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 QUICK TURN 250MS is a two-spindle turning center with a 10 in main chuck and a 6 in second spindle, configured on Mazak's model list as milling, second spindle, VDI. Among the machines around it, the second spindle is the notable figure: 11 kW (15 HP) on the 30 min. rating, where the QUICK TURN 200MS lists 8 kW (10 HP) on the same basis.

That extra second-spindle power changes how the work can be divided. With 11 kW (15 HP) behind a 6 in chuck at up to 6,000 rpm, the second side can take real turning and boring cuts and need not be kept to a finishing pass. The main spindle is rated 26 kW (35 HP) on the 30 min. rating and limited to 4,000 rpm, which suits the larger diameters a 10 in chuck is bought for.

Turning capacity is Ø15 in (381 mm) by 21 in (533 mm) under a Ø27 in (686 mm) swing, with Ø3 in (76 mm) bar capacity. X travel is 9 in (229 mm) and Z travel 23 in (584 mm), and Mazak lists the bed length class as 20 in (508 mm). The Quick Turn 250M, the single-spindle version, lists 22 in (559 mm) of Z and 20 in (508 mm) of turning length.

The configuration shows no Y-axis, and the table has no rotary-tool speed or power rows. For unattended running Mazak offers the Ez LOADER, a collaborative-robot system for the series that is set up with its own software in place of robot teaching.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Second spindle rated 11 kW (15 HP) on the 30 min. rating, against 8 kW (10 HP) on the QUICK TURN 200MS
10 in main chuck and 6 in second-spindle chuck for two-sided machining in one cycle
Second spindle runs to 6,000 rpm while the main spindle handles large diameters at up to 4,000 rpm
23 in (584 mm) of Z travel and Ø15 in (381 mm) maximum turning diameter
Main spindle rated 26 kW (35 HP) on the 30 min. rating

Limitations

No Y-axis in the configuration: milled features are limited to the spindle centreline
Main spindle top speed of 4,000 rpm, where the 8 in chuck QUICK TURN 200MS reaches 5,000 rpm
Second-spindle chuck is 6 in against 10 in on the main, so the handover diameter is restricted
No rotary-tool speed, power or torque on the model's table

Best For

Larger chucking parts finished on both sides in one cycle Second operations with real stock removal, using 11 kW (15 HP) at the 30 min. rating Flanged parts gripped in a 10 in chuck and transferred on a smaller diameter Bar work up to Ø3 in (76 mm) with back-face turning

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the QUICK TURN 250MS differ from the QUICK TURN 200MS?

The QUICK TURN 250MS has a 10 in main chuck, a 4,000 rpm main spindle and a second spindle rated 11 kW (15 HP) on the 30 min. rating. The QUICK TURN 200MS has an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm and 8 kW (10 HP) on the same rating. On the QUICK TURN 200MS the second-spindle chuck is also 6 in, the second spindle also runs to 6,000 rpm and Z travel is also 23 in (584 mm).

02 What can the second spindle handle?

It has a 6 in chuck, a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm and 11 kW (15 HP) on the 30 min. rating. Mazak states that second spindles in the series are built-in motor spindles for turning and milling, with C-axis indexing in 0.0001° minimum increments as standard and contouring optional.

03 Is there a Y-axis on the QUICK TURN 250MS?

No. The configuration on Mazak's model list is Milling, Second Spindle, VDI. Among the neighbouring models, the Quick Turn 200MSY combines a second spindle with 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel, on an 8 in chuck.

04 What are the capacity figures?

Maximum turning diameter Ø15 in (381 mm), maximum turning length 21 in (533 mm), swing Ø27 in (686 mm) and bar capacity Ø3 in (76 mm). Travels are 9 in (229 mm) in X and 23 in (584 mm) in Z, and the turret holds 12 tools.

05 Can the QUICK TURN 250MS be automated?

Mazak describes Ez LOADER for the Quick Turn series: a space-saving system built around collaborative robots, with specialised software that removes robot teaching tasks. It is described at series level, so check its fit with the 250MS and with your part weight with Mazak.
