Mazak Dual Turn 200 vs Mazak HQR
Yamazaki Mazak vs Yamazaki Mazak · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Mazak Dual Turn 200 and the Mazak HQR are both Mazak two-spindle turning centers, but the Mazak HQR entry covers a series, so its figures are spans. The Mazak Dual Turn 200 turns both ends of chucked parts, or runs two jobs at once, on partitioned sides; the HQR series uses upper and lower turrets for balanced cuts on bar-fed and shaft work.
The HQR series spans 4,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm on the main spindle against 5,000 rpm, 7.5 kW (10 HP) continuous to 22 kW (30 HP) continuous against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous, and 6 in to 10 in chucks against 8 in. Its sub spindle runs from 5,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm, matching or exceeding the Dual Turn's 5,000 rpm. The HQR series is far heavier, at 20,194 lb (9,160 kg) to 29,211 lb (13,250 kg) against 6,800 lb (3,084 kg).

Advantages
Mazak Dual Turn 200
- Partitioned left and right sides that can run two different jobs at once
- Lighter machine at 6,800 lb (3,084 kg), against 20,194 lb (9,160 kg) or more for the HQR series
Mazak HQR
- Upper and lower turrets for balanced cuts on shaft work
- Sub spindle speeds of 5,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm across the series, never below 5,000 rpm
- Chucks from 6 in to 10 in and spindle power up to 22 kW (30 HP) continuous on the larger models
Verdict
Choose the Mazak Dual Turn 200 for volume production of chucked parts that need OP1 and OP2 on one machine, or two different jobs at once, on an 8 in chuck. Choose the Mazak HQR series for bar-fed and shaft work finished on both ends in one cycle, where upper and lower turrets can cut together, and pick the model by chuck size, from 6 in to 10 in, and by power, up to 22 kW (30 HP) continuous.
