Overview

The Mazak SYNCREX 32/8 pairs Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar capacity and 12.59 in (320 mm) of turning length with a 36-tool layout that includes 5 end working tools and 8 back working tools. Main and sub spindle are both rated 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) and both run to 8,000 rpm.

End working tools sit on the spindle centreline, so five of them cover a drilling sequence such as centre, pilot, drill, ream and tap without giving up a boring bar position. Boring bar holders are listed separately at 4 / 4 for main and sub. Around the outside there are 11 OD tools and 4 cross live tools. For a part with a deep or stepped bore in bar of this size, that split means the internal work does not have to be traded against turning positions.

On the sub spindle, 8 back working tools handle the second end. The SYNCREX 32/7 lists 27 tools against the 36 here, and the SYNCREX 32/9 lists 39 tools. All three share the bar size, the turning length, the 8,000 rpm spindle speed and a weight of 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). The SYNCREX 38/8 offers the same 36 tools for Ø1.5 in (38 mm) bar.

Installation figures are 52 in (1,321 mm) of width and 99.2 in (2,520 mm) of depth with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control, and 78.9 in (2,004 mm) of height. Each of the X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2 axes has a rapid traverse of 1,378 ipm (35 m/min). Mazak's series page lists an Auto Tool Setter in the machine, which is useful with this many tools to touch off.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5 end working tools on top of boring bar holders listed 4 / 4 for main and sub
8 back working tools for second-end machining on a 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) sub spindle
36 tools in total, including 11 OD tools and 4 cross live tools
Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar and 12.59 in (320 mm) of turning length
Auto Tool Setter in the machine, listed by Mazak for the SYNCREX series

Limitations

Both spindles stop at 8,000 rpm, which caps surface speed on small diameters and small drills
The tool rows contain no B-axis tools; the SYNCREX 32/9 lists 39 tools
12,200 lb (5,534 kg) and 78.9 in (2,004 mm) of height call for planned rigging and a checked route into the shop
Power is quoted at 40% ED, 5.5 kW (8 HP), and the table has no continuous rating

Best For

Parts with deep or stepped bores that use 5 end working tools Long parts up to 12.59 in (320 mm) with machining on both ends Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar work that needs more than a basic tool set Mixed turning, drilling and tapping jobs across 36 tool positions

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are end working tools, and how many does the SYNCREX 32/8 have?

The table lists 5 end working tools. These work on the end of the bar along the spindle axis, for drilling, reaming and tapping. They are separate from the boring bar holders, which are listed 4 / 4 for main and sub, and from the 8 back working tools at the sub spindle.

02 How does the SYNCREX 32/8 differ from the SYNCREX 32/7?

The SYNCREX 32/7 lists 27 tools and this model lists 36. Bar diameter, the 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length, the 8,000 rpm spindle speed, rapid traverse and the 12,200 lb (5,534 kg) weight are the same in both tables.

03 What is the full tool breakdown?

36 tools: 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 5 end working tools and 8 back working tools, plus boring bar holders listed 4 / 4 for main and sub. The table does not give a speed or power for the cross live tools.

04 Is there a larger-bar version with the same tooling?

The SYNCREX 38/8 takes Ø1.5 in (38 mm) bar and lists 36 tools, with the same 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length and 8,000 rpm spindle speed. Mazak's series page puts both models in its Ø32 mm to Ø38 mm group.

05 What should be planned for installation?

A floor area of 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm) for the machine with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control, 78.9 in (2,004 mm) of height and a weight of 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). The footprint row does not mention a bar feeder, so its length comes on top.
