MAZAK SLANT TURN NEXUS 550-3000U CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The MATRIX NEXUS 2 CNC turning center is a heavy-duty lathe system engineered for precision cylindrical machining operations. This machine features a 41-inch swing capacity and 123.78-inch machining length, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 35.85 inches. The 21-inch chuck provides secure workpiece clamping for demanding turning applications. Powered by a robust 60 HP motor with a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM, this machine delivers exceptional torque for deep-cutting operations and sustained production runs. The MATRIX NEXUS 2 CNC control system offers simultaneous three-axis capability with advanced programming optimization for complex geometries. The control supports continuous second-spindle operation and accommodates up to 20GB of program data storage, enabling efficient management of diverse part families. This turning center excels in production environments requiring precision threading, boring, and taper turning. The system's architecture ensures rigid performance during heavy interrupted cuts and extended tool life through optimized feed rates and spindle control. Standard features include automatic tool changers, through-spindle coolant delivery, and EIA/ISO code compatibility for flexible part programming. Additional capabilities encompass synchronized tapping functions and integrated tool-length measurement systems, minimizing setup times and enhancing consistency across production batches. The machine's substantial mass and reinforced bed structure provide exceptional vibration damping, critical for maintaining tight tolerances on large-diameter work.
