MAZAK QUICK TURN 20 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe configured for general-purpose turning operations on small-to-medium sized components. The machine features an 8-inch chuck with a 2-inch bar capacity, enabling efficient handling of round stock material. With a maximum turning diameter of 11.81 inches and a swing capacity of 17.3 inches, this lathe accommodates workpieces up to these dimensional limits without interference from the cross-slide or machine guarding. The 17.5-inch maximum machining length provides adequate envelope for producing parts along the spindle centerline, though effective length may be reduced depending on chuck selection and tooling projection. The 20-horsepower spindle motor with 5,000 RPM maximum capability delivers sufficient power and torque for standard turning operations, drilling, and feature generation on castings, forgings, and solid bar stock. The 2-axis configuration—operating on X-axis (radial control) and Z-axis (longitudinal control)—manages diameter and length adjustments, making this machine ideal for symmetrical, rotational parts requiring straightforward tool paths. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for longer workpieces during machining, improving part rigidity and surface finish quality. Computer Numerical Control via MAZATROL T-PLUS automation ensures consistent repeatability with precision tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches, eliminating manual operator variability and enabling high-volume production runs. This configuration balances capability, precision, and cost-effectiveness for jobshop and production environments focused on traditional turning work.
