Overview
The Mazak HQR-150MSY is a twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC turning center that steps up from the HQR-100MSY with a larger spindle bore while maintaining the same 6-inch chuck and turning envelope. The HQR-150MSY is designed for high-volume production of complex turned and milled parts where simultaneous machining with two turrets drives significant cycle time reductions.
The HQR-150MSY runs a 152 mm (6 in) main chuck with a maximum turning diameter of 295 mm (11.625 in) and maximum turning length of 619 mm (24.375 in). The main spindle delivers 18.5 kW (25 hp) at up to 4,500 RPM through an A2-6 spindle nose with a 76 mm (2.99 in) spindle bore. The larger bore compared to the HQR-100MSY accommodates bigger bar stock up to 65 mm (2.56 in) for production bar feeding.
The twin-turret configuration operates both turrets independently for simultaneous machining on the same spindle. Both turrets feature live tooling with BMT interfaces and C-axis capability. Y-axis on the upper turret enables off-center milling, drilling, and contouring. The dual spindle with automatic part transfer enables complete done-in-one processing.
MAZATROL SmoothG manages the multi-channel programming with built-in collision avoidance between the two turrets and dual spindles. The control handles turret synchronization, spindle transfer, and coordinated operations.
The HQR-150MSY competes with the Nakamura-Tome WTW-150, Index C200, and DMG Mori NZX 2000. The larger spindle bore makes it more versatile than the HQR-100MSY for bar-fed production of medium-diameter parts. For shops running production lots that need maximum throughput with complete part processing, the HQR-150MSY delivers the capability. Specs sourced from Mazak Corporation published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Larger 76 mm spindle bore accommodates 2.5-inch bar stock for wider part range
- Twin-turret simultaneous cutting delivers 30-50% cycle time reduction over single-turret machines
- 24 total tool positions handle complex parts with turning, milling, and drilling
- 18.5 kW spindle provides more power than the HQR-100MSY for heavier cuts
- MAZATROL SmoothG with collision avoidance manages dual-turret complexity
- Dual spindles with automatic transfer for complete done-in-one processing
Limitations
- Higher cost than HQR-100MSY requires production volumes to justify the investment
- Dual-turret programming requires experienced multi-channel programmers
- Setup time for new jobs is substantially longer than single-turret machines
- 4,500 RPM max spindle speed is lower than the HQR-100MSY's 5,000 RPM

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New pricing runs $220,000-$380,000 depending on options. The larger spindle bore adds a modest premium over the HQR-100MSY.
02
The 150MSY has a larger spindle bore (76 mm vs 61 mm), more spindle power (25 hp vs 20 hp), and accommodates 2.5-inch bar stock. Same turning envelope and dual-turret architecture.
03
Two turrets can cut simultaneously on the same workpiece, balancing cutting forces and dramatically reducing cycle times. One turret can rough while the other finishes.
04
It can, but setup complexity makes it most cost-effective on lots of 500+ pieces. The cycle time savings compound with volume.
