![HQR 200/3 and HQR 250/3 NEO Series Expanded With Done In One HQR 200/3 and HQR 250/3](/sites/default/files/styles/product_image/public/product_images/Mazak%2520HQR-200_3%2520NEO.jpg?itok=OG7iPoK2)
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 ONEÆ 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” bar stock while the second spindle is capable of processing bar diameters up to 2.992” (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 will take center stage in Mazak’s High-production Action Area. Along with that new machine, Mazak will showcase its ongoing commitment to continuous innovation in machine tool technology, automation and digital solutions designed to help manufactures do more and make more. Must-see technology for job shops, Multi-Tasking and advanced manufacturing will also be featured in live demonstrations processing real-world industry-specific parts at IMTS 2024 in booth #338300.
Every Mazak machine, including those at IMTS, are backed by Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care, the industry’s most comprehensive machine support program. Plus, Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF) allows shops to easily move their manufacturing forward with one-stop, factory-direct financing on Mazak equipment.

- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
