MAZAK HORIZONTAL NEXUS 5000-III HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mazak HORIZONTAL NEXUS 5000-III is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in medium to large batch production. It features a 19.69" x 19.69" indexed table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,102 lbs, with an optional rotary table for advanced machining applications. The horizontal spindle, with a CAT #40 taper, delivers up to 12,000 RPM and is powered by a 25 HP motor (30-minute rating), offering robust machining power suitable for various materials. Equipped with a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) standard, it supports tool magazines up to 330 tools optionally, allowing uninterrupted production and flexibility. The tool change time is a fast 2.6 seconds, minimizing downtime. It includes a standard pallet changer with two pallets, expandable to six pallets, for efficient workpiece handling and setup. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 28.74" x 28.74" x 31.5" respectively, each capable of rapid traverse and feed rates up to 2,362 inches per minute, maximizing cycle times. A rotary B-axis with 360-degree rotation is also present for multi-angle machining. This machining center leverages Mazak's advanced CNC controls and offers high-pressure coolant and optional 4-axis capabilities. It is ideal for industries requiring precise, high-speed, and high-torque horizontal machining solutions with flexible tooling and pallet management options.
