MAZAK DUAL TURN 20 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features an 8-inch chuck with a 2-inch maximum bar capacity, making it suitable for small-to-medium diameter stock material handling. With a maximum turning diameter of 12.6 inches and equivalent swing clearance, the lathe can accommodate parts up to this radial dimension without interference with machine guarding or components. The impressive 49.2-inch machining length accommodates longer workpieces, though this effective capacity may be reduced depending on chuck depth and tooling configuration. Powered by a 20 horsepower spindle motor reaching 4,750 RPM, the machine delivers sufficient torque and speed for general turning, threading, and facing operations on various materials. The included tailstock provides essential support for extended workpiece machining, preventing deflection during cutting operations. Computer Numerical Control via the MAZATROL T-PLUS system eliminates manual operation, enabling complex tool paths with repeatability and precision tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. The 2-axis configuration (X and Z) controls diameter and length adjustments respectively, making it ideal for symmetrical parts and straightforward production runs. This machine represents a versatile solution for job shops and manufacturers requiring reliable precision without the complexity of multi-axis systems, balancing capability, power delivery, and operational efficiency for consistent component production.
