MAZAK SLANT TURN 500M - 160 INCH HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The MAZAK SLANT TURN 500M is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for large-diameter, long-length turning applications. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 35.83 inches, a maximum turning length of 161.38 inches, and an 18-inch chuck diameter, supporting a maximum swing of 40.94 inches. The spindle delivers 60 HP with speeds up to 1,600 RPM, optimized for heavy cutting and precision machining. The machine is equipped with a 12-position turret tool carrier, allowing up to 12 turning tools with simultaneous use of one cutting tool, and a rotary tool spindle capable of 4,000 RPM for secondary milling and drilling operations, powered at 7.5 kW (10 HP). The SLANT TURN 500M operates primarily on a two-axis system (X and Z) with optional 3-axis configurations for advanced flexibility. It provides robust travel lengths of 18.31 inches on the X-axis and 164.96 inches on the Z-axis, supporting long workpieces typical in aerospace, oilfield, and heavy industrial parts manufacturing. High torque geared headstocks and the Mazak MX Hybrid Roller Guide System enhance cutting performance and accuracy. Additional features include CNC servo-driven tailstocks and spindle C-axis positioning for complex slotting and drilling tasks. This machine is tailored for efficient, high-precision turning of large components, emphasizing productivity, durability, and multi-function machining on a single platform.
