Retrofit MAZAK Verticle Machining Center

Updated: Jun 10, 2018

The Design 4 U Company helped this Plano Manufacturer to get this Vertical Machining Center back online. This machine was down and sitting on property taking up space. The client was going to sell it back to the manufacturer and buy a new one. They, instead, decided to give it another try and save it to see if it could be repaired and modernized so they could use it to help their production once again.


This machine does vertical milling, which employs a spindle with a vertical orientation.

With a vertically oriented spindle, tools stick straight down from the tool holder, and often cut across the top of a workpiece.

Vertical Machining, also known as milling, relies on rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece

The Design 4 U Company took 2 and half weeks of changing controls, rewiring electrical, program and customizing to their specifications to get it back to par. This client plans to use this machine to help with prototypes for their clients.


BENEFITS OF VERTICAL MACHINING

  • 3-, 4- and 5-axis capabilities for infinite possibilities as to the part shapes you can process

  • Temperature stability through integral cooling

  • MX Hybrid Roller Guides provide durability and reliability for long-term accuracy

  • On-board probing for part location and feature inspection with the cutting cycle

  • User-friendly CNC controls simplify programming and increase productivity

  • Pallet changers that increase spindle utilization and reduce part cycle times


Onsite upgraded electrical panel.

The Design 4 U Company has been helping companies get their machines up and running quickly with affordable engineering solutions, from retrofits like this one to prototyping and manufacturing.
