How much does the Mazak Dual Turn 200 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak Dual Turn 200 is a twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with an 8 in chuck on each side, built to take a part through OP1 and OP2 in one machine. Mazak describes the structure as symmetrical: two spindles and two turrets of the same machining capacity sit on either side, and both spindles run to 5,000 rpm. Mazak's model list gives the configuration simply as Second Spindle, and the table has no milling-spindle or Y-axis rows, so read it as a turning machine.
Both spindles are rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. The short-term figure is 15 kW (20 HP) on both, though Mazak states it differently for each side: at 40% ED for the main spindle and as a 30 min. rating for the second. Travel is 9 in (229 mm) in X and 20 in (508 mm) in Z, and tool capacity is 24 tools. Those are short strokes, in keeping with chucked parts sized for an 8 in chuck and not with long shafts.
The point of the layout is the transfer. Mazak describes an automatic transfer from the first to the second spindle so that OP1 and OP2 run continuously from a single chucking, which removes the in-process stock that would otherwise sit between two lathes. An automatic partition separates the two machining areas, so the left and right sides can also be run separately, or one part can be changed while the other side is cutting.
Floor space is the other argument. Mazak puts the saving at 30% against two 2-axis CNC turning centers of the same class from its own range. The machine measures 3,420 mm (134.6 in) × 1,795 mm (70.7 in) with the MAZATROL SmoothC control, stands 2,090 mm (82.3 in) high and weighs 6,800 lb (3,084 kg).
Automation is described at three levels: a basic workpiece unloading device that puts finished parts on a receiving table, a bar feeder with an unloading hand, and the GL-100 gantry loader, for which Mazak quotes 20.7 sec of in-machine loading time against 25.1 sec for its previous gantry loader.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Two spindles with 8 in chucks, both running to 5,000 rpm and both rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous
- Automatic transfer from the first to the second spindle lets OP1 and OP2 run from a single chucking
- An automatic partition separates the two machining areas so each side can run independently
- Mazak states a 30% floor space reduction against two of its 2-axis CNC turning centers of the same class
- Mazak's basic system includes a workpiece unloading device that delivers finished parts to a receiving table
Limitations
- X travel is 9 in (229 mm) and Z travel 20 in (508 mm), which keeps the machine to short chucked parts
- Mazak's model list shows only Second Spindle for this model, and the table has no milling or Y-axis rows
- Continuous power is 11 kW (15 HP) per spindle, so heavy roughing near the full 8 in chuck size will be power-limited
- The table gives no maximum turning diameter, turning length or bar capacity; check those with Mazak against your part

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Two of each. Mazak describes a symmetrical 2-spindle / 2-turret structure in which both sides have the same machining capacity. Each spindle carries an 8 in chuck, runs to 5,000 rpm and is rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. Tool capacity is given as 24 tools.
02
Mazak's model list gives the configuration of this model as Second Spindle only, and the specification table has no milling spindle or Y-axis rows. On the published information it is a turning machine. If the part needs cross-holes or flats, ask Mazak before assuming the machine can do them.
03
Each spindle is rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. The short-term rating is 15 kW (20 HP) on both spindles. Mazak's table gives it at 40% ED for the main spindle and as a 30 min. rating for the second spindle, so the two short-term figures are not stated on the same basis.
04
The machine is 3,420 mm (134.6 in) × 1,795 mm (70.7 in) with the MAZATROL SmoothC control, 2,090 mm (82.3 in) high, and weighs 6,800 lb (3,084 kg). Mazak states that this is 30% less floor space than two of its 2-axis CNC turning centers of the same class, before counting the gap between machines and the chip conveyors.
05
Mazak describes three systems. The basic system has a workpiece unloading device that puts finished parts on a receiving table. A bar feeder can be paired with an unloading hand. The GL-100 gantry loader loads material and unloads finished parts for chuck and shaft workpieces, and Mazak quotes 20.7 sec of loading time inside the machine against 25.1 sec for its previous gantry loader.
