Industry 4.0 will be placed at the centre of the EMO display from Yamazaki Mazak, where the company will be unveiling its iSmart factory concept (Hall 27, Stand B56). The stand will also feature 25 new machines, including 15 making their world debuts. The iSmart factory concept utilises Mazak’s Industry 4.0 infrastructure, which enables machine users to make the step-up from automated cell manufacturing to a completely connected factory of the future. Three key pillars form the solution: Mazak Smooth CNC technology; the new SmartBox, which provides fast data analysis with increased security; and the MT Connect standard communication protocol.

Taking centre stage from a machine perspective will be the latest addition to Mazak’s flagship Integrex range. The Integrex i-500 extends the capacity of the i series and features a modular design concept. This machine will be joined by another model shown for the first time, the Integrex i-800V/8, which combines full five-axis milling, turning and pallet-changing capabilities on a vertical platform.
