Overview
The Mazak MULTIPLEX W-300 is the larger of the two chuck sizes in the twin-spindle MULTIPLEX W series: 10 in chucks on both spindles, Ø17 in (432 mm) of turning diameter, 9 in (229 mm) of turning length and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous on each side.
Set against the MULTIPLEX W-200, the gain is cutting capacity and the loss is speed. The MULTIPLEX W-200 has 8 in chucks, turns Ø13 in (330 mm) by 7 in (178 mm) and offers 15 kW (20 HP) continuous, but it spins to 5,000 rpm and rapids at 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) in X and 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) in Z. Here the spindles stop at 4,000 rpm, and the rapids are 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) in X and 1,102 ipm (28 m/min) in Z. Weight rises from the 24,471 lb (11,100 kg) of the MULTIPLEX W-200 to 29,541 lb (13,400 kg).
Each spindle has a 26 kW (35 HP) (40% ED) rating above its continuous figure, and main-spindle torque is 596 ft-lb (808 Nm) at a 15%ED rating. Because the second spindle has the same chuck, speed and power as the first, heavy roughing does not have to be loaded onto one operation. X travel is 12 in (305 mm) and Z travel is 24 in (610 mm).
The table also lists a rotary-tool spindle: 5,000 rpm, 3.7 kW (5 HP) continuous, and 7.5 kW (10 HP) with 70.4 ft-lb (95 Nm) of torque at a 25%ED rating. Together with the 360° C-axis, which rapids at 555 rpm, it handles on-centre drilling and C-axis contour milling. There is no Y travel on this model; the MULTIPLEX W-300Y adds ±3 in (76 mm).
Allow 168 in (4,267 mm) × 94 in (2,388 mm) of floor with the MAZATROL SmoothG control and 85 in (2,159 mm) of height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 22 kW (30 HP) continuous and 26 kW (35 HP) (40% ED) on both spindles, against 15 kW (20 HP) continuous on the MULTIPLEX W-200
- 596 ft-lb (808 Nm) of main-spindle torque at a 15%ED rating for roughing larger diameters
- 10 in chucks on both sides, turning up to Ø17 in (432 mm) by 9 in (229 mm)
- Rotary-tool spindle with 70.4 ft-lb (95 Nm) and 7.5 kW (10 HP) at a 25%ED rating, plus a 360° C-axis
- 24 in (610 mm) of Z travel and 12 in (305 mm) of X travel
Limitations
- Spindles stop at 4,000 rpm, where the MULTIPLEX W-200 reaches 5,000 rpm
- Z rapid is 1,102 ipm (28 m/min), against 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) on the MULTIPLEX W-200
- No Y-axis; off-centre milling needs the MULTIPLEX W-300Y and its ±3 in (76 mm) of Y
- Turning length is limited to 9 in (229 mm)
- Needs 168 in (4,267 mm) × 94 in (2,388 mm) of floor and weighs 29,541 lb (13,400 kg)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to Ø17 in (432 mm) in diameter and 9 in (229 mm) in turning length, held in 10 in chucks on both spindles. X travel is 12 in (305 mm) and Z travel is 24 in (610 mm). The short turning length marks it as a machine for discs, flanges and similar chucked parts.
02
Both spindles are rated 22 kW (30 HP) continuous and 26 kW (35 HP) at 40% ED, with a top speed of 4,000 rpm. The table gives main-spindle torque as 596 ft-lb (808 Nm) at 15%ED. That torque is a short-duty figure, so long roughing cuts are better planned on the continuous power rating.
03
Yes. The MULTIPLEX W-200 runs to 5,000 rpm and rapids at 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) in X and 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) in Z. This model runs to 4,000 rpm and rapids at 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) in X and 1,102 ipm (28 m/min) in Z. In exchange it has larger chucks and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous instead of the 15 kW (20 HP) of the MULTIPLEX W-200.
04
The rotary-tool spindle runs to 5,000 rpm and is rated 3.7 kW (5 HP) continuous, with 7.5 kW (10 HP) and 70.4 ft-lb (95 Nm) at 25%ED. The C-axis has a 360° range. Without Y travel, milling is done on the centreline or by moving C with X; the MULTIPLEX W-300Y is the model with ±3 in (76 mm) of Y.
05
It weighs 29,541 lb (13,400 kg). The footprint Mazak quotes with MAZATROL SmoothG is 168 in (4,267 mm) × 94 in (2,388 mm) and the height is 85 in (2,159 mm). The series page describes an unloading device and a gantry loader system, so ask for the dimensions including whichever automation is quoted.
