Mazak’s QT-Ez 8MSY horizontal turning machine features milling and Y-axis capabilities paired with a second turning spindle. The versatile, automation-ready machine also integrates seamlessly with bar feeders and robots, and accepts many additional options to tailor it to the needs of any shop.
The QT-Ez 8MSY features a 20" bed sports an 8" chuck as standard equipment, with a 6" chuck as optional. Available machine turrets include two-axis drum style with a bolt-on or BMT55 turret for rotary tool applications.
The QT-Ez 8MSY uses an A2-6 spindle mount with 5,000 rpm, 20 hp (14.9 kW), 123 ft-lbs (17 Nm) of torque and a 2" (50.8 mm) bar capacity. It handles parts up to 23.47" (596 mm) long. The turret milling spindle offers 6,000 rpm with 7.5 hp (5.59 kW) and 25.8 ft-lbs (3.57 Nm) of torque. A 6,000 rpm second turning spindle with a 5" chuck accepts an optional through-hole package for shaft transfer applications.
For further productivity, the QT-Ez 8MSY accepts a range of automation solutions from simple bar feeders and parts catchers to full cooperative robot installations, such as Mazak Automation Systems’ cobot cell system models, the CC-10 and CC-16.
