Overview

The Mazak HQR series is a family of twin-spindle, twin-turret turning centers: the HQR-100MSY, HQR-150MSY, HQR-200MSY and HQR-250MSY. Mazak lists all four with milling, a second spindle and a Y-axis, so the model number selects a size and not a feature set.

Chuck size and main spindle are what change. The HQR-100MSY has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 HP) continuous. The HQR-150MSY keeps the 6 in chuck but turns at 5,000 rpm with 11 kW (15 HP) continuous. The HQR-200MSY moves to an 8 in chuck at 5,000 rpm with 15 kW (20 HP) continuous. That leaves the top of each range, a 10 in chuck, 4,000 rpm and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous, to the HQR-250MSY. Main spindle torque across the series runs from 119.5 ft-lb (162 Nm) to 344 ft-lb (466 Nm), both at 25% ED.

The second spindle is nearly a match for the first, which is the point of the layout: chucks of 6 in to 8 in, speeds of 5,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 HP) to 15 kW (20 HP) continuous. The upper and lower turrets are arranged in a straight line in the X direction. They can cut one part together in a balanced cut that limits workpiece deflection, or work on the main and second spindles at the same moment. Each turret has 12 tool positions with a 1 in (25 mm) shank height. Rotary tools turn at 6,000 rpm with 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous, 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) on a 10 min. rating and 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on a 3 min. rating.

Weight divides the series in two. The HQR-100MSY and HQR-150MSY are 20,194 lb (9,160 kg) and 20,326 lb (9,220 kg); the HQR-200MSY is 28,329 lb (12,850 kg) and the series tops out at 29,211 lb (13,250 kg). Bed length types run from 600U to 850U. Bar feeders, work loaders, workpiece unloaders and robots are options.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two spindles and two turrets on every model, for balanced cutting on one part or two parts machined at once
All four models are listed with milling, a second spindle and a Y-axis
Four sizes, from a 6 in chuck at 6,000 rpm on the HQR-100MSY to a 10 in chuck at 4,000 rpm
Second spindle of up to 15 kW (20 HP) continuous with an 8 in chuck, close to the main spindle in capacity
MAZATROL conversational programming with a balance cut selection in the turning unit; EIA/ISO programs can also be used
Rotary tools at 6,000 rpm on turrets with 12 tool positions

Limitations

Rotary tool power is 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous and 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on a 3 min. rating, enough for light milling and drilling only
Each turret holds 12 tools on a 1 in (25 mm) shank height, so long jobs with many tools need planning
Bar feeders, work loaders, workpiece unloaders and robots are options
The second spindle chuck stops at 8 in, below the 10 in main chuck at the top of the series
Main spindle speed falls as the chuck grows, to 4,000 rpm at the top of the range

Best For

Bar-fed parts finished on both ends in one cycle using the second spindle Shaft work turned with balanced upper and lower turret cuts Two-operation chuck work in 6 in to 10 in chuck sizes Turned parts with light cross-drilling and milling at up to 6,000 rpm Automated cells with optional work loaders, unloaders or robots

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What do the four HQR models have in common?

All four are 2-turret, 2-spindle machines that Mazak lists with milling, a second spindle and a Y-axis. Each turret has 12 tool positions with a 1 in (25 mm) shank height, and the rotary tool spindle runs at 6,000 rpm with 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous. The upper and lower turrets are arranged in a straight line in the X direction and can be synchronized.

02 How do the HQR-100MSY, HQR-150MSY and HQR-200MSY differ?

The HQR-100MSY has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 HP) continuous, and weighs 20,194 lb (9,160 kg). The HQR-150MSY has the same 6 in chuck with 5,000 rpm and 11 kW (15 HP) continuous at 20,326 lb (9,220 kg). The HQR-200MSY has an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous and is a much heavier machine at 28,329 lb (12,850 kg). The series continues to a 10 in chuck, 4,000 rpm and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous.

03 What is balanced cutting on the HQR?

The upper and lower turrets cut the same workpiece at the same time from opposite sides, which keeps the part from being pushed off line. Mazak lists balanced turning on the main spindle and balanced milling on the second spindle, as well as simultaneous machining of two workpieces. In the MAZATROL program a balance cut is made by selecting it in the turning program unit, and the lower turret is assigned by marking the tool.

04 How capable is the milling on the HQR series?

The rotary tool spindle runs at 6,000 rpm. Its motor is rated 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous and 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) on a 10 min. rating, and maximum torque is 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on a 3 min. rating. That suits drilling, tapping and light milling on turned parts. Every model has a Y-axis, so off-centre features can be machined.

05 How does the HQR-200MSY compare with the HQR-200 NEO?

On the headline figures the two match: the HQR-200MSY and the HQR-200 NEO both have an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous. The HQR-200 NEO is the heavier machine, at 34,832 lb (15,800 kg) against 28,329 lb (12,850 kg) for the HQR-200MSY.
