Mazak Expands NEO Series, Which Will Take Center Stage at IMTS 2024
The new HQR 200/3 and HQR 250/3 are the first multitasking machines in the series and offer precision and DONE IN ONE® production.
Posted: August 28, 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 Multitasking Turning Centers. Not only are the machines the first multitasking 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.
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, the HQR 200/3 NEO will take center stage in Mazak’s High-production Action Area. Along with that new machine, Mazak will showcase 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 also be featured in live demonstrations processing real-world industry-specific parts at IMTS 2024 in booth #338300.
Every Mazak machine, including those at IMTS, are backed by Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care, the industry’s most comprehensive machine support program. Plus, Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF) allows shops to easily move their manufacturing forward with one-stop, factory-direct financing on Mazak equipment.
