Yamazaki Mazak will debut the latest additions to its flagship Integrex range at
EMO Hannover 2025, taking place 22-26 September (Stand B24, Hall 15), unveiling the new j-series NEO models designed to meet the growing demand for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The Integrex j-200 NEO and its second spindle counterpart, the j-200S NEO, build on the legacy of the original j-Series multitasking machines first introduced in 2010.
Engineered for versatility, the latest models are ideally suited to general subcontracting as well as applications across the automotive, autosport, aerospace and medical sectors. They offer a compelling productivity upgrade for turret lathe users seeking to reduce setup and lead times while boosting profitability.
Mazak has placed a strong emphasis on performance enhancements with the NEO specification, delivering notable gains in machining accuracy, productivity and environmental efficiency over previous iterations. Among the 20 machines set to be showcased on Mazak’s stand, the Integrex j-200S NEO will feature prominently under the company’s
EMO theme: “Experience innovation, empower your future”. The message underscores Mazak’s commitment to fostering genuine partnerships between machine builder and end user.
A standout feature of the new j-200 NEO is its compact milling spindle, which incorporates a built-in Mazak motor to deliver 18.5kW of power and 59.7Nm of torque. This upgrade enables the machine to handle a wider range of materials and applications, while the reduced spindle size minimises workpiece interference and expands the working envelope.
Well-suited for robot-fed operationsThe main turning spindle, equipped with an 8in chuck, also benefits from a powerful 18.5kW motor generating 326Nm of torque. An integrated cooling circuit within the headstock ensures stable machining accuracy even under high material removal rates. With a bar capacity of 65mm diameter and a maximum swing of 480mm diameter, both the j-200 NEO and j-200S NEO are well-suited to automated bar work and robot-fed operations.
To support more complex machining tasks, the j-Series NEO machines now feature 0.0001deg indexing resolution on the B-axis as standard. A larger 36-tool magazine—expandable to 72 — offers three-times the tool capacity of a turret lathe, significantly reducing set-up times and tooling costs, particularly when compared to driven-tool holders.
The j-200S NEO variant introduces a second spindle rated at 15kW and capable of delivering up to 167Nm of torque. This addition is particularly beneficial for workpieces requiring phase alignment, helping to streamline set-up and improve throughput. Both machines are available in 1000 U bed lengths, with a tailstock version offered in a 500 U configuration.
Mazak has also incorporated its Ai Thermal Shield technology, which uses advanced algorithms to automatically compensate for temperature fluctuations, thereby enhancing process stability—especially in automated production environments.
Lower energy consumptionMeanwhile, environmental performance has not been overlooked. The NEO series achieves a 10% energy saving thanks to inverter-driven hydraulic and chiller units that operate only when needed. A reduction in compressed air usage further contributes to lower energy consumption.
Control is provided by Mazak’s SmoothG system, housed in an ergonomic panel featuring a 19in touchscreen. The interface supports both Mazatrol conversational and G-code programming, offering operators flexibility with ease-of-use. The inclusion of the 3D Assist Function allows programming directly from a 3D model—a capability unique to Mazak.
Both machines are compatible with Mazatrol DX, Mazak’s new productivity software suite. This enables remote optimisation of the production process and includes features such as automated quotations, part programming, virtual machine simulation and process analysis.
Further productivity gains can be realised by integrating the machines with Mazak’s Turn Assist (TA) robotic tending solution, available in three configurations — TA-12, TA-25 and TA-35—depending on the weight of the workpiece.
