Machine Comparison
Chiron 08 Series Mill-Turn vs Mazak INTEGREX AG
Chiron vs Yamazaki Mazak · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The Chiron 08 Series Mill-Turn and the Mazak INTEGREX AG are multi-tasking machines aimed at different parts. The Chiron targets small medical, dental, watch and instrument components that need milling and turning in one setup. The INTEGREX AG is Mazak's gear-machining series, which cuts teeth by skiving, hobbing or end milling alongside turning. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, so the table has two rows.
Both are series, and both list tool capacity as a range: 40 - 96 tools for the Chiron against 36-72 tools by base platform for the Mazak. The ranges overlap, so the figures do not decide the question, though the Chiron's range reaches higher at the top. Control is Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl on the Chiron and MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC with gear machining cycles on the Mazak.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Chiron 08 Series Mill-Turn | Mazak INTEGREX AG |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Capacity | 40 – 96 | 36-72 tools by base platform |
Advantages
Chiron 08 Series Mill-Turn
- Tool capacity range tops out at 96 tools, against 72 tools on the INTEGREX AG
- Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, for shops standardized on Siemens
- Aimed at small, precise mill-turn parts for medical, dental, watch and instrument work
Mazak INTEGREX AG
- Gear machining cycles in the MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC for skiving, hobbing and end milling
- On-machine measurement with automatic compensation for gear work
- Built on horizontal and vertical base platforms, for small through large gear blanks
Verdict
Pick by part family. A gear shop that wants to skive or hob teeth and turn the blank in one setup, with measurement and compensation on the machine, should choose the Mazak INTEGREX AG. A shop making small, precise medical, dental or instrument parts that need milling and turning together should choose the Chiron 08 Series Mill-Turn, whose tool range also reaches 96 tools. Beyond tool capacity and control, the makers publish no common figures for this pair.
