Machine Comparison
Mazak Dual Turn 200 vs Spinner TC600
Yamazaki Mazak vs Spinner · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Mazak Dual Turn 200 and the Spinner TC600 are both CNC turning centers, built around different ideas. The Mazak Dual Turn 200 puts two partitioned turning sides in one machine, so a chucked part can be turned on both ends, OP1 and OP2, without leaving it. The Spinner TC600 is a turning center with longer travels, offered with a CNC-controlled tailstock, an optional Y axis or a sub-spindle.
On travel the Spinner leads: 275 mm in X against 9 in (229 mm), and 700 mm in Z against 20 in (508 mm). Top spindle speed is shared, with 5,000 rpm on the Mazak and 3,400 - 5,000 rpm listed for the Spinner. Tool positions are counted differently, 24 tools on the Mazak and up to 16 tool stations on the Spinner, so that row shows no winner.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Mazak Dual Turn 200 | Spinner TC600 |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 9 in (229 mm) | 275 mm ▲ |
| Z-Axis Travel | 20 in (508 mm) | 700 mm ▲ |
| Max Spindle Speed | 5,000 rpm | 3,400 - 5,000 rpm |
| Tool Capacity | 24 tools | up to 16 tool stations |
Advantages
Mazak Dual Turn 200
- Turns both ends of a chucked part, OP1 and OP2, in one machine
- Can run two different jobs at once on its partitioned left and right sides
- Suits volume production where two lathes would otherwise stand side by side
Spinner TC600
- 700 mm of Z travel against 20 in (508 mm)
- 275 mm of X travel against 9 in (229 mm)
- Suits shafts on the CNC-controlled tailstock and off-center features with the optional Y axis
Verdict
Choose the Mazak Dual Turn 200 for volume production of chucked parts that need both ends turned, where one machine with two partitioned sides takes the place of two lathes side by side. Choose the Spinner TC600 for longer or larger turned parts: it has 700 mm of Z travel against 20 in (508 mm) and 275 mm of X against 9 in (229 mm), and it suits shafts on the tailstock or bar-fed work. Both reach 5,000 rpm.
