1996 Mazak Multiplex 630 CNC Twin-Spindle Turning Center

The 1996 Mazak Multiplex 630 is a multi-tasking CNC turning center built around Mazak's twin-spindle, twin-turret architecture for done-in-one production work where parts need to be fully machined from both ends without operator intervention. It pairs two opposed main spindles - each equipped with a 13-inch Schunk hydraulic chuck and a full complement of soft and hard jaws - with twin turrets that include live tooling (one horizontal mill tool and one vertical mill tool included in the package) so that turn, mill, drill, and tap operations all happen on the same chuck-up. This particular unit ships with the integrated gantry robot and pallet system already in place, plus multiple OD and ID turning tools, making it a ready-to-run cell rather than a cabinet sale.

Compared to a single-spindle CNC lathe in the same size class, the Multiplex 630 cuts piece-part cycle time roughly in half on parts that require back-side work - because the moment a part finishes on Spindle 1, it transfers directly to Spindle 2 for the second operation without unloading, re-fixturing, or operator handling. The recent investment in 3 new Mitsubishi drives and new spindle drives means the most critical wear items have been addressed up front, so a buyer is acquiring a multi-tasking platform whose drive package has been refreshed rather than discovered post-sale.
