MAZAK MEGATURN 1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK MEGATURN 1600 Vertical Machining Center is a robust 3-axis CNC machine designed for heavy-duty machining of large workpieces, featuring a powerful 60 HP motor and a maximum spindle speed of 350 RPM. It offers extensive travel capabilities with an X-axis travel of 44.88 inches and a Z-axis travel of 35.63 inches, providing ample machining envelope for complex components. The machine is equipped with a single simultaneous cutting tool capacity and is optimized for precision turning and milling operations, integrating a high-torque spindle capable of handling large diameter parts up to 1,650 mm with a maximum machining height of approximately 900 mm. The design utilizes a column travelling structure that minimizes interference with workpieces, enabling the machining of large diameters without structural constraints. This center supports CNC control (Mazatrol Smooth G) with advanced features such as automatic tool changer options and high-pressure coolant systems for improved machining performance and chip management. Its rigid construction and high-torque spindle provide exceptional stability and surface finish quality, making it suitable for demanding industries such as aerospace and heavy equipment manufacturing. Standard features include hydraulic chuck operation, a 12-position turret, and integrated probe systems for precise measurement and tool offset. The machine weighs over 54,000 lbs and supports rapid traverse rates up to 945 IPM on both X and Z axes, facilitating efficient cycle times and productivity. Optional configurations include dual-pallet changers and mirror-image setups for optimized production workflows.
