MAZAK NEXUS 4000-III HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2016 Mazak Nexus 4000-III is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex part manufacturing. Equipped with the Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 CNC control system, this machine delivers simultaneous three-axis control with advanced programming capabilities optimized for angled drilling, milling, and tapping operations. The machine features an 18,000 RPM spindle with a robust 70mm bearing size and 25 HP motor, providing exceptional cutting performance across diverse materials. With a generous 60-tool automatic tool changer utilizing shortest-path tool selection, the system achieves rapid chip-to-chip tool changes in just 2.4 seconds, minimizing non-cutting time and maximizing productivity. The work envelope spans 22.0 inches (X-axis), 25.2 inches (Y-axis), and 25.2 inches (Z-axis), with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,362 IPM and 1G axis acceleration/deceleration for dynamic responsiveness. The pallet positioning system offers flexible workpiece mounting with adjustable distance from pallet center to spindle nose ranging from 2.8 to 28.0 inches, combined with rapid 1.3-second table indexing for each 90-degree rotation. The intuitive Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 control simplifies complex part programming through conversational interfaces and 3D model visualization, significantly reducing setup time. Standard features include USB and LAN connectivity for seamless data integration, automatic tool length measurement capability, and high-pressure coolant-through-spindle systems. Weighing 23,584 pounds with dimensions of 87" × 207" × 106.8" H, this machine represents a substantial investment in manufacturing excellence, delivering reliability and precision for production environments demanding consistent quality and efficiency.
