Mazak continues to grow its NEO Series of machines with the addition of the new HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO multi-tasking turning centers. Not only are the machines the first multi-tasking machines in the NEO Series line, they also feature Mazak’s new Mazatrol SmoothG3 control technology.

Both machines have two spindles and three turrets — two upper and one lower — for unequaled Done In One® part processing opportunities and high-volume throughput in single setups. The drum-style turrets provide 12 or 16 tool positions and rotary tool capability. Main machine spindles handle 4-inch bar stock while the second spindle is capable of processing bar diameters up to 2.992 inches (76 mm). The machine easily integrates with available bar feeders and workpiece loaders/unloaders for fully automated operations.

For the HQR 200/3 NEO and HQR 250/3 NEO, Mazak developed its Mazatrol SmoothG3 control to support three-turret machine functionality. The control gives users a clear specific display of the turrets for programming and operational ease of use and to ensure process security.

As part of the Mazatrol SmoothG3 control, the machines include Mazak’s Ai Thermal Shield. The function ensures stable machining accuracy through machine-learning-enhanced heat displacement compensation.

At IMTS 2024, the HQR 200/3 NEO took center stage in Mazak’s High-production Action Area. Along with that new machine, Mazak showcased its ongoing commitment to continuous innovation in machine tool technology, automation, and digital solutions designed to help manufactures do more and make more.

Every Mazak machine is backed by Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care, the industry’s most comprehensive machine support program. Plus, Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF) allows shops to move their manufacturing forward with one-stop, factory-direct financing on Mazak equipment.
