Mazak Integrex
Multi-tasking turning + 5-axis milling on one machine
Parts that today take 3-4 setups across a lathe and a mill. If your shop is running parts through a Quick Turn, then a VMC, then back through the lathe for back-side work, Integrex is the answer.
What the Integrex family is
Integrex is Mazak's multi-tasking line — a full turning machine with a B-axis milling head, sub-spindle, and tool changer. Done well, it completes parts in one cycle that would otherwise need 3-4 setups across multiple machines. Done poorly, it's an expensive Quick Turn that confuses the operator.
I worked on Integrex installs during my time at Mazak Corporation and have programmed them on my own since 2009. The documented twin-spindle Integrex 200 cycle improvement I have on file (from 24:17 down to 16:05, 34% reduction on 200 pieces/month) came from re-thinking process across both spindles, not from any single magic tool change.
The decision to step from a Quick Turn 250MSY to an Integrex i-200 isn't about turning capability — both have a turret and a sub-spindle. It's about whether the part needs real milling work: B-axis interpolation, prismatic features at compound angles, full 5-sided machining. If the milling is light (one or two C-axis features), a QT-MSY is right. If the milling is meaningful, Integrex.

Integrex i-200
2010s–presentControls: Matrix Nexus, SmoothG, SmoothAi
The most common Integrex on US shop floors. Mid-size envelope, full B-axis milling head, sub-spindle. The model I have documented cycle-time work on.

Integrex i-630
2010s–presentControls: SmoothG, SmoothAi
Large multi-tasking — substantial bed length.

Top of the i-series envelope.

Integrex e-Series (e-500, e-650, e-670H)
2010s–presentControls: Matrix Nexus, SmoothG, SmoothAi
Larger e-series for jobs the i-series can't fit. The e-670H is the heavy-duty version.

Integrex j-Series
CurrentControls: SmoothG, SmoothAi
Cost-positioned sub-line. Less milling capability than the i-series for shops where the multi-tasking value is mostly the sub-spindle transfer.
