2001 Mazak SQT200MS CNC Lathe with Sub-Spindle

The 2001 Mazak SQT200MS CNC Lathe is a powerful multi-tasking machine equipped with live tooling, Y-axis milling, sub-spindle, and full C-axis indexing. It boasts 23 inches of B-axis travel, 22.625 inches in Z, and 7.125 inches in X, with ±2 inches of Y-axis reach. The main spindle delivers 25 horsepower and 5000 RPM through an A2-6 nose with 2.4-inch bore, while the sub-spindle offers 10 horsepower and 1.73-inch bore capacity. Its 12-position drum turret supports live milling with a 5 horsepower spindle up to 4500 RPM. Designed for complex work, the machine includes 360000-position C-axis indexing on the main spindle and 72-position indexing on the sub, alongside a chip conveyor and tool setter.

Compared to simpler turning centres, the SQT200MS offers extensive multitasking capability through its Y-axis milling, dual spindles, and full contouring C-axis. Machines lacking sub-spindle integration or full-axis indexing fall short in true single-setup machining and efficient backworking operations.
