MAZAK QUADREX 400M CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center represents a mid-range production lathe engineered for general-purpose machining and turning operations. The machine features a 12-inch chuck capacity with a maximum turning diameter of 23 inches and a swing of 33.07 inches, accommodating medium-sized workpieces with substantial length requirements. The extended 83.07-inch machining length provides flexibility for complex part geometries and multi-operation setups, making it suitable for automotive components and industrial applications that require balanced precision with cost effectiveness. Powered by a 10 horsepower main spindle capable of reaching 4,000 RPM, the lathe delivers adequate torque and speed for efficient metal removal across various materials and cutting conditions. The CNC control system enables automated tool selection and positioning through an integrated tool turret, eliminating manual intervention and improving repeatability to ±0.002 mm or better. This automation facilitates consistent tolerances across production runs, critical for maintaining IT7-IT8 tolerance levels typical in automotive manufacturing. The machine's rigid construction incorporates precision linear motion systems and robust guideways that minimize vibration during operation, ensuring surface finishes between Ra 1.6-0.8μm for standard turning applications. The combination of spindle dynamics, structural rigidity, and CNC automation provides dimensional accuracy up to ±0.0001 inches. Optional Y-axis and driven turret capabilities expand functionality to include drilling, tapping, and light milling operations, enabling complete part machining within a single setup and reducing potential errors from multiple re-clamping processes.
