Mazak’s “Discover More” Event to Showcase Cutting-Edge Job Shop Solutions and Automation!

Mazak North America is set to host its highly anticipated “Discover More With Mazak” event from May 6-8, 2025, at its Midwest Technology Center in Schaumburg, Illinois. Designed to boost job shop production and profitability, the event will feature live cutting demonstrations, advanced automation technologies, and expert-led application displays.

Mazak will present its full range of machine tool solutions, catering to precision machining, high-volume production, and multitasking operations. Attendees will experience real-time machining demonstrations across five-axis, horizontal, vertical, multitasking, Swiss-style, and hybrid additive manufacturing platforms.

Highlighted technologies include:

• Five-axis machining centers for complex geometries, including the Variaxis i-700 Neo, VC-Ez 16X, and UD 400/5X Ultra Precise.
• Horizontal machining centers (HMCs) such as the HCN-4000 Neo, paired with Palletech modular automation for high-productivity applications.
• Vertical machining centers (VMCs) from the Kentucky-built Ez Series, including the VC-Ez 20 2PC with pallet changing and the VC-Ez 26, which features Thermal Displacement Control for stable part processing.
• Multitasking machines like the Integrex i-450H ST AG, which integrates turning, milling, and advanced gear machining.
• High-production CNC turning centers, including the HQR-150MSY, QTE-100MSY SG, and Quick Turn 250MY, demonstrating efficient two-spindle/two-turret machining for reduced cycle times.
• Swiss-type turning machines, including the Syncrex 38/9, Syncrex 12/8, and Syncrex 25/9X, optimized for medical, automotive, and hydraulic applications.
• Hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, such as the VC-500A/5X AM HWD, which combines hot-wire deposition (HWD) with five-axis subtractive machining.

Beyond machine exhibits, the event will offer in-depth seminars, panel discussions, and hands-on demonstrations focused on automation, process optimization, and advanced manufacturing strategies. Mazak’s industry and application experts will provide insights into maximizing shop efficiency, reducing cycle times, and integrating automation for increased productivity.

For job shops looking to stay ahead in precision machining, automation, and multitasking technology, “Discover More With Mazak” offers a firsthand look at the latest advancements in manufacturing. Whether upgrading production capabilities, exploring automation solutions, or optimizing shop efficiency, attendees will gain valuable knowledge and experience cutting-edge innovations in action.
