FAQ

Which turret interface do Mazak lathes use?

It depends on the machine, not on the brand. Across the 130 Mazak models documented on this site the published interfaces are: BMT68 on 84 models (such as QT 100 M/MY/MS/MSY, QT 200 M/MY/MS/MSY, QT 250 M/MY/MS/MSY); BOT on 52 models (such as Dual Turn 20, Megaturn Smart 500 M, Megaturn Smart 600 M); VDI40 on 41 models (such as Hyper Quadrex 100 / 150 MSY, Hyper Quadrex 200 / 250 MSY, Hyper Quadrex 200 / 250 MSY (16D)); BMT80 on 32 models (such as QT 300 M/MY/MS/MSY (12-station), QT 350 M/MY/MS/MSY (12-station)); BMT55 on 2 models (only QT-Ez 8 / 10 / 12 (BMT55), QT-Ez 8 / 10 / 12 M/MY/MSY). A further 3 models are not yet published with an interface and are confirmed per configuration at RFQ. Some models appear under more than one interface because the same designation ships with different turret options. Send the model designation and turret station count and Mongtec engineering confirms it against the actual turret drawing.

Why do some Mazak models show BMT68 and others BOT?

It follows the turret. Pure turning machines (2-axis, no live tooling) are built with BOT or Mazak's own bolt-on static holders; driven turrets — the M, MY and MSY variants — are predominantly BMT68. Mazak also uses its own VDI40 clamping variant, so a standard DIN 69880 VDI40 shank does not drop in; Mongtec supplies holders to the Mazak interface instead. Where this page does not separate sub-models, both are listed and the actual turret is confirmed at RFQ.

Will a Mongtec driven tool holder fit my Mazak turret?

Mongtec supplies on the same open machine-side standards Mazak turrets use — BMT face-and-taper, VDI polygonal shank to DIN 69880, and PSC polygon coupling to ISO 26623. Because BMT is an industry de-facto standard rather than an ISO or DIN standard, fitment is confirmed per machine: send the model designation and turret station count (a photo of the turret face or the machine spec sheet helps) and Mongtec engineering confirms it against the actual turret drawing before quoting.

My Mazak model is not in the list above — can you still supply?

In most cases yes. The list covers models already documented by Mongtec; it is not the limit of what Mongtec can supply. Custom and special-configuration units are a standard part of the work, and Mongtec supplies turret interfaces beyond the article numbers published on this site. Send the model designation and turret station count and engineering will confirm.

Do you supply static holders and boring bar holders as well as driven tools?

Yes. Static turning, boring bar, facing, cut-off and blank holders are supplied on the same turret interfaces as the driven units, alongside quick-change tooling and angle heads.

What quality documentation ships with the tooling?

Every driven unit ships with an individual inspection report for that specific unit — measured values, not a generic batch certificate.

What is the lead time?

Mongtec does not publish a blanket lead time. It is confirmed according to the items and quantities the customer requests, once interface, quantity and any customisation are reviewed. Request a quote for a project-specific answer.

Does Mongtec repair driven tools from other brands used on Mazak machines?

Mongtec's Taiwan service centre works on driven tool holders and angle heads. Whether a specific third-party brand and model is covered is confirmed case by case on request.
