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

Overview

The Mazak SYNCREX 25/8 is a Ø1 in (25 mm) Swiss-type lathe with 33 tools and a sub spindle that is tooled almost as fully as the main. Mazak's table gives 8 back working tools, and the sub spindle has the same 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) motor and 10,000 rpm top speed as the main spindle.

That balance decides what the machine is good at. A part that needs drilling, boring, threading and turning on its second end can have all of it done after pick-off, while the main spindle starts the next piece, so the two halves of the cycle overlap instead of queueing. On the main side there are 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools and 2 end working tools. Boring bar holders are listed 4 / 4 for main and sub. Maximum turning length is 8.07 in (205 mm).

The SYNCREX 25/7 lists 29 tools on the same bar size, speed and 7,850 lb (3,561 kg) weight, and the SYNCREX 25/9 lists 36 tools. For bigger stock the SYNCREX 32/8 takes Ø1.25 in (32 mm) and turns 12.59 in (320 mm) with 36 tools, at 8,000 rpm and 12,200 lb (5,534 kg).

Rapid traverse is 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on each of the six listed axes. The machine stands on 48.23 in (1,225 mm) × 88.58 in (2,250 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control and is 66.93 in (1,700 mm) high. Mazak's series page describes a removable guide bushing adapter, which lets the guide bushing be preset outside the machine, and an Auto Tool Setter inside it to cut setup time.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8 back working tools and a 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) sub spindle for real second-end machining
33 tools in total, with 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools and 2 end working tools on the main side
Main and sub spindle both run to 10,000 rpm
Ø1 in (25 mm) bar at 7,850 lb (3,561 kg), against 12,200 lb (5,534 kg) for the SYNCREX 32/8
Series features per Mazak: removable guide bushing adapter and an in-machine Auto Tool Setter

Limitations

No B-axis tool row in the table: the positions are OD, cross live, end working, back working and boring bar
Maximum turning length of 8.07 in (205 mm), where the SYNCREX 32/8 turns 12.59 in (320 mm)
Only 4 cross live tools, so parts with many milled or cross-drilled features run out of driven positions
Spindle power is quoted at 40% ED, 5.5 kW (8 HP), without a continuous rating

Best For

Parts with as much work on the second end as on the first Bar work up to Ø1 in (25 mm) with overlapping main and sub operations Medium-complexity turned parts that fill 33 tool positions Short parts within 8.07 in (205 mm) run at up to 10,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What tooling does the sub spindle of the SYNCREX 25/8 have?

Mazak lists 8 back working tools, and the boring bar holders are listed 4 / 4 for main and sub. The sub spindle itself matches the main spindle at 10,000 rpm and 5.5 kW (8 HP) at 40% ED, so back-end cuts are not limited by a weaker motor.

02 How many tools does the SYNCREX 25/8 hold in total?

33 tools. The rows are 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 2 end working tools, 8 back working tools and boring bar holders at 4 / 4 for main and sub. The SYNCREX 25/7 lists 29 tools and the SYNCREX 25/9 lists 36 tools.

03 What is the largest bar and longest part it can turn?

Maximum turning diameter is Ø1 in (25 mm) and maximum turning length is 8.07 in (205 mm). Mazak states that SYNCREX machines run full bar capacity with no special bar end prep. The SYNCREX 32/8 is the step up, at Ø1.25 in (32 mm) and 12.59 in (320 mm).

04 How fast are the axes?

Mazak lists a rapid traverse of 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) for X, Y and Z and the same for the X2, Y2 and Z2 axes. The table has no rows for axis travel, so stroke figures have to be requested from Mazak.

05 What are the installation figures?

The footprint is 48.23 in (1,225 mm) × 88.58 in (2,250 mm), width by depth, with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control. Machine height is 66.93 in (1,700 mm) and weight is 7,850 lb (3,561 kg).
