Multi-Tasking in the machining world is the combining of processes onto one
machine, which were traditionally processed on multiple machines. The ultimate
goal is to turn, mill, drill, tap, bore and finish the part in a single setup,
what we call Done-In-One.
This may be the single most important innovation in manufacturing technology
for any company seeking to become lean, efficient, and globally
cost-competitive.
Mazak is a pioneer in the field, introducing the first turn/mill lathe in
1983. Over the past twenty years, we have developed the broadest range of
multi-tasking machines in the industry, serving low, medium and high-volume
producers.
What Mazak Multi-Tasking can do for you:
- Compress lead times - from days to hours
- Reduce lot sizes with no cost penalty - lots of one, or assembly kits
- Improve cash flow - higher frequency shipments
- Reduce part costs - fewer fixtures, tools and FAR LESS LABOR
- Slash non value-added time - multiple setups, handling, and queue time
- Improve part accuracy - no tolerance build-up
- Reduce shop burden - fewer machine tools/space/utilities
- Run "lights-out" - increase cutting time, but not labor costs
- Increase throughput and profitability
< Learn what impact Multi-Tasking has had on Mazak customers!
With over ninety models and variations to choose from, a tremendous array of
parts can benefit from Multi-Task processing. However, that can make selection
of the best machine and model a challenge. Use the Multi-Tasking
Calculator to help you determine what best fits your application. We have
also grouped the machines by process capability and size as a guideline below.
