Mazak Quick Turn 200MSY vs Mazak Quick Turn 250MSY
Yamazaki Mazak vs Yamazaki Mazak · CNC Lathes / Turning Centers
Summary
The Mazak Quick Turn 200MSY and the Mazak Quick Turn 250MSY are two sizes of the same turning center with milling, Y axis and a second spindle. On paper they overlap almost completely: a Ø15 in (381 mm) turning diameter, Ø3 in (76 mm) bar capacity, 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel, a 6,000 rpm second spindle and 12 tools on both.
The difference is the main spindle. The Mazak Quick Turn 200MSY has an 8 in chuck and runs to 5,000 rpm; the Mazak Quick Turn 250MSY has a 10 in chuck and runs to 4,000 rpm. The smaller machine also turns slightly longer parts, 23 in (584 mm) against 21 in (533 mm).

Advantages
Mazak Quick Turn 200MSY
- 5,000 rpm main spindle against 4,000 rpm, for smaller diameters
- 23 in (584 mm) turning length against 21 in (533 mm)
Mazak Quick Turn 250MSY
- 10 in chuck against 8 in, for larger-diameter chucked parts
- The larger chuck costs nothing in capacity elsewhere: the same Ø3 in (76 mm) bar and 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel
Verdict
Choose by chuck size. The Mazak Quick Turn 250MSY is the machine for chucked parts that need a 10 in chuck to hold them, up to the Ø15 in (381 mm) turning limit. The Mazak Quick Turn 200MSY suits bar-fed and smaller chucked work, where 5,000 rpm against 4,000 rpm raises surface speed on small diameters and the 23 in turning length takes a slightly longer shaft. For bar work up to Ø3 in the two are level.
