MAZAK SLANT TURN NEXUS 500M-3000U CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC turning center equipped with a Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 control system, delivering robust performance for large-scale lathe operations. The machine features a generous 41-inch swing diameter with a maximum turning capacity of 35.85 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces. The extended 126.38-inch machining length enables production of long, complex components, while the 18-inch chuck provides secure workholding for precision turning operations. Powered by a 60 HP main motor, the machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,600 RPM, optimized for heavy roughing cuts and large-diameter workpiece machining. The Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 CNC control simplifies programming for angled drilling, milling, and tapping operations with conversational programming capabilities. This control system supports simultaneous multi-axis operation with dedicated second spindle control and provides up to 20GB of program storage capacity. The control features advanced precision capabilities including sub-micron input accuracy (0.0001mm increments) and high-precision absolute position detection, ensuring repeatability and accuracy across production runs. With EIA/ISO and conversational programming options, the machine accommodates diverse programming preferences for operator-friendly versatility. The system supports up to 4,000 tool offsets and tool wear compensation functions, maximizing tool utilization efficiency. This configuration represents an ideal solution for heavy-duty turning applications requiring extended workpiece lengths, substantial material removal rates, and advanced CNC automation capabilities.
