especially effective for complex workpiece contours defined in small program increments.

MAZA-CHECK

High accuracy 5-axis calibration

To ensure 5-axis machining accuracy, MAZA-CHECK measures and calibrates three values; first is the distance between the milling spindle center and table center of rotation (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction), second is the deviation between the B-axis center of rotation and the milling spindle center, and third is the offset amount between the B-axis center of rotation and the milling spindle edge surface. This calibration process is done automatically using a standard sphere, touch sensor*, and measurement macro.

  • *The RMP-600 wireless type high precision touch sensor is required.

Tool magazine development for a variety of workpieces and production volumes

Tool Transport System

The machine's utilization significantly increases by the extended automatic operation time. The number of stored tools in the machine magazine can be minimized and special tools can be shared among machines.

TOOL HIVE

The TOOL HIVE can store more than 240 tools in a small space. Operation and tool data editing can be performed on the TOOL HIVE TERMINAL control panel to reduce the time required for tool setup.
