Our best estimate for the Mazak Slant Turn is $250,000 - $550,000. This is an estimate for a cnc lathes / turning centers 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-slant-turn#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Mainly in spindle bore, chuck and top speed. The SLANT TURN 500 has a Ø7 in (178 mm) bore, an 18 in chuck and 1,600 rpm. The SLANT TURN 550 has a Ø11 in (279 mm) bore, a 21 in chuck and 1,000 rpm. The SLANT TURN 600 has a Ø15 in (381 mm) bore, a 21 in chuck and 500 rpm. All three turn Ø36 in (914 mm) with 18 in (457 mm) of X and 37 kW (50 HP) continuous.
Mazak states a maximum machining diameter of Ø33.86 in and machining lengths of 118.62 in to 158.78 in for it. Its headstock uses a 4 step hydraulic gear shift where the 500, 550 and 600 use a two-step gear shift. The tailstock provides up to 35 kN of hydraulic thrust and its quill extends 9.84 in. Mazak's list shows no M version of it.
The table lists Chucker, 2000U and 3000U, with maximum turning lengths from 40 in (1,016 mm) to 80 in (2,032 mm). The SLANT TURN 500 has 41 in (1,041 mm) of turning length on 46 in (1,168 mm) of Z. The SLANT TURN 600 has 79 in (2,007 mm) on 85 in (2,159 mm) of Z. Mazak's series text quotes machining lengths up to 161.38 in for the 500, 550 and 600 and mentions a 4000U bed.
Rapid traverse runs from 472 ipm (12 m/min) to 787 ipm (20 m/min) in X and from 551 ipm (14 m/min) to 945 ipm (24 m/min) in Z. The SLANT TURN 500 is at the upper figure on both axes, 787 ipm (20 m/min) and 945 ipm (24 m/min).
The turret holds 12 tools to 15 tools depending on the model, with a 1 in (25 mm) tool shank height and Ø2 in (51 mm) boring bars. On the 500, 550 and 600 the tailstock quill extends 250 mm, so long and short shafts can be supported without removing the steady rest. The self-propelled steady rest is optional and takes work up to Ø16.14 in.
Machine weight runs from 30,423 lb (13,800 kg) to 49,720 lb (22,553 kg). The SLANT TURN 500 sits at the light end with 30,423 lb (13,800 kg). The SLANT TURN 550 weighs 30,864 lb (14,000 kg). The SLANT TURN 600, on its longer bed, weighs 39,242 lb (17,800 kg). Machine height is 103 in (2,616 mm).
