Four UK debuts for Mazak at MACH 2024

Yamazaki Mazak is aiming to give a further confidence boost to machine users at MACH 2024 with UK debuts for three machines and the new MAZATROL DX.

Featuring nine machines in total as part of Mazak’s “Building For Your Future” offering, customers will be able to discuss their requirements and take a look at the machines that are entry-level, user- friendly, robot-ready, cost-effective and available with short lead times.

One of the highlights will be the HCN-4000 NEO making its UK debut, a high-performance horizontal machining center with exceptional productivity, accuracy and environmental performance.

Alongside will be a second NEO machine, the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO, a next generation 5-axis machining center for full automatic operation over extended periods.

Mazak will also be giving a UK debut to the FSW-460V, a ‘purpose built’ machine developed to overcome the key challenges faced by manufacturers adopting friction stir welding (FSW) technology to join materials.

Alan Mucklow, Managing Director UK, Eire and National Distributors at Yamazaki Mazak, commented: “MACH is the flagship machining event of 2024, and we will be bringing a range of new and UK-built machines that can enable machine users to access the technology to give them an immediate boost to productivity and profitability.

“We have significantly invested in our own UK manufacturing facilities in Worcester in recent years to increase develop and manufacture a range of machines now available on short lead-times and with highly competitive and innovative finance packages.”
