Machine Comparison
DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 vs Mazak SYNCREX
DMG Mori vs Yamazaki Mazak · Swiss-Type Lathes
Summary
The DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 is a single Swiss-type lathe for small turned parts from bar, with a main and a counter spindle for front and back machining. The Mazak SYNCREX is a Swiss-type family across several bar sizes, so its figures are ranges across models. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: spindle speeds and tool capacity only.
The DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 runs both spindles to 10,000 rpm. That sits inside the SYNCREX ranges of 8,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm for the main spindle and 8,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm for the sub spindle, so which machine is faster depends on the SYNCREX model chosen. Tool capacity is the clear difference: a total of 23 tool stations on the DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 against 24 tools to 39 tools on the SYNCREX.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 | Mazak SYNCREX |
|---|---|---|
| Max Spindle Speed | 10,000 rpm (main spindle) | 8,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm |
| Sub-Spindle Speed | 10,000 rpm (counter spindle) | 8,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm |
| Tool Capacity | Total of 23 tool stations | 24 tools to 39 tools |
Advantages
DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5
- Main and counter spindle both rated at 10,000 rpm in one defined model
- Aimed squarely at small turned parts with light cross drilling and milling
Mazak SYNCREX
- 24 tools to 39 tools against a total of 23 tool stations
- Main spindle speeds up to 15,000 rpm on the faster models
- One Swiss-type family across several bar sizes
Verdict
For small turned parts that need light cross work and front and back machining, the DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5 is a single defined machine with both spindles at 10,000 rpm. For more tooling, or for one Swiss-type family across several bar sizes, the Mazak SYNCREX offers 24 tools to 39 tools and main spindles up to 15,000 rpm depending on model. Pick the SYNCREX size first; only then can its own figures be set against the DMG Mori SPRINT 20|5.
