Summary

The Mazak SLANT TURN 550 is a heavy-duty CNC slant bed lathe engineered for powerful turning and milling operations on large-diameter and long shaft workpieces. It offers high-torque spindle performance, strong rigidity, and advanced features for efficient processing of demanding parts. CNC-controlled steady rest and tailstock enable flexible support for both long and short shafts, streamlining large-part machining setups.

Key Capabilities

• Capable of heavy turning and milling for large-diameter shafts (up to 36") and long workpieces (up to 40")
• High-torque, two-range geared spindle for both speed and demanding cutting loads
• CNC-operated automatic steady rest, accommodating up to 16.14" and repositionable for setup efficiency
• Tailstock with 9.84" quill extension for adaptable support of varying shaft lengths
• Milling capability on turret comparable to small machining centers
• 12-station turret for tool versatility
