Yamazaki Mazak has announced the date for its ‘EMO Encore’ open house, which offers UK machine users the opportunity to see first-hand the latest technology debuted in Hanover last month. The event will be held at Mazak’s European Technology Centre in Worcester on 14-17 November, and will combine machining technology in live cutting action, with guided tours. Attendees will also have the chance to gain insight and understand the capabilities of Mazak’s iSmart Factory concept.

Among 20 machines on display, 11 of which were on the original stand at EMO, will be the Integrex i-500 – which was created in response to requests from the European market for an Integrex with a bigger workspace envelope. The machine is therefore equipped with increased X- and Y-axis capacity, and a large machining envelope. Benefitting from a new 24 kW, 12,000 rpm mill spindle, complemented by a 37 kW, 2500 rpm main spindle, the i-500 also allows the operator closer access to the workpiece.
