MAZAK SLANT TURN NEXUS 550M-2000U CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This advanced 3-axis CNC lathe features a robust 21-inch chuck size, designed for high-capacity turning operations with a maximum turning diameter of 35.8 inches and a swing of 40.9 inches, accommodating large and complex workpieces. The machine delivers 60 HP of power, enabling efficient material removal and precision machining across a wide range of metals and alloys. With a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM, it balances high-speed performance with torque for demanding applications. The machining length extends up to 80.5 inches, providing flexibility for long parts and extended production runs. Equipped with a tailstock, the lathe ensures secure workpiece support and enhanced accuracy during extended turning operations. The CNC control system, MATRIX NEXUS 2 CNC, offers intuitive programming, precise axis management, and seamless integration with modern manufacturing workflows. This control platform supports advanced toolpath strategies, automated cycles, and real-time monitoring for consistent part quality and reduced cycle times. The 3-axis configuration enables simultaneous control of X, Y, and Z axes, allowing for complex contouring, facing, drilling, and milling operations in a single setup. Engineered for heavy-duty industrial environments, the lathe combines structural rigidity, thermal stability, and vibration damping for superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. Its robust construction and high-power spindle make it ideal for aerospace, automotive, energy, and general machining applications requiring reliability, versatility, and high throughput.
