Our best estimate for the Mazak NEXUS 510C-II is $95,000 – $160,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/mazak-nexus-510c-ii-vmc#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
It is not in Mazak's current lineup. Anyone buying one used should confirm from the machine which spindle (12,000 or 15,000 RPM), which taper (CAT 40 or BT 40) and which magazine (30 or 60 tools) it has, because the listed table shows an option for each.
Listed travels are 1,020 mm (40.2 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. The table is 1,150 x 510 mm (45.3 x 20.1 in), and the maximum workpiece weight is 800 kg (1,764 lb).
The listed rating is 18.5 kW (25 hp) at 25% ED and 11 kW (15 hp) continuous, with 119 Nm (88 ft-lb) of torque at 25% ED. Top speed is 12,000 RPM, or 15,000 RPM with the optional spindle.
Tools up to 100 mm (3.94 in) in diameter, 350 mm (13.8 in) long and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The standard magazine holds 30 tools and a 60-tool magazine is listed as an option.
The FJV-250 has the same 40.16 in (1,020 mm) of X and 20.08 in (510 mm) of Y, with 18.11 in (460 mm) of Z against the 510 mm (20.1 in) listed for the NEXUS 510C-II. The FJV-250 spindle is rated 15 kW (20 HP) continuous at up to 12,000 rpm, where the NEXUS 510C-II is listed at 11 kW (15 hp) continuous. Table load on the FJV-250 is 2,645 lb (1,200 kg), against a listed 800 kg (1,764 lb) here.
