Overview

The Mazak SYNCREX 20/7 is a Swiss-type lathe for bar up to Ø0.75 in (19 mm), with a maximum turning length of 8.07 in (205 mm) and a main and a sub spindle that both run to 10,000 rpm. Mazak's series page places it in the Ø20 mm to Ø25 mm group. Its tool list totals 29, the shortest of the models at this bar size.

Each spindle motor is rated 3.7 kW (5 HP) at 40% ED. That is the only rating in the table, so there is no continuous figure to plan long, heavy cuts around. At this diameter the speed matters more than the power: small stock needs rpm to reach a sensible surface speed, and with 10,000 rpm on both sides the back-end operations run at the same cutting data as the front. Of the 29 tools, 4 are cross live tools and 2 are end working tools, and the boring bar holders are listed 4 / 4 for main and sub.

Within the 20 size the choice is about tool positions, because bar diameter, turning length, spindle speed and the 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) weight do not change. The SYNCREX 20/8 lists 33 tools and the SYNCREX 20/9 lists 36 tools. If the part needs more bar and not more tools, the SYNCREX 25/7 takes Ø1 in (25 mm) with the same 29 tools.

Rapid traverse is 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on X, Y and Z and on the X2, Y2 and Z2 axes. The machine occupies 48.23 in (1,225 mm) by 88.58 in (2,250 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control and stands 66.93 in (1,700 mm) high. For the SYNCREX series Mazak describes an HDCC machine base cast in one piece, a removable guide bushing adapter that lets the bushing be preset outside the machine, and an Auto Tool Setter in the machine.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main and sub spindle both reach 10,000 rpm, each with a 3.7 kW (5 HP) (40% ED) motor
29 tools including 4 cross live tools and 2 end working tools, with boring bar holders listed 4 / 4 for main and sub
1,378 ipm (35 m/min) rapid traverse on all six listed axes: X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2
Takes 48.23 in (1,225 mm) × 88.58 in (2,250 mm) of floor and weighs 7,850 lb (3,561 kg)
Series features per Mazak: one-piece HDCC base, removable guide bushing adapter and an in-machine Auto Tool Setter

Limitations

Bar capacity stops at Ø0.75 in (19 mm); the SYNCREX 25/7 takes Ø1 in (25 mm) at the same 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) weight
29 tools is the lowest count at this bar size: the SYNCREX 20/8 lists 33 tools and the SYNCREX 20/9 lists 36 tools
Spindle power is given only as 3.7 kW (5 HP) at 40% ED; the table has no continuous rating
Maximum turning length is 8.07 in (205 mm), so longer parts are outside the listed range

Best For

Small turned parts from bar up to Ø0.75 in (19 mm) Parts finished on the sub spindle, which matches the main at 10,000 rpm Jobs with light cross work that 4 cross live tools can cover Shops fitting a twin-spindle Swiss machine into 48.23 in (1,225 mm) of width

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What bar size does the SYNCREX 20/7 take?

The table lists a maximum turning diameter of Ø0.75 in (19 mm) and a maximum turning length of 8.07 in (205 mm). Mazak's series page groups the model with the Ø20 mm to Ø25 mm machines. For larger stock the SYNCREX 25/7 takes Ø1 in (25 mm) with the same turning length.

02 How many tools does the SYNCREX 20/7 hold?

29 tools. Among them the table lists 4 cross live tools, 2 end working tools and boring bar holders as 4 / 4 for main and sub. The SYNCREX 20/8 lists 33 tools and the SYNCREX 20/9 lists 36 tools, on the same bar size and spindle speed.

03 How powerful are the spindles?

The main spindle and the sub spindle are each rated 3.7 kW (5 HP) at 40% ED, and each runs to 10,000 rpm. Mazak's table gives no continuous rating for either, so treat the figure as an intermittent rating when planning long cuts in tough material.

04 How much floor space does the SYNCREX 20/7 need?

The machine is 48.23 in (1,225 mm) wide and 88.58 in (2,250 mm) deep with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control, 66.93 in (1,700 mm) high, and weighs 7,850 lb (3,561 kg). The row does not mention a bar feeder, so allow for its length and for room to load bar stock separately.

05 What does Mazak say about the SYNCREX machine base?

For the SYNCREX series Mazak describes an HDCC machine base made as a solid one-piece casting. Its series page states that the base is 10% more rigid than cast iron, gives 80% less vibration at the cutting point and 30% longer tool life, with less thermal distortion. These are Mazak's statements for the series, not measurements for this model.
