The new models INTEGREX j-200 NEO and INTEGREX j-200S NEO with counter spindle are based on the proven concept of the original multi-tasking j-series, which was first introduced in 2010. The models are ideally suited for the supply industry as well as for applications in the automotive industry, motorsport, aerospace, and medical technology, offering a significant increase in productivity for users of lathes who want to enhance their profitability through reduced setup and cycle times.
Crucially, the revised specification of the NEO machines offers a significant increase in productivity, machining accuracy, and environmental compatibility compared to previous models.
The INTEGREX j-200 NEO is one of a total of 20 machines that Mazak will present at EMO 2025 in Hall 15, Stand B24. At its booth, Mazak highlights the benefits of a true partnership between machine manufacturer and user under the motto 'Experience innovation, empower your future.'
A key highlight of the new INTEGREX j-200 NEO machines is the compact milling spindle, which is equipped with an integrated Mazak spindle motor. It offers a significant power increase – 18.5kW power and 59.7Nm torque – making it suitable for a wide range of materials and applications. The compact design of the new milling spindle compared to the previous generation reduces potential collisions with the workpiece and expands the machine's working area.
The main spindle, equipped with an 8" chuck, features a powerful motor with 18.5kW and 326Nm torque, as well as an integrated cooling circuit in the spindle head. This allows for high material removal rates while maintaining stable machining accuracy. With a bar passage of Ø65mm and a maximum turning diameter of Ø480mm, the j-200 and j-200S NEO models are ideal for automated bar processing as well as robot-loaded machining.
To facilitate the machining of more complex workpieces, the INTEGREX j-series NEO now standardly offers an indexing resolution of 0.0001° on the B-axis. A larger magazine with 36 tools – optionally expandable to 72 tools – significantly reduces setup times between component runs while providing three times the tool capacity compared to a lathe with a turret at significantly lower tool costs compared to driven tool holders.
The INTEGREX j-200S NEO is also available with a 15kW counter spindle and a torque of up to 167Nm, which can help reduce setup times for workpieces that require backside machining. Both machines are available with a bed length of 1000U, while the tailstock variant is also available in a bed length of 500U.
Continuous machining accuracy is enhanced by the addition of the Ai Thermal Shield function, which automatically determines compensation for fluctuating ambient temperatures using advanced algorithms, thereby optimizing process stability for automated production.
Improved environmental compatibility is a key feature of Mazak's NEO series, of which the INTEGREX j-200 NEO and j-200S NEO are no exception. Both machines achieve energy savings of 10% through the use of frequency-controlled hydraulic and cooling units that only run when needed. The reduction of compressed air demand also contributes to lowering energy consumption.
The new machines are controlled by Mazak's SmoothG control system. Housed in an ergonomic control panel with a 19-inch touchscreen display, it combines MAZATROL's dialog-oriented programming with G-code programming to provide the operator with the best of both worlds. Additionally, users can program the machines via a 3D model, thanks to Mazak's unique '3D Assist Function.'
Both machines are compatible with MAZATROL DX, a new productivity software that allows users to optimize their manufacturing process remotely. Features include fast, automated quoting, automated part programming, virtual machine simulation, as well as analysis and optimization of machining processes.
Additional productivity can be achieved by integrating the machines with the robot-assisted loading solution Mazak TA (Turn Assist). This is available in three configurations (TA-12 / TA-25 / TA-35), depending on the workpiece weight.
