Some of Snyder's most recent equipment additions have included the Mazak E-1060 and Mazak Ultra-650 machining centers. These combination machining centers and turning centers, are by far the most advanced multi-tasking machines in the industry.

The Mazak 5-axis system has rotary tables and tilting spindles capable of turning, milling, boring and drilling large diameter work pieces with a single setup, offering a true "done-in-one" machining process.

In addition these Mazak units are equipped with support systems that enable hours of continuous uninterrupted operation.

The Mazak 120-160 count tool magazines and automatic tool changers pre-load tools for different work pieces or provide back up tools as needed.

The Paletech pallet-loading system serves the machining center with parts that have been pre-loaded, programmed, queued and prioritized. The Mazak system automatically unloads the finished part and loads the new part in seconds.

The E-1060 features a robot and 12-station, two-level pallet system with enhanced loading and unloading capabilities.

The entire operation is overseen at the E-Tower command station which gives the operator complete control and constant reports on the machining progress. The system can also be accessed and monitored off-site if necessary.
