Hardinge Conquest T42SP vs Mazak Dual Turn 200
Hardinge vs Yamazaki Mazak · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Hardinge Conquest T42SP and the Mazak Dual Turn 200 are both CNC turning centers with a second spindle, but they aim at different work. The Hardinge Conquest T42SP is a precision lathe for small medical, aerospace and instrument parts; the Mazak Dual Turn 200 is a production machine that turns both ends of chucked parts, or runs two jobs at once, on partitioned left and right sides.
The Hardinge Conquest T42SP spins faster, 6,000 RPM on both spindles against 5,000 rpm, and its spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. The Mazak Dual Turn 200 has the larger working range, with 9 in (229 mm) of X travel and 20 in (508 mm) of Z against 165 mm (6.5 in) and 305 mm (12 in), and it carries 24 tools against 12.

Advantages
Hardinge Conquest T42SP
- 6,000 RPM main spindle and sub-spindle against 5,000 rpm
- 15 kW (20 hp) spindle against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous
Mazak Dual Turn 200
- 24 tools against 12
- 20 in (508 mm) Z-axis travel against 305 mm (12 in)
- 9 in (229 mm) X-axis travel against 165 mm (6.5 in)
Verdict
Choose the Hardinge Conquest T42SP for small, tight-tolerance parts in medical, aerospace, defense and instrument work, where 6,000 RPM spindles and a 15 kW (20 hp) drive suit short precision cycles. Choose the Mazak Dual Turn 200 for volume production of chucked parts that need both ends turned on one machine, where 24 tools and 20 in (508 mm) of Z travel leave room for longer parts and more operations.
