Mazak's HQR Neo turning center will be featured at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics. This machine is designed to enhance productivity and precision with its two-spindle, triple-turret configuration, enabling efficient turning, milling, and drilling in a single setup. Its advanced design supports simultaneous, balanced cutting on both spindles, offering up to a 25 percent reduction in cycle times compared to traditional two-turret machines.

Built for efficiency, the HQR-200/3 Neo is designed to handle diverse machining needs, ideally suited for medium-to-high batch sizes from aerospace to automotive applications as well as volume subcontracting.

The new model provides powerful turning capabilities with high spindle speeds (up to 5,000 rpm) and a dual 22 kW spindle that can easily manage complex part requirements. The 6,000 rpm milling spindle delivers enhanced performance, supporting everything from end milling to high-speed drilling. The HQR Neo is only 120 mm deeper than the two-turret version and offers an increased maximum workpiece size for lower-turret chuck work from Ø212 mm to Ø320 mm.

Engineered for diverse part applications, the HQR-200/3 Neo integrates seamlessly with various automation solutions, from bar feeders to robotic machine-tending setups, enabling flexible and unattended operations. The model’s advanced Y-axis long stroke enables precise, balanced machining across complex geometries, maximising productivity while ensuring exceptional accuracy. With a tandem tooling setup, users benefit from reduced tool changeovers and optimised setup time, ideal for high-volume production needs.

Southern Manufacturing & Electronics visitors are invited to see the new Mazatrol Smooth G3 CNC, which will be exhibited as part of the machine. It features three channels which intuitively help operators to optimise tool paths, reduce unnecessary tool changes, balance machining time on each turret and prevent collision.

The HQR-200/3 Neo is the latest machine to be engineered to align with Mazak’s Go Green strategy, combining precision and efficiency with reduced environmental impact. Developed with energy conservation in mind, it features inverter-driven hydraulic and chiller units that optimise power consumption and a refined slideway lubrication system that adjusts to machine travel to reduce grease use. The optional Smooth Coolant System further enhances both energy savings and maintenance efficiency, making this model a key addition for sustainable manufacturing.
