Mazak HCN-8800 with PALLETECH Automation System
What is the Mazak 8800 PALLETECH automation system?
The Mazak 8800 PALLETECH automation system is a world-class solution for high-volume, high-precision manufacturing. Thanks to its automatic pallet changing and part scheduling, this machine delivers performance and scalability that places Basin Precision among the best-equipped machine shops in the country.
Features of the Mazak HCN-8800 with PALLETECH automation system
High-volume production without compromise
Our HCN-8800 HMC boasts an 800mm pallet size that is ideal for large components, complex geometrics and multi-face machining. Coupled with automatic pallet changing and part scheduling, we maximize spindle uptime and throughput, and can run lights-out, even on weekends.
Fully integrated PALLETECH system
The PALLETECH flexible manufacturing system gives us the ability to:
- Queue multiple jobs with smart scheduling
- Run multiple parts across different shifts
- Reduce manual handling and setup time
- Increase lights-out manufacturing capability
With 6 pallet stations and dynamic work scheduling, we can scale with your demand and respond quickly to production changes.
Unrivaled accuracy and repeatability
The HCN-8800 features linear roller guides, heavy-duty spindles, and thermally stable construction that delivers sub-micron accuracy even on complex multi-axis jobs. This means tight tolerances met consistently across high-volume runs.
Benefits of the Mazak HCN-8800 with PALLETECH automation system
Built to support lean manufacturing
Every minute counts in production. Our Mazak HCN-8800 with PALLETECH helps reduce:
- Setup time with automated tool and pallet changes
- Cycle time through 4-axis machining
- Operator intervention, enabling longer unattended runs
Whether you’re in need of drivetrain housings, hydraulic manifolds or structural components, our system ensures consistent part quality and a lean, cost-efficient process.
Benefits of the Mazak PALLETECH High Rise System
Extended Unattended Operation
- The system can run lights-out (overnight or weekend) by staging sufficient raw material and tools in advance.
- Boosts spindle utilization well beyond manual operations.
Space Optimization
- High-rise vertical pallet racking means more pallets per square foot—critical for shops with limited real estate.
Flexible, Scalable Design
Modular system allows:
- Starting with one machine and expanding later.
- Adding more machines, pallet racks, or loading stations as production needs grow.
High-Mix / Low-to-Mid Volume Friendly
- Ideal for flexible manufacturing environments where product mix changes frequently.
- Smart software dynamically adjusts priorities based on due dates, material/tool availability, and machine readiness.
Reduced Labor Dependence
- Minimal operator intervention required during production shifts.
- Frees up skilled labor for programming, inspection, and higher-value tasks.
