Mazak SYNCREX Swiss-style Series machines are designed to provide a maximum turning diameter of 1" (25mm). The Kentucky-built SYNCREX 25/7, 25/8, and 25/9 machines feature seven-, eight-, and nine-axis performance, respectively, with sliding headstocks that run full bar capacity with no special bar end prep.

The Mazak High Damping Composite Casting (HDCC) of the machines provides a unique high-rigidity base with greater vibration damping characteristics, less thermal growth, and greater part surface capabilities than a cast iron base. The spline-connected sliding head spindle heightens accuracy and minimizes the bar remnant length to reduce material waste.

The Mazak automated tool presetter Mazak Swiss Setup Assist (MSSA) checks and measures up to 36 onboard tools to optimize and reduce tool setting process time. Mazak offers a full catalog of modular tool holders allowing their customers the tooling flexibility to meet their part requirements.

Additionally, Mazak offers an optional MT Tablet that creates a twin-screen system. The system allows the operator to work with off-line programming systems (ESPRIT or AutoDesk-PartMaker) at the machine to help reduce set-up time and increase production.

These Mazak SYNCREX machines rely on the MAZATROL SmoothSt CNC with 15" touch-panel for easy input of setup and programming data. Intuitive user-friendly screens make it quick and easy to touch off tools and prepare the machine for automatic cycles, which regains production time and lessens setup. The optional Mazak Swiss Setup Assist (MSSA) further enhances fast and easy production, along with the optional Mazak Dynamic Chip Control (MDCC) functionality that increases chip-management performance.
