Multi-Tasking is the combining of part-manufacturing processes onto one machine that traditionally required multiple machines to accomplish. The ultimate goal is to turn, mill, drill, tap, bore, and finish the part in a single setup, what Mazak calls Done-In-One. This may be the single most important innovation in manufacturing technology for any company seeking to become lean, efficient, and globally cost-competitive. The calculator assists engineers by comparing a multi-tasking machine tool performance and costs versus a cell of single-spindle machines.
