EMAG VL 2 vs Mazak Dual Turn 200
EMAG vs Yamazaki Mazak · CNC Lathes
Summary
The EMAG VL 2 and the Mazak Dual Turn 200 are both production lathes for chucked parts, but they serve different jobs. The EMAG VL 2 is built for high-volume small parts such as gears and bearing races. The Mazak Dual Turn 200 machines both ends of a part, OP1 and OP2, or runs two jobs at once on its partitioned sides.
The EMAG VL 2 has the faster and more powerful spindle: 6,000 rpm against 5,000 rpm, and 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. Its X stroke is 650 mm (25.5 in) against 9 in (229 mm). The Mazak Dual Turn 200 has 20 in (508 mm) of Z travel against 375 mm (15 in), 24 tools against 12, and an 8 in chuck against 160 mm.

Advantages
EMAG VL 2
- 6,000 rpm spindle against 5,000 rpm
- 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) spindle power against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous
- 650 mm (25.5 in) X travel against 9 in (229 mm)
Mazak Dual Turn 200
- 24 tools against 12
- 20 in (508 mm) Z travel against 375 mm (15 in)
- Turns both ends of a part, or two different jobs at once, without a second lathe
Verdict
These lathes fit different production models. Choose the EMAG VL 2 for small chucked automotive and bearing parts made at high volume, including hard turning, where its 6,000 rpm and 18 / 14 kW (24.5 / 18.5 hp) spindle matter and units can be chained into a line. Choose the Mazak Dual Turn 200 when a part needs OP1 and OP2 done together, or when one machine should replace two lathes standing side by side, with 24 tools on hand.
