Mazak MEGATURN 500M

The MEGA TURN 500M Vertical Turning Center brings unmatched speed, torque and accuracy to large part production. Especially beneficial in automotive manufacturing applications, the small-footprint machine is easily automated within a minimal amount of floor space. Designed and built in the Mazak Kentucky manufacturing plant, the MEGA TURN 500M has a powerful integral spindle/motor headstock that minimizes vibration and generates high-torque for big part machining. The machine’s vertical orientation works with gravity for easier loading and unloading and assists in chip evacuation. As an M configuration, the machine has a rotary tool spindle that allows it to perform secondary machining operations such as milling and drilling. As a result, shops can process parts in a single machine cycle for an overall boost in productivity and workpiece accuracy. MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS: High-torque integral spindle/motor for heavy-duty machining Rigid 12-position drum turret for rapid t ool indexing Rotary tool milling capabilities improve overall productivity Accurate C-axis indexing Optional automatic tool changer adds flexibility for all static tooling Linear roller guides provide rigidity and positioning accuracy Efficient chip disposal prevents heat from affecting the machine bed Vertical design allows for easy workpiece loading/unloading Available in mirrored left/right configurations for easy workpiece transfer
