Mazak will host Discover 2023 October 9-13 at its North American headquarters in Florence, Kentucky. The event will feature four action areas of live machine-tool demonstrations and highlight automation and advanced digital products.
Anchored by the theme, “Learn more. Do more. Make more,” Discover will offer visitors the opportunity to experience and learn about a wide range of Mazak Multi-Tasking, high-production and advanced-manufacturing technology, as well as job-shop products.
The job-shop-products action area will include Mazak’s Ez Series of machines and demonstrate how shops of any size can implement Mazak equipment. Designed and manufactured in Florence, Kentucky, the full lineup of Ez vertical, turning and Multi-Tasking machining centers are available for every manufacturer.
The high-production technology action area will showcase Mazak’s Syncrex Series of Swiss-style machines designed for high-volume production of small, precise parts. Attendees will see first-hand how adding fast, high-accuracy and tight-tolerance production can boost business opportunities.
Two additional action areas will spotlight Mazak Multi-Tasking and advanced manufacturing technologies. Among the featured machines in the Multi-Tasking action area will be Mazak’s Integrex and Quick Turn series that combine multiple operations for Done In One processing of raw materials to finished part.
The advanced-manufacturing technology action area will focus on Mazak’s two new Neo Series of machines. The next-generation Variaxis Neo Series of five-axis machining centers delivers multiple-surface simultaneous machining capability in a compact machine. Mazak’s HCN-5000 Neo Horizontal Machining Centers are the newest additions to the line of horizontal machines.
Also featured in the advanced-manufacturing action area will be the VC-500A/5X HWD Hybrid Multi-Tasking machine, which incorporates joining and additive technologies. All Mazak machines are powered by Mazatrol Smooth CNCs, and all Mazak Mazatrol Smooth Controls feature Mazak’s ultra-high-speed machining software, which allows for both conversational and G-code EIA/ISO programming.
Real-time technology demonstrations will be underpinned by a range of standard and customized automation products. Mazak Automation Solutions experts will be on hand to discuss ways to integrate automation into production.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the Mazak Kentucky campus, the centerpiece of which is the Mazak iSmart Factory. Visitors can see Mazaks building Mazaks in real time. Tours of Mazak’s new 27,000-sq-ft, state-of-the-art Syncrex production facility, which combines engineering, production and applications support for the Syncrex Series machine tools, will also be available.
While at Discover 2023, attendees can also consult with Mazak manufacturing experts, hear keynote speakers and participate in panel discussions on the latest manufacturing developments and trends. The company will also spotlight its MPower Complete Customer Care program that provides end-to-end support for every Mazak machine tool and Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF), which gives customers access to factory-direct financing on Mazak machines.
