Mazak’s HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO multitasking turning centers feature the company’s Mazatrol SmoothG3 control technology.
Both machines feature two spindles and three turrets — two upper and one lower — for “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 can simply integrate 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 can give users a clear, specific display of the turrets for programming and operational ease of use and to enable process security.
As part of the Mazatrol SmoothG3 control, the machines include Mazak’s Ai Thermal shield. The function enables stable machining accuracy through machine-learning-enhanced heat displacement compensation.
