Mazak Showcases Speed and Precision Machining at PRI 2025

FLORENCE, Ky., November 24, 2025 – At this year’s Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show from December 11-13 in Indianapolis, Ind., Mazak will demonstrate two automation-ready machines designed with motorsports part production in mind. The QTE-200 MSY CNC Turning Center with a built-in motor spindle for high-speed, high-accuracy machining, and the SYNCREX 38/8 Swiss-type Turning Machine for fast production of small, precise components.

“Mazak has stood alongside the racing community for decades,” said Dan Janka, President of Mazak. “At PRI 2025, we continue our tradition of helping race teams and suppliers push the limits of what’s possible by providing advanced manufacturing technologies that fuel performance and precision at every level of competition.” 

Built for speed, precision, and reliability, Mazak’s QTE-200MSY Turning Center delivers the performance-driven machining capabilities race engineers depend on to produce high-quality components under demanding timelines. The QTE-200MSY’s integral 20 hp (15 kW) turning spindle reaches a maximum speed of 5,000 rpm, and the machine processes part diameters up to 13.39" (340 mm) and has a bar diameter capacity of 2.56" (65 mm). 

The machine accommodates workpieces up to 22.6" (574 mm) in length. Feed axes measure 8.46" (215 mm) in X, 3.94" (100 mm) in Y and 23.8" (605 mm) in Z, with LM guides on all axes for superior long-term accuracy and repeatability. The rotary tool turret spindle provides 7.38 hp (5.5 kW) milling with a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm and 12-tool capacity.

The QTE-200MSY has a 10 hp (7.5 kW) second spindle capable of 6,000 rpm with a 6" chuck to allow for a DONE-IN-ONE® process. For reduced maintenance and higher part quality, the headstock design of the QTE-200MSY eliminates belts and pulleys, while the overall machine construction minimizes vibration to produce high-accuracy machining with exceptional surface finishes.

The QTE-200MSY includes the MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC with MAZATROL conversational programming and G-code programming capabilities. For built-in automatic tool presetting, operators simply bring the tool tip in contact with the machine's Automatic Tool Eye, which automatically records the offset of the tool nose position, tool measurement and data registration to ensure accuracy and reduce setup time.

For high-volume production of small, precise motorsports parts, the SYNCREX 38/8 Swiss-style machine is built on Mazak’s High Damping Composite Casting (HDCC). The unique high-rigidity base provides greater vibration damping characteristics, less thermal growth, longer tool life and greater part surface capabilities than cast iron.

The SYNCREX 38/8 handles bar stock up to 1.5" (38 mm), allowing shops to run full bar capacity with no special bar end preparation. The 8-axis configuration is standard with 10 hp (7.5 kW) main and second spindles, four cross working live tools on the main spindle, as well as up to six live tools and a Y-axis for the counter spindle.

The SYNCREX 38/8 features 36 tool positions, and the removable guide bushing adapter enables operators to preset the guide bushing outside the machine. The machine is also considered “convertible” and can quickly and easily be changed over to run in chucker/non-guide brushing mode, to efficiently run shorter non-traditional parts that would normally run in a fixed headstock lathe, which improves shop output.

The SYNCREX 38/8 includes the new MAZATROL SmoothSt control with a full mechanical keyboard. The optional Mazak Swiss Setup Assist (MSSA) provides fast and easy job setup capabilities, while the optional Mazak Dynamic Chip Control (MDCC) functionality increases chip-management performance.

“Racing drives innovation and advances performance with precision and purpose,” added Janka. “Principles that mirror Mazak’s own pursuit of manufacturing excellence.”

Every Mazak machine, including those shown at PRI 2025, is backed by Mazak MPower Complete Customer Care, the industry’s most comprehensive machine support program. Plus, Mazak Capital Equipment Financing (MCEF) allows shops to easily move their manufacturing forward with one-stop, factory-direct financing on Mazak equipment.
