First multi-tasking machines in series offer precision and DONE IN ONE® production
FLORENCE, Ky., August 27, 2024 – Mazak continues to grow its NEO Series of machines with the addition of the new HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO Multi-Tasking Turning Centers. Not only are the machines the first multi-tasking machines in the NEO Series line, they also feature Mazak’s new MAZATROL SmoothG3 control technology.
Both machines have two spindles and three turrets – two upper and one lower – for unequaled DONE IN ONE® part processing opportunities and high-volume throughput in single setups. The drum-style turrets provide 12 or 16 tool positions and rotary tool capability. Main machine spindles handle 4” bar stock while the second spindle is capable of processing bar diameters up to 2.992” (76 mm). The machine easily integrates with available bar feeders and workpiece loaders/unloaders for fully automated operations.
For the HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO, Mazak developed its MAZATROL SmoothG3 control to support three-turret machine functionality. The control gives users a clear specific display of the turrets for programming and operational ease of use and to ensure process security.
