Along with 20 high-performance machine tools, Mazak introduces the Quick Turn Smart 100M, which is the newest member of the company’s Smart Series of affordable CNC turning centers. It offers high levels of productivity, accuracy, and reliability by reducing the number of setups typically required in high-production manufacturing environments.
Featuring a small footprint of 91” x 70.9”, the Quick Turn Smart 100M turning center is ideal for job shops focused on small-parts processing. It employs a single turning spindle and a drum-style turret with rotating-tool capabilities, delivers fast axis federates, and incorporates the user-friendly CNC Smart control.
The Quick Turn Smart 100M’s headstock features a 6” chuck mounted on a 15hp, 6,000rpm highly rigid integrated spindle motor with a 2.4” diameter spindle bore that is optimized for machining performance. The machine utilizes a 12-position drum turret and 7.5hp, 4,500rpm rotary tool spindle for basic milling, drilling, and tapping operations, allowing many processes to be completed in a single machine cycle.
The turning center uses Mazak’s MX Hybrid Roller Guide System on the X- and Z-axes to ensure high rigidity and smooth cutting. It also features X-axis ball screw pretension for high accuracy. Additionally, the machine is very reliable, particularly when set up for long runs with an automatic bar-feeder system.
The Quick Turn Smart 100M’s Mazak Smart control simplifies turning operations through ease of operation, a 10.4” LCD color display and the familiar QWERTY keyboard. A pointing device, acting like a mouse, is also at the operator’s fingertips. Conversational part programming can also be accomplished. Mazak Smart control also accepts EIA/ISO programs.
