Summary

The Mazak MEGA TURN 500S is a vertical CNC turning center designed for heavy-duty machining of large workpieces and supports integrated milling operations. Its traveling column architecture allows for an expanded machining area unrestricted by cross rail interference, making it suitable for high-volume production of large components. Key features include automatic tool changing, 12-position turret, and high-rigidity construction for machining heavy materials with high material removal rates.

Key Capabilities

• Conducts vertical CNC turning with integrated secondary milling operations
• Supports heavy workpieces up to 1102 lbs and large diameters up to 20"
• Features a traveling column design eliminating machining diameter restrictions from structural components
• Equipped with a 12-tool turret and automatic tool changer
• High-torque spindle (up to 596 ft-lbs) for demanding material removal at rates up to 58.6 in³/min
• Rapid traverse on both X and Z axes at 1181 IPM
• Allows mirror-image configurations and multi-machine line setups to optimize workflow and operator efficiency
