Triple Turret Performance in Action

Applications Engineer Sam Luehrs recently created a feature-rich demo part on the new Mazak HQR-250/3 NEO on the tech center floor at Northwest Machine in Rogers, MN.

The entire part was completed in under six minutes, showcasing the power of triple-turret machining with three tools cutting simultaneously to maximize productivity, balance cutting forces, and reduce cycle time.

If you’re looking to dramatically increase throughput on complex milled and turned parts, this machine deserves a closer look. Stop in for a live demonstration at our Tech Center and see how triple-turret machining can transform your turning and milling operations.

Three Operations. One Machine. Complete Flexibility.

The Northwest Machine engineering team is showcasing the power of the Mazak VARIAXIS C-600 performing three operations in a single machine cycle using dovetail fixturing.

This demo highlights how easily you can adapt the C-600’s flexibility using Mazatrol. Whether you’re running a single setup or all three simultaneously, Mazatrol allows you to choose the setup you want to run with one click of a button as opposed to lengthy G-code editing.

Precision. Efficiency. Versatility.

All made possible with Mazak 5-axis technology and the expertise of Northwest Machine.

Knee-Deep in Service and Still Smiling!

Northwest Machine service technician Wade Kruger is hard at work replacing linear guides on a Mazak HCN6000 — and he’s happy to do it!

This 17-year-old horizontal machining center has been running 24/7 production in a demanding cast iron application since day one. Amazingly, Wade is now installing its first-ever set of linear guides. Even more impressive? The machine is still running with its original spindle.

That’s the kind of durability and support you get from Mazak and Northwest Machine.

Great work, Wade — keeping legendary machines in legendary shape!
