Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

Mazak files the SYNCREX 20/9X under the 5-Axis group on its SYNCREX series page. In capacity it is a Ø0.75 in (19 mm) Swiss-type lathe with 8.07 in (205 mm) of turning length, two 10,000 rpm spindles and 36 tools, and its footprint row names the MAZATROL SmoothStX control.

Those two points, the 5-Axis grouping and the control, are what set it apart on paper. The SYNCREX 20/9 has the same 36 tools, bar diameter, turning length and 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) weight, so a buyer comparing them is not choosing between sizes. The question is whether the parts need what Mazak sells as 5-axis work, such as features that sit at compound angles to the bar, and that is worth settling with sample parts before ordering.

The tool rows read 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 2 end working tools, 8 back working tools, boring bar holders 4 / 4 for main and sub, and B-axis tools 3 / 3 for main and sub. Each spindle has a 3.7 kW (5 HP) (40% ED) motor. Six linear axes are listed with rapids, X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2, all at 1,378 ipm (35 m/min). Mazak's table does not give a travel or a swivel range for any axis, so the reach of the B-axis tools has to come from Mazak.

The machine measures 48.23 in (1,225 mm) × 88.58 in (2,250 mm) on the floor and 66.93 in (1,700 mm) in height. Across the SYNCREX series Mazak describes a one-piece HDCC base, a removable guide bushing adapter and an Auto Tool Setter in the machine.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Grouped by Mazak as a 5-Axis model, with B-axis tools listed 3 / 3 for main and sub
36 tools on a machine that weighs 7,850 lb (3,561 kg)
Twin 10,000 rpm spindles, each with a 3.7 kW (5 HP) (40% ED) motor
8 back working tools, so the sub spindle side carries a full set of its own
Rapids of 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2

Limitations

Headline capacity is identical to the SYNCREX 20/9, so the table alone does not show what the 5-Axis grouping adds
No axis travels or B-axis swivel range are listed, which leaves the reach of the angled tools unconfirmed
Bar size is limited to Ø0.75 in (19 mm) and turning length to 8.07 in (205 mm)
The 3.7 kW (5 HP) spindle rating is a 40% ED figure; no continuous rating is published in the table

Best For

Small bar parts with features at compound angles to the bar axis Work that Mazak's 5-Axis grouping is aimed at, on bar up to Ø0.75 in (19 mm) Parts needing angled machining at both the main and the sub spindle Complete machining of complex parts within 8.07 in (205 mm) of length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does Mazak mean by listing the SYNCREX 20/9X as 5-Axis?

On Mazak's series page the SYNCREX 20/9X sits in a model group named 5-Axis. Its table lists B-axis tools as 3 / 3 for main and sub, and its footprint row names the MAZATROL SmoothStX control. The table does not spell out which axes are counted or their ranges, so ask Mazak for the axis specification.

02 How does the SYNCREX 20/9X compare with the SYNCREX 20/9?

The SYNCREX 20/9 has the same headline figures: Ø0.75 in (19 mm) bar, 8.07 in (205 mm) turning length, 10,000 rpm, 36 tools and 7,850 lb (3,561 kg). The SYNCREX 20/9X is the one Mazak places in its 5-Axis group, and its footprint is given with the MAZATROL SmoothStX control.

03 Which control is the SYNCREX 20/9X listed with?

The footprint row of Mazak's table gives the machine's width and depth, 48.23 in (1,225 mm) × 88.58 in (2,250 mm), with the MAZATROL SmoothStX control. The table says nothing further about the control's functions.

04 What tools does the SYNCREX 20/9X carry?

36 tools in total. Mazak lists 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 2 end working tools and 8 back working tools. Boring bar holders are 4 / 4 and B-axis tools 3 / 3, each split between main and sub spindle.

05 How big and heavy is the machine?

It is 48.23 in (1,225 mm) wide, 88.58 in (2,250 mm) deep and 66.93 in (1,700 mm) high, and it weighs 7,850 lb (3,561 kg). Plan extra length for a bar feeder, which the dimension rows do not mention.
