Mazak Orbitec 20 vs Mazak Power Master
Yamazaki Mazak vs Yamazaki Mazak · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Mazak Orbitec 20 and the Mazak Power Master are different-size machines for different jobs. The Orbitec 20 machines large components fixtured on a pallet, with 11 in (279 mm) of X travel and a 60-tool magazine. The Power Master series is a heavy-duty lathe for large-diameter chuck work and long shafts, with 25 in (635 mm) to 26 in (660 mm) of X travel.
The Power Master turns at 1,200 rpm against 600 rpm, and its Z travel runs from 45 in (1,143 mm) to 121 in (3,073 mm), so the longer models reach well past the Orbitec's 48 in (1,219 mm). The Orbitec 20 carries 60 tools against the Power Master's 8 tools, which suits parts with many features in one setup.
