Mazak will showcasemore than 20 high-performance machine tools at IMTS 2012. Among those machines is the new SLANT TURN NEXUS 600M that is designed to efficiently tackle large-part turning applications such as oil field pipes, pipeline control valves, turbine wheels, aircraft and off-road parts and the production of power-generating components for the aerospace, oil, gas, coal and nuclear industries. The SLANT TURN NEXUS 600M employs a headstock with a 14.75” (375mm) diameter bore mounted on a 60 HP,500 RPM turning spindle that generates up to 5,162 ft-lbs of torque for heavy-duty cutting. The spindle is also used as a C-axis, capable of being indexed at 0.001-degree increments to accurately position parts for slotting cuts and precisely drilled holes. Additionally, the C-axis spindle is a full-function CNC controlled axis for milling. For convenient tool management, the SLANT TURNNEXUS 600Mutilizes a 12-position drum turret for rapid tool indexing. The machine is also equipped with a 10 HP,4,000 RPMmilling spindle for roughing, grooving, end milling and face milling operations, allowing many processes to be completed in a single machine cycle. An optional 15 HP, 3,000 RPM milling spindle is also available.Furthermore, optional single or double steady rests provide additional workpiece support. The machine’sNC servo-driven tailstock enables automated processes and is fully programmable, driving the Waxis on its own AC servomotor and ball screw. Through the part program, the tailstock will retract to a known position and its center makes contact with the part with consistent holding pressure. Further, because of its positive independent drive system, the tailstock will drill holes on a shaft centerline, adding versatility to the jobs it can process. Mazak’s MAZATROL MATRIX NEXUS CNC control on the SLANT TURN NEXUS 600Mis designed to simplify multi-tasking metalworking operations.Its conversational and EIA/ISO part programming provides versatility and user-friendly operation, the company said. It features a 12” LCD color display that offers higher visibility for a large amount of data and the QWERTY keyboard.Apointing device, acting like a mouse, and USB port for downloading programs are also included. In addition to running real-world application cutting demonstrations on the SLANT TURN NEXUS 600M at IMTS,Mazak will also feature other advanced machining technologies for a wide variety of industry segments. Additionally, IMTS attendeeswill get to experience a brand new Mazak booth as well as learn about a new 3-4-5 concept for better tailoring Mazak machines to specificmanufacturing applications, the company said.
