Overview

The Mazak HQR-200MSY is the 8 in member of the HQR series: two matched spindles, each with an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, served by an upper and a lower turret of 12 tools each. Mazak lists it as Milling, Second Spindle, Y-axis. Because both spindles carry the same rating, either end of a part can take the heavy operation.

Main spindle torque peaks at 344 ft-lb (466 Nm) at 25% ED, and both spindles give 22 kW (30 HP) on the 30 min. rating. That is a clear step above the 6 in models: the HQR-150MSY, the stronger of those two, is rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous and weighs 20,326 lb (9,220 kg), while the HQR-200MSY weighs 28,329 lb (12,850 kg). Above it sits the HQR-250MSY with a 10 in chuck, 4,000 rpm and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous.

The 850U bed class shows in the Z figures: 30 in (762 mm) for the upper turret and 32 in (813 mm) for the lower. X travel is 8 in (203 mm) above and 6 in (152 mm) below, and each turret has a 4 in (102 mm) Y-axis, ±2 in (51 mm). Boring bars go up to Ø2 in (51 mm) shank, with 1 in (25 mm) shank height for turning tools. Z rapids are 1,417 ipm (36 m/min) on both turrets.

Milling capability is light next to the turning spindles: 6,000 rpm, 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous, 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) on the 10 min. rating and 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on the 3 min. rating. On an 8 in machine that mismatch is worth knowing. The spindles can rough steel; the rotary tools are for drilling, tapping and finishing cuts.

Allow 138 in (3,505 mm) × 104 in (2,642 mm) of floor with the MAZATROL SmoothG control and 98 in (2,489 mm) of height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 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
Z travel of 30 in (762 mm) on the upper turret and 32 in (813 mm) on the lower
Turrets accept boring bars up to Ø2 in (51 mm) shank
Both turrets have a Y-axis of 4 in (102 mm), ±2 in (51 mm)

Limitations

Rotary tools are rated 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous, small beside 15 kW (20 HP) continuous turning spindles
Lower turret X travel is 6 in (152 mm) against the upper turret's 8 in (203 mm)
At 28,329 lb (12,850 kg) it is far heavier than the HQR-150MSY at 20,326 lb (9,220 kg)
Bar feeders, work loaders and robots are options in the HQR series

Best For

Parts for an 8 in chuck that need equal cutting power on both ends Longer work that uses the 30 in (762 mm) and 32 in (813 mm) Z travels Balance cutting with both turrets on the main spindle, as Mazak describes for the series Two workpieces machined at once, one at each spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Both have 8 in chucks, 5,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous. The clearest difference in the headline figures is mass: the HQR-200MSY weighs 28,329 lb (12,850 kg) and the HQR-200 NEO 34,832 lb (15,800 kg). The HQR-200MSY has an upper and a lower turret, each holding 12 tools.

02 What is the difference between the HQR-200MSY and the HQR-250MSY?

The HQR-250MSY has a 10 in chuck, a 4,000 rpm limit and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous, and weighs 29,211 lb (13,250 kg). The HQR-200MSY has an 8 in chuck and 15 kW (20 HP) continuous on both spindles, runs to 5,000 rpm and weighs 28,329 lb (12,850 kg). Choose on chuck size and on the speed the parts need.

03 How long a part can the HQR-200MSY machine?

Mazak's table for this model does not state a maximum turning length. The working figures are the Z travels, 30 in (762 mm) for the upper turret and 32 in (813 mm) for the lower, on the 850U bed class. Usable length between the two chucks depends on the workholding, so check it against the part drawing.

04 What power do the rotary tools have?

The rotary tool spindle runs to 6,000 rpm with a motor rated 2.2 kW (3 HP) continuous and 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) on the 10 min. rating. Maximum torque is 26 ft-lb (35 Nm) on the 3 min. rating. Plan milling work as drilling, tapping and light cuts.

05 How is the HQR-200MSY programmed?

Mazak describes conversational MAZATROL programming for the HQR series, in which the lower turret is called by adding a lower turret mark to the tool and balance cutting is selected on the turning program unit. Programs can also be written in EIA/ISO. The footprint row of the table names the MAZATROL SmoothG control.
