Orontide have invested in a new CNC multi-tasking machine, the Mazak Integrex e-1600V/10S for their Bunbury machining workshop.
Orontide is a leading Western Australian owned company that has been providing specialist engineering, preservation and maintenance services to the mining and resources, oil and gas, naval defence and commercial marine industries for over 40 years.
Orontide Engineering Services South West General Manager, Daniel Madaffari, and Operations Manager, Ashley Carbone (pictured above) travelled to Japan to inspect and sign off on the new machine.
With new business opportunities on the horizon, this strategic investment ensures that Orontide remains at the cutting edge of engineering services. The new machine will not only increase Orontide’s capacity but also enable the company to perform tasks in-house that we previously outsourced, leading to greater efficiencies, enhanced safety and improved margins.
Daniel and Ashley’s visit to Mazak’s facilities, including the head office in Oguchi and the Minokamo Plant 1, was crucial in finalising this purchase. Their experience allowed them to witness the machine in action, ensuring it meets Orontode’s high standards. They also gained valuable insights into future business expansions during a tour of the Mazak Tool Museum and Machining Plant.
Preparations are currently underway in Orontide’s Bunbury workshop to accommodate the new addition as they prepare for the machine’s arrival. Orontide are excited about the increased capabilities and growth this investment will bring to their business, driving Orontide forward in their commitment to excellence.
Mazak Integrex e-1600V/10S - advanced vertical multi-tasking machine for all one chucking with single table
Perfect for job shops as well as aerospace and heavy construction part manufacturers, the single-table Mazak Integrex e-1600V/10S multi-tasking machine fuses together the capabilities of a full simultaneous 5-axis machine with those of a vertical turning center.
Because the machine is able to perform milling, turning, boring and drilling operations in single setups, manufacturers can reduce the inaccuracies that occur when moving heavy parts across multiple workstations, eliminate work-in-process inventory and boost overall throughput.
Such advanced multi-tasking functionality together with a workpiece capacity of 2,300 mm in diameter and 1,600 mm high allows the machine to easily handle large, highly complex components from aluminium, steel and high-temperature alloy materials.
