Mazak's New FJV-35/60 II Excels in Machining of Large Workpieces

Mazak's versatile FJV-35/60 II is a double-column, vertical machining center designed for the high-speed, high precision production of large workpieces. Suitable for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, construction, die and mold, and heavy machine, the versatile FJV-35/60 II accommodates up to 5,500 lbs on a 59.1"x31.5" work table.

Mazak equipped the FJV-35/60 II with a powerful 50 taper, 40 hp, 10,000-rpm integrated spindle that generates up to 433 ft-lbs of torque for heavy duty cutting of large cast iron, steel and aluminum workpieces. The FJV-35/60 II is also available with an optional 40 taper, 18,000rpm high-speed spindle.

FJV-35/60 II's machining productivity is greatly improved from the previous model. In the manufacture of an aluminum (A5052) aircraft beam, the cutting time is significantly reduced by 40%. Similarly, the cutting time in the manufacture of a cast iron (FC300) sprocket is reduced by 20%. ATC tool chip-to-chip time is also reduced from 7.5 s to 5.0 s.

The new machining center is available with a 5-face machining option, which utilizes a spindle automatically indexable by 90 degrees, a special angle tool capable of automatic tool change (ATC) and an angle tool holder that can be indexed in four positions.

FJV-35/60 II utilizes roller guides on all axes for increased rigidity and high feedrates of 1574 IPM in the X- and Y- axes and 1181 IPM in the Z-axis. The machining center's direct drive ball screw system boosts high accuracy roundness to 5 µm with a feedrate of 22 IPM over the previous machine. The FJV-35/60 II also features a larger envelope thanks to an extended Z-axis stroke of 25.98," enabling the machining of workpieces up to 25.20" in height, as well self-cuts of fixture plate surfaces.

FJV-35/60 II features Mazak's sixth-generation CNC system, Mazatrol MATRIX NEXUS for advanced conversational programming and EIA input as well. It offers a 12" LCD color display and the familiar QWERTY keyboard. A pointing device, acting like a mouse, and USB port for downloading programs are also at the operator's fingertips. The environmentally friendly machine also uses energy-saving functions, including an LED work light, grease lubrication and an Inverter control for each conveyor that reduces electric power consumption by 15%.
