Mazak has now launched its new QTE Series turning centre that demonstrates simple setup, operation and programming. The high-speed CNC turning centres are the first machines to be equipped with SmoothEz, the latest generation of MAZATROL CNC.
MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC combines three easy features, the Ez Machining, Ez Operation and Ez Setup. Ez Machining offers high-speed and precision machining with thermal compensation control that is delivered by Mazak’s Thermal Shield to maximise accuracy. Ez Operation includes QUICK MAZATROL for fast conversational programming and an intuitive operating system that can be customised according to the operator preference.
By integrating Mazak’s Smooth CAM Ai and Mazatrol Twins, a virtual copy of the machine can be replicated in the office for enhanced setup. Collective management of machine data is synchronised between the factory and office with Smooth Project Manager. Additionally, Smooth CAM Ai can reduce programming time with Solid MAZATROL to automatically generate programs from 3D models using Ai deep-learning to determine the optimal process from past programs. The QTE is equipped with a 5,000rpm spindle motor and two turret selections are available with a 12-position drum turret as standard and an 8-position turret as an option.
