Our best estimate for the Mazak SLANT TURN 500M is $260,000 - $420,000. 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-500m#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Mazak's model list gives the configuration of the SLANT TURN 500M as Milling. In the table that appears as a rotary tool spindle in the turret: 4,000 rpm, with a motor rated 7.5 kW (10 HP) and 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) on a 4 min rating and 1.5 kW (2 HP) continuous. The SLANT TURN 500 has no such rows and is the turning-only machine.
The rotary tool spindle reaches 4,000 rpm. On a 4 min rating the motor gives 7.5 kW (10 HP) and 70 ft-lb (95 Nm); continuously it gives 1.5 kW (2 HP). That is enough for drilling, tapping and intermittent milling, but long cuts must be sized to the continuous figure. Mazak offers a high-torque version of the milling spindle as an option.
The table does not list one. Travels are given for X, 18 in (457 mm), and for Z, 46 in (1,168 mm), and the configuration on Mazak's model list is Milling with no Y-axis entry. If a part needs milling away from the spindle centerline, raise it with Mazak before ordering.
Maximum turning diameter is Ø36 in (914 mm) and maximum turning length is 43 in (1,092 mm) on the Chucker bed. The chuck is an 18 in size, the spindle bore is Ø7 in (178 mm) and the main spindle runs to 1,600 rpm with 37 kW (50 HP) continuous.
The SLANT TURN 550M has a larger Ø11 in (279 mm) bore and a 21 in chuck, a lower 1,000 rpm top speed and 41 in (1,041 mm) of turning length, at 30,864 lb (14,000 kg). This model trades bore for speed: Ø7 in (178 mm) and 1,600 rpm. The rotary tool spindle and the Ø36 in (914 mm) turning diameter are the same on both tables.
