MAZAK QUICK TURN NEXUS 100-II MS CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe represents a mid-sized turning center designed for versatile production machining. The machine features a robust 6-inch chuck capacity paired with a 2-inch bar capacity, enabling the processing of both solid stock and pre-turned materials. With 15 horsepower driving the spindle system, the lathe achieves a maximum rotational speed of 6,000 RPM, providing adequate cutting velocity for general turning, facing, and grooving operations across various material types. The 21.6-inch swing over bed accommodates workpieces of considerable diameter, while the 17.9-inch machining length provides sufficient travel for lengthwise cutting operations. The absence of a tailstock limits this machine to chucking operations only, making it particularly suited for short-run production and one-off custom components rather than complex bar work requiring center support. Full CNC automation via programmed instructions enables precise repeatability and dimensional accuracy, eliminating manual operator intervention for tool positioning and feed rates. This control system integration reduces setup time and human error while increasing throughput compared to manually operated lathes. The machine's specifications position it as an effective tool for shops requiring single-spindle turning capacity with modern computerized capabilities, suitable for producing flanged components, bushings, valve bodies, and similar rotational parts within the specified dimensional envelope. The 15 HP spindle provides adequate torque for interrupted cuts and tougher alloys while maintaining respectable surface finishes typical of CNC turning operations.
