Advantages
Mazak Dual Turn 200
- 5,000 rpm max spindle speed against 2,200 RPM
- Turns both ends of chucked parts, or two jobs at once, on partitioned sides
Mazak Turning Center
- 2,100 mm - 3,150 mm (82.7 in - 124 in) Z-axis travel against 20 in (508 mm)
- 30 kW (40 hp) spindle against 11 kW (15 HP) continuous
- 310 mm (12.2 in) X-axis travel against 9 in (229 mm)
Verdict
These machines do not compete for the same parts. Choose the Mazak Turning Center for long, large-diameter shafts in hard-to-machine material, where 2,100 mm - 3,150 mm of Z travel, a 12″ chuck and a 30 kW (40 hp) spindle are needed. Choose the Mazak Dual Turn 200 for volume production of small chucked parts turned on both ends, where 5,000 rpm and 24 tools suit short cycles.
