Mazak INTEGREX i-200 NEO

The Mazak INTEGREX i-200 NEO is a compact 8-inch-chuck horizontal multi-tasking machine: a turning spindle, a tilting B-axis milling head and a tailstock, on a single short 590U bed. Maximum machining length is 590 mm (23 in) against Φ600 mm (Φ24 in) of maximum machining diameter, which frames the machine clearly. It is built for short, feature-dense parts — housings, flanges, manifolds, stub shafts — rather than long between-centres work.

The turning spindle is rated 22 kW (30 HP), 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, to 5,000 rpm. The milling spindle runs to 12,000 rpm at 18.5 kW (25 HP) and 57.3 N·m peak, 15 kW (20 HP) and 46.1 N·m continuous, through HSK-A63 or HSK-T63 tooling. Putting nearly as much power in the milling head as in the turning spindle is what separates a machine like this from a lathe with driven tooling: the milling operations are expected to remove real material, not just drill a few cross-holes.

Travels are 535 mm (21 in) on X, 210 mm (8 in) on Y and 640 mm (25 in) on Z. Two hundred and ten millimetres of Y is enough to reach off the centreline for flats, pockets and bolt circles, but on parts with features well off-axis the B axis will do more of the work than Y does. B covers -30° to +210° with a 0.0001° minimum increment. Rapids are 48,000 mm/min (1,890 IPM) on X and 40,000 mm/min on Y and Z.

The 36-station magazine takes tools to Φ90 mm, or Φ130 mm (Φ5 in) with adjacent pockets clear, 300 mm (12 in) long and 5 kg (11 lb). The 5 kg limit is the practical ceiling — large shell mills and heavy boring bars belong on a bigger INTEGREX. Tailstock thrust is 7 kN (1,573 lb) through an MT No.5 centre, which is light support for slender work rather than heavy between-centres capability.

At 3,505 × 2,735 mm (138 × 108 in), 2,445 mm (96 in) tall and 10,780 kg (23,765 lb), this is one of the smaller routes into genuine multi-tasking. It suits job shops whose parts justify done-in-one machining but not a full-size machine.
