In our mission to provide our customers the quality parts they need and expect, Winndeavor has always deployed the finest equipment on our machine shop floor. One name that is a mainstay on our shop floor is Mazak, and it just became a bit more prevalent as we added a new multi-tasking machine to our arsenal: the Mazak INTEGREX j-200S. Join us as we welcome the latest member of the Winndeavor machining family.

About the INTEGREX j-200S
The Mazak INTEGREX j-200S is a multi-tasking machine designed to maximize value, precision, and throughput as it crafts complex medium-sized workpieces. The machine features two turning spindles and a milling spindle, so it can process parts from start to finish in a single set-up.
Winndeavor’s Senior Process & Manufacturing Engineer Kevin Schilson says “With this investment, we will be more attractive to manufacturers with very complex and high precision parts for medium to small volume production needs like manufacturers in the aerospace and medical field.”
Indeed, this five-axis machine center is perfect for making parts in a wide variety of industries, including:
The INTEGREX also uses the SmoothG control type, which makes it easier to generate complex programs for a wide variety of machining processes.

Why Multi-tasking Machine Centers Matter
Through the INTEGREX j-200S’ presence on the Winndeavor shop floor, we see great potential for this equipment to further bolster our capabilities and efficiency.
Schilson says “The equipment will allow us to quote more complex parts with shorter lead times.”
When asked what he expected the INTEGREX to deliver, Schilson says, “Through the perfect automation capability with no tool setup, we reduce downtime and ensure process reliability. This includes minimal human intervention and unattended operation for longer periods of time.
“This will allow us to compete and attract business from companies in other states and even other countries.”
An automated, multi-tasking machining center brings many benefits to machine shops and, by extension, our customers.

Enhancing Productivity and Efficiency
Multi-tasking machine centers allow multiple operations to be performed simultaneously, reducing setup time and increasing overall efficiency. This eliminates the need for multiple machines and setups, optimizing floor space and resources.
Flexibility and Versatility
Multi-tasking machine centers can perform a wide range of machining operations, such as milling, turning, drilling, tapping, and grinding. This eliminates the need for specialized machines, saving costs and reducing shop floor space. Thus, smaller machine shops can cater to diverse customer demands without investing in multiple machines.
Faster Turnaround Times
Combining multiple processes into a single setup eliminates the need for transferring components between different machines. This results in quicker machining cycles and reduced idle time, ultimately leading to faster production and delivery of finished parts. As a result, smaller machine shops can meet tight deadlines and fulfill customer orders more efficiently.
Improved Accuracy and Precision
Advanced technologies like CNC and automated tool changers ensure consistent and precise machining operations. Multi-tasking machine centers offer high quality standards crucial for smaller machine shops to attract and retain customers.
Staying Competitive and Future-Proofing
Investing in multi-tasking machine centers helps smaller machine shops stay competitive and adapt to changing market demands. The machines can be easily upgraded or retrofitted with new features, ensuring long-term growth and thriving in the dynamic manufacturing landscape.
