Showcasing the latest addition to our range of high-volume turning centres, the new HQR NEO series, equipped with 3 turrets and 2 spindles, offers customers increased productivity, high accuracy and efficiency, all designed to boost profitability dramatically.
The additional third turret achieves a faster ROI by reducing cycle time by approximately 25%, based on an example component produced with a two-turret configuration. The added tool stations enhance the processing capability to complete complex parts in a single set-up.
Ideally suited for medium-to-high batch sizes across the aerospace, automotive and electric vehicle and general subcontract industries, the new machine design – which is only 120mm deeper than the two-turret version – has increased the maximum workpiece size for lower-turret chuck work from Ø212mm to Ø320mm.
Unique to Mazak, this enlarged spindle bore option facilitates the machining of prismatic components from bar material using only a turning centre – work that otherwise would require a machining centre.
Enhanced automation features include a redesigned unloading hand that contributes to a 20% reduction in unloading time compared to previous models. The Smooth Oscillating Cutting function automatically breaks up chips and swarf to prevent unwanted build-up and ensure trouble-free machining. The Ai Thermal Shield stabilises machining accuracy using advanced algorithms to compensate for temperature fluctuations, enhancing process stability in automated production.
The HQR-200/3 NEO is controlled via the new MAZATROL SmoothG3 CNC with three channels and features to simplify programming, machine set-up and prove-out. The multi-channel arrangement intuitively helps operators optimise tool paths, reduce unnecessary tool changes, balance machining time on each turret, and prevent collision.
