From mark IV to "I" Integrex

Wow, huge differences/changes on newer Mazak Integrexes.
Mazak should have put out a manual or class for those going from one to the other. Maybe I'll put something together...

Integrex Simultaneous machining

If you haven't unlocked the power of "2 workpiece mode" on you Mazak Integrex St, I can help you cut cycle times in half.

Both spindles and turrets machining at the same time, it's great, check it out!!

Surface finish

Today I was taking a face cut on some 304ss parts...

Was getting an "11" finish with NO polishing! Parts looked great!

Ceramic

2" dia ceramic cutter,
1500 sfm
.010 depth of cut
.007 feed per rev
No coolant
Cuts great, but setup must be VERY sturdy, slightest bit of vibration and forget it.

Recently ran a 1" dia. High feed cutter from Iscar. In 4140 steel, .035 depth of cut, 1298 rpm's, and 136 inches per minute feed. Great for machines that are low on horsepower also... Try it out!
