Mazak’s Syncrex 38/9 Swiss-Type Turning Machine Revolutionizes High-Volume Production of Small Parts!

Mazak is showcasing its Syncrex 38/9 Swiss-type turning machine at PMTS 2025, designed for the high-speed production of small, precise parts, such as automotive guide plugs. Featuring a nine-axis configuration and five spindle motors, the Syncrex 38/9 is built to handle high-volume production of parts from up to 1.5″ (38-mm) diameter bar stock.

The machine allows shops to run full bar capacity without requiring special bar-end preparation, and its removable guide bushing adapter enables operators to preset the guide bushing outside the machine, enhancing efficiency. Built with a one-piece, high-damping composite casting (HDCC) base, which is 10% more rigid than traditional cast iron, the Syncrex 38/9 minimizes thermal distortion and provides vibration damping. This results in a 30% longer tool life, according to Mazak.

Equipped with Mazatrol SmoothSt CNC, featuring a 15″ touch panel and full mechanical keyboard, the Syncrex 38/9 also includes Mazak’s Swiss Setup Assist (MSSA) for fast job setups and Mazak Turning Chip Control (MTCC) functionality. The advanced control system offers features like synchronous control, rigid tapping with all spindles, and the ability to perform cross and front simultaneous machining, making it a powerful solution for shops looking to optimize production efficiency and precision in high-volume, small-part manufacturing.
