The survival of manufacturing in North America hinges on productivity - making parts faster while reducing the labor component.  Sometimes, this means a clean-sheet re-evaluation of the current process.  Other times, it means utilizing equipment that slashes cycle times, programming, and setup times using a time-proven process.

Mazak Nexus serves both of these needs, with less cost!

The Nexus philosophy is the application of leading technologies to achieve ever-higher benchmarks in throughput.  By applying these technologies around the world, and the use of Mazak’s lean manufacturing disciplines, Nexus machines deliver a new standard of lowest cost-per-part.

Nexus Vertical Machining Centers (VCN) are offered in standard and high-speed versions.  Rigorous application testing has shown productivity increases of 20% to 50% in steel parts, and 40% to 70% in aluminum components over previous models.  In addition, the ease of conversational programming on Mazatrol CNC helps to shorten the time between order and “making chips”.  Large capacity ATC’s and available 2-pallet changers maximize spindle uptime, while reducing setup time.

Likewise, Nexus Quick Turn Centers (QTN) have achieved productivity improvements from 40% (in steel) to 80% (in aluminum), with no change in the process you’re using now!  3-D structural analysis assures high accuracy over a long service life on all Nexus models.

Multi-Tasking, too!

Often, the most effective way to increase throughput is to study existing processes, and find ways to combine them on one machine.  Quick Turn Nexus Centers offer live tooling, dual spindles, and y-axis machining capabilities in addition to fast cycles.  Multi-Tasking allows you to reduce; setups, queue time, labor content, and lead-time even further.

Nexus style in a horizontal machine

The success of the Nexus philosophy in Mazak Vertical Machining Centers and Turning Centers is now being incorporated into our line of Horizontal Machining Centers.  Results are faster, more accurate production for a range of applications.  Fewer moving parts add to long service life, ease of maintenance, and a compact footprint.  Mazak Nexus HMC’s are all about productivity.
