Mazak Meets Accelerating Production Demands with Advanced Technology at IMTS 2026
Mazak will showcase advanced machine tool, automation and digital solutions designed to help manufacturers increase throughput and do more with fewer resources at IMTS 2026, in Booth #338300. As production demands accelerate across key industries, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to boost output while managing labor and cost constraints. Mazak’s technologies address these challenges through integrated machining, automation and digital connectivity.
Manufacturers in the semiconductor, aerospace, medical, oil and gas, defense and other key growth industries will learn how to drive their results with Mazak innovation. Live, real-world part cutting demonstrations will showcase the advantages of Mazak machines for Multi-Tasking, full five-axis machining, vertical and horizontal machining, CNC turning and Swiss-type production turning. Additionally, all Mazak machines offer seamless automation integration, and the company will spotlight several of its productivity-enhancing solutions that range from simple bar feeders and gantry loaders to standalone cobot systems and full multi-machine palletized cells.
“In an environment of rising labor costs, tariffs, inflation and other economic demands, we maintain our focus on providing high-value, high-performance and productive solutions,” said Dan Janka, President of Mazak. “Today’s shops are under tremendous pressure to increase their production in less time. To succeed, they need to do more with less, and they will accomplish that with the highly productive machines and automation technologies that Mazak will showcase at IMTS 2026.”
Among the 15 machines Mazak will feature at IMTS are models from its Neo Series, Ez Series, Multi-Tasking machines and Syncrex Swiss-style Production Turning Series. Neo Series machines are the result of Mazak’s continuous improvement and redesign of existing models in line with the current needs of manufacturers. Neo Series machines at the show will include the Integrex i-200ST Neo Multi-Tasking machine outfitted with gantry loader automation and the HCN-5000 NEO Horizontal Machining Center paired with Mazak’s Multi-Pallet Pool (MPP) compact multi-level pallet stocker system.
Mazak’s Kentucky-built and designed Ez Series of machines offers high value, high performance and a step above today’s commodity machines. From the series, Mazak will bring its VC-Ez 20 Vertical Machining Center equipped with an optional Mazak Mazatrol SmoothG CNC control and a 2-pallet changer. The machine provides ease of operation, fast installation, and long-term reliability for leveling up performance in any production environment.
Multi-Tasking technology is one of Mazak’s core strengths, and the company will demonstrate its Done In One part processing on the QRX-50MSY and QTE-100MSY Multi-Tasking machines. The QRX-50MSY’s combination of milling capability, second turning spindle and Y-axis functionality with advanced technology, productivity and value delivers exceptional performance for shops machining small parts such as EV input shafts, mid-shafts, valve fittings and other components exceeding 2" in diameter.
