MAZAK is expanding its NEO Series with two new multi-tasking turning centers, the HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO machines. They are the first multi-tasking machines in the NEO Series line, and they feature Mazak’s new Mazatrol SmoothG3 control technology.
Mazak will demonstrate the new NEO machines at IMTS 2024, in booth 338300.
Both machines have two spindles and three turrets – two upper and one lower – for Done In OneÒ part processing opportunities and high-volume throughput in single set-ups. The drum-style turrets provide 12 or 16 tool positions and rotary tool capability.
The machines’ main spindles handle 4-in. bar stock, and the secondary spindles are capable of processing bar diameters up to 2.992 in. (76 mm.) The machines 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 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.
As part of the MAZATROL SmoothG3 control, the machines include Mazak’s Ai Thermal Shield. The function ensures stable machining accuracy through machine-learning-enhanced heat displacement compensation.
At IMTS 2024 - in booth 338300 – the HQR 200/3 NEO will be a centerpiece for Mazak’s High-production Action Area. In the same area Mazak will demonstrate its ongoing commitment to continuous innovation in machine tool technology, automation, and digital solutions “designed to help manufactures do more and make more.” Must-see technology for job shops, multi-tasking and advanced manufacturing will be featured in live demonstrations processing real-world industry-specific parts.
