The Mazak Syncrex 38 is a high-performance Swiss-style CNC lathe built for efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. As a small-part production lathe, it supports industries that depend on Swiss turning to achieve tight tolerances on complex geometries. With advanced features designed for production turning machine applications, it improves throughput while maintaining consistent quality in high-volume operations.
The Syncrex 38 uses High Damping Composite Casting (HDCC) for maximum rigidity and vibration control. This design ensures thermal stability, longer tool life, and superior surface finishes, even under demanding production conditions. Compared to conventional builds, it provides greater durability and machining consistency, which is an asset for extended high-volume runs.
To maximize spindle utilization, the Syncrex 38 integrates with bar feeder systems for continuous, unattended production. Multi-tool configurations expand cutting flexibility, reduce setup time, and support faster changeovers. As a production turning machine, it combines an automation-ready design with precise Swiss turning to give manufacturers the speed and reliability needed for competitive, large-scale production.

The Mazak Syncrex 38 is a Swiss-style production turning platform for bar stock up to 38 mm (1.50 in). It gives manufacturers the largest bar capacity in the Syncrex range while retaining main-spindle, sub-spindle, cross-working, and back-working capability for complex production parts. A.W. Miller Technical Sales is an authorized Mazak distributor serving manufacturers throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec. A.W. Miller supports Syncrex applications with machine selection, process development, installation, training, and factory-certified service.
Published capacity includes a 38 mm (1.50 in) maximum turning diameter, 320 mm (12.59 in) guide-bushing machining length, and 8,000 RPM main and sub spindles. Available tooling layouts provide up to 39 standard tool positions. The machine can also be changed between guide-bushing and chucker operation to accommodate different length-to-diameter ratios.
The 38 mm capacity is commonly applied to:
The larger bar diameter supports part families that exceed the capacity of the Syncrex 32 without moving to a conventional turning center.
Guide-bushing mode supports long, slender work. Chucker mode is available for shorter parts that do not require continuous guide-bushing support.
Available tooling layouts support turning, cross drilling, end working, boring, live back working, and angular machining as the part process requires.
Front and back features can be divided between spindles to complete more of the part before cutoff.
The published maximum turning diameter is 38 mm, or 1.50 inches.
Tooling should be allocated around every turning, drilling, milling, cutoff, and back-working operation while maintaining safe clearance and balanced cycle time.
Yes. Mazak describes the Syncrex 38 as convertible between guide-bushing and chucker operation.
The 38 is appropriate when the bar diameter exceeds 32 mm or when the larger stock size is needed for the finished geometry and workholding allowance.
Yes. Available live-tool and B-axis capability can support angled drilling and milling when the selected machine configuration and tool access match the part.
