Overview

The Mazak HQR-200 NEO, which Mazak's model list writes as HQR-200/3 NEO, belongs to the HQR NEO series that Mazak describes as a 3 turret / 2 spindle construction. Both spindles carry an 8 in chuck, run to 5,000 rpm and are rated 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, with 22 kW (30 HP) on the 30 min. rating. The listed configuration is Milling, Second Spindle, Y-axis.

Those spindle figures are the same headline numbers as the HQR-200MSY. What changes is the machine around them. The HQR-200 NEO weighs 34,832 lb (15,800 kg), where the HQR-200MSY weighs 28,329 lb (12,850 kg). The reason to buy it is the extra turret: more tools in the cut at once, and shorter cycles on parts with enough operations to keep three turrets busy.

Mazak's table gives travels as upper turret / lower turret pairs. X is 8 in (203 mm) for both, with X rapids of 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) for both. Z is 24 in (610 mm) on the upper and 32 in (813 mm) on the lower, and Y is 4 in (102 mm), ±2 in (51 mm), on each. The table does not break the figures out further, so ask Mazak how the three turrets map onto those rows. Turret capacity is given as 12 tools.

Running three turrets is mostly a programming and collision problem, and that is where the series description spends its words. Mazak names the CNC as MAZATROL SmoothG 3 with a dedicated 3 turret screen split into three columns, interference checks for the turret movements, and an inter-grid single block mode in which all turrets stop together when one finishes a process. The footprint is 138 in (3,505 mm) × 109 in (2,769 mm) and the height 100 in (2,540 mm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Three-turret, two-spindle construction, as Mazak describes the HQR NEO series
Matched spindles: 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous on each
Main spindle torque of 344 ft-lb (466 Nm) at 25% ED
X travel of 8 in (203 mm) and X rapids of 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) on both the upper and the lower turret
Series control is MAZATROL SmoothG 3 with a dedicated 3 turret display and interference check functions

Limitations

Upper turret Z travel is 24 in (610 mm), shorter than the 32 in (813 mm) of the lower turret
At 34,832 lb (15,800 kg) it is much heavier than the HQR-200MSY at 28,329 lb (12,850 kg), which matters for floor and rigging
Rotary tools are rated 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous, with 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on the 3 min. rating
The Ø4.02 in bar work capacity Mazak quotes for the series is an option, not the base machine
Program checks are harder on 3-turret machines, as Mazak itself notes

Best For

High-volume parts with enough operations to occupy three turrets Parts finished on both ends across two 8 in chucks Bar work with a bar feeder and workpiece unloader, both optional in the series Shops prepared to program and prove out synchronized multi-turret cycles

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many turrets does the HQR-200 NEO have?

Mazak describes the HQR NEO series, to which this model belongs, as a 3 turret / 2 spindle construction, and its model list names the machine HQR-200/3 NEO. The specification table gives travels and rapids as upper turret / lower turret pairs and a turret capacity of 12 tools, so confirm with Mazak how the third turret's travels compare.

02 How does the HQR-200 NEO differ from the HQR-200MSY?

The spindle headline figures are shared: an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous. The HQR-200 NEO comes from the three-turret HQR NEO series and weighs 34,832 lb (15,800 kg); the HQR-200MSY weighs 28,329 lb (12,850 kg). The NEO is the choice when cycle time justifies a third turret.

03 What are the spindle ratings of the HQR-200 NEO?

Main and second spindle are the same: 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 HP) continuous and 22 kW (30 HP) on the 30 min. rating. Mazak gives a maximum main spindle torque of 344 ft-lb (466 Nm) at 25% ED. Rotary tools run to 6,000 rpm on 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous.

04 What control does the HQR-200 NEO use?

Mazak names MAZATROL SmoothG 3 as the CNC system of the HQR NEO series, and the footprint row of this model's table refers to MAZATROL SmoothG. For the series Mazak describes a dedicated 3 turret display divided into three columns, interference check functions, Virtual Machining simulation and a Safety Shield that checks a 3D model for interference when axes are moved manually during setup.

05 What bar capacity does the HQR-200 NEO have?

The table for this model gives no bar capacity. For the HQR NEO series Mazak quotes bar work capacity up to Ø4.02 in as an option and says both the main and the second spindle have large spindle bores. Bar feeders, workpiece unloaders and robots are optionally available in the series, so ask Mazak for the figure that applies to this model.
