MAZAK SLANT TURN NEXUS 600-3000U CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The MAZAK SLANT TURN NEXUS 550 is a heavy-duty CNC turning center equipped with the advanced Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 control system. This machine features a substantial swing diameter of 40.94 inches and accommodates workpieces up to 123.78 inches in length, making it ideal for large-scale turning operations. The 21-inch chuck provides secure workholding for precision machining, while the 60 HP main motor delivers sufficient power for demanding production runs. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 500 RPM, this lathe is engineered for heavy roughing and finishing operations on large-diameter components up to 35.85 inches. The Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 CNC control enables sophisticated programming capabilities, including thread cutting functionality with G33 support and re-threading functions for complex part geometries. The control system supports both Mazatrol and EIA/ISO code input, providing flexibility in programming approaches. Standard features include a 12-position tool turret for efficient tool management and a programmable tailstock with built-in positioning capabilities. The machine incorporates a hinge-type chip conveyor system for continuous chip removal and maintains hydraulic pressure interlocks for operational safety. This combination of rigid construction, powerful spindle motor, and intelligent CNC control makes the SLANT TURN NEXUS 550 well-suited for production environments requiring precision turning of large, complex components with minimal setup time.
