Embedded Zero-Point System for Mazak Variaxis i‑800 NEO

In the machining of complex parts, every hundredth of a millimeter counts, and the clamping method plays a key role. At v‑tech s.r.o., we have designed and delivered an embedded zero-point system directly integrated into the table of a Mazak Variaxis i800 NEO. The result is maximally precise and fast positioning of workpieces in small-batch production of aerospace components. 

We implemented this custom solution for CHARVÁT AXL, a.s., where the system brings clear advantages. These include consistent repeatability, minimal part changeover time, and reliability even during multi-sided machining. In this particular application, the part is machined using five-axis simultaneous machining in 90% of the operations.

Precise Clamping Tailored to Your Production 

We used the variants UZV-T-8-GRB551 and UZV-T-6-AXG8-G6, designed to fit perfectly into the specific machine setup. The zero-point system enables quick and accurate positioning of the workpiece without the need for additional handling. This ensures repeatable clamping with the same precision and maintains stability even in multi-sided machining. All of this leads to time savings by eliminating the need for repeated setup. 

Thanks to our in-house design and production capabilities, we offer custom adaptations for various machine types and applications. Embedding a zero-point system is not just a technical feature — it’s a way to streamline the production process, reduce scrap rates, and increase overall productivity.
