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 32/9 is a Swiss-type lathe for Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar that lists 39 tools, among them B-axis tools at 3 / 3 for main and sub. Turning length is 12.59 in (320 mm) and each spindle runs to 8,000 rpm with a 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) motor.

The point of the configuration is to keep long, complicated parts on one machine. A shaft cut from bar this size often carries angled oil holes, inclined flats or cross features that are not square to the axis, and each of those is normally a second operation in a fixture. Three B-axis tools at the main spindle and three at the sub put those features inside the turning cycle at either end of the part. Mazak's table does not list the swivel range of the B axis or the speed of its tools, so the angle and cutter diameter of each feature should be checked with Mazak.

The remaining rows are 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 5 end working tools and 8 back working tools, and boring bar holders at 4 / 4 for main and sub. The SYNCREX 32/8 lists 36 tools and the SYNCREX 32/7 lists 27 tools on the same bar, length and spindle speed. The SYNCREX 32/9X also lists 39 tools.

At 12,200 lb (5,534 kg), 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm) on the floor with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control and 78.9 in (2,004 mm) tall, the machine needs a planned route into the shop. Its X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2 axes rapid at 1,378 ipm (35 m/min). For the series, Mazak describes an HDCC base cast as one piece and says SYNCREX machines run full bar capacity with no special bar end prep.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

39 tools, against 36 tools on the SYNCREX 32/8 and 27 tools on the SYNCREX 32/7
B-axis tools at 3 / 3 for main and sub, for angled features at both ends of a long part
5 end working tools and 8 back working tools alongside the B-axis positions
12.59 in (320 mm) of turning length on Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar
Matched spindles: 8,000 rpm and 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) on main and sub

Limitations

No B-axis swivel range and no live tool speed or power in the table
OD tool positions number 8, fewer than a turning-heavy job may want from a 39-tool machine
8,000 rpm top speed limits small drills and small-diameter turning
A 12,200 lb (5,534 kg) machine that is 78.9 in (2,004 mm) tall, with the rigging that implies
Spindle power is a 40% ED figure of 5.5 kW (8 HP); a continuous rating is not listed

Best For

Long shafts with angled holes or inclined flats machined in one cycle Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar parts that need angled tools on both ends Complex parts that fill 39 tool positions Work that combines deep end drilling with B-axis features

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the SYNCREX 32/9 add over the SYNCREX 32/8?

Tool positions. The SYNCREX 32/8 lists 36 tools and this model lists 39, and this model's table has a B-axis tool row at 3 / 3 for main and sub. Bar size, the 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length, the 8,000 rpm spindle speed and the 12,200 lb (5,534 kg) weight are common to both.

02 How are the 39 tools distributed?

Mazak lists 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 5 end working tools and 8 back working tools. Boring bar holders are 4 / 4 for main and sub and B-axis tools are 3 / 3 for main and sub. Those rows add up to the 39 tools in the tool capacity row.

03 What angles can the B-axis tools reach?

The table does not say. It lists the number of B-axis tools, 3 / 3 for main and sub, and nothing about swivel range, speed or power. Before choosing the machine for a part with angled features, get those figures from Mazak and check them against the drawing.

04 What bar and part sizes does it cover?

Bar up to Ø1.25 in (32 mm) and a maximum turning length of 12.59 in (320 mm). Mazak groups the model with its Ø32 mm to Ø38 mm machines and states that SYNCREX machines run full bar capacity with no special bar end prep.

05 How large is the SYNCREX 32/9?

52 in (1,321 mm) wide and 99.2 in (2,520 mm) deep with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control, 78.9 in (2,004 mm) high, and 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). Allow extra length for the bar feeder, which the footprint row does not mention.
