How much does the Mazak HQR-200MSY 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
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
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
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
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
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.
