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 32/9X is the 32 mm Swiss-type lathe that Mazak files under the 5-Axis group of its SYNCREX series. It turns bar up to Ø1.25 in (32 mm) over a maximum turning length of 12.59 in (320 mm). Main and sub spindle both run to 8,000 rpm and are each rated 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED).

Tool capacity is 39 tools. Mazak's table breaks the tooling into 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 8 back-working tools and 2 end-working tools, with boring bar holders listed as 4 / 4 for main and sub and B-axis tools listed as 3 / 3 for main and sub. Having B-axis positions on both sides means an angled hole or milled face does not have to be finished before the part is handed to the sub spindle. On the same bar size the SYNCREX 32/7 carries 27 tools and the SYNCREX 32/8 carries 36 tools, so the choice inside the 32 family is mostly about how much tooling the part needs and whether any of it must work at an angle.

Rapid traverse is 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on every axis the table names: X, Y and Z, and the second set X2, Y2 and Z2. With the same rate on both sets, non-cutting moves cost the same on the front and the back-working side. The footprint row names the MAZATROL SmoothStX control.

The machine occupies 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm) of floor, stands 78.9 in (2,004 mm) high and weighs 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). No bar feeder dimensions are given, so add the feeder's length when laying out the cell.

For the SYNCREX series as a whole, Mazak describes an HDCC machine base made as a solid one-piece casting, which it states is 10% more rigid than cast iron, together with a removable guide bushing adapter that lets the bushing be preset outside the machine.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

39 tools, the same count as the SYNCREX 32/9 and above the 36 tools of the SYNCREX 32/8
B-axis tools listed for both sides, 3 / 3 for main and sub, on a model Mazak groups under 5-Axis
Main and sub spindles are matched: 8,000 rpm and 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) each
1,378 ipm (35 m/min) rapid traverse on X, Y and Z and on X2, Y2 and Z2
Mazak lists an Auto Tool Setter in the machine and a removable guide bushing adapter as SYNCREX series features

Limitations

Bar stock is limited to Ø1.25 in (32 mm); the SYNCREX 38/7 and SYNCREX 38/8 take Ø1.5 in (38 mm)
Both spindles stop at 8,000 rpm, which holds back cutting speed on small-diameter features
The 5.5 kW (8 HP) spindle figure is a 40% ED rating; the table gives no continuous rating
The table states no swivel range or speed for the B-axis tools, so angled work has to be confirmed part by part

Best For

Bar work up to Ø1.25 in (32 mm) with angled features on both main and sub sides Parts that need most of the 39 tools mounted to finish in one cycle Slender turned parts within the 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length Back-end machining on a sub spindle as fast as the main, at 8,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What bar size and part length does the SYNCREX 32/9X handle?

Maximum turning diameter is Ø1.25 in (32 mm) and maximum turning length is 12.59 in (320 mm). If the work needs larger stock, the SYNCREX 38/7 and SYNCREX 38/8 are listed at Ø1.5 in (38 mm) with the same 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length.

02 How many tools does the SYNCREX 32/9X carry?

39 tools. Mazak's table lists 8 OD tools, 4 cross live tools, 8 back-working tools and 2 end-working tools, with boring bar holders shown as 4 / 4 for main and sub and B-axis tools shown as 3 / 3 for main and sub.

03 How does the SYNCREX 32/9X differ from the SYNCREX 32/9?

The headline figures match: the SYNCREX 32/9 is also listed with Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar, 12.59 in (320 mm) turning length, 8,000 rpm, 39 tools and 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). Mazak places the 9X in the 5-Axis group of the series, and its footprint row names the MAZATROL SmoothStX control. Ask Mazak to set out the functional difference before choosing between the two.

04 What are the spindle speeds and power ratings on the SYNCREX 32/9X?

The main spindle and the sub spindle both reach 8,000 rpm, and each is rated 5.5 kW (8 HP) at 40% ED. That is an intermittent rating. The table does not state a continuous figure, so long heavy cuts in tough bar should be planned with some margin.

05 How much floor space and weight should be planned for?

The machine measures 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm) (W × D) with the MAZATROL SmoothStX control, is 78.9 in (2,004 mm) high and weighs 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). A bar feeder is not covered by those figures and its length has to be added to the layout.
