Our best estimate for the Mazak SLANT TURN 550 is $280,000 - $450,000. 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-550#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Mazak lists a Ø11 in (279 mm) spindle bore with a 21 in chuck. That is the middle size of the family: the SLANT TURN 500 has Ø7 in (178 mm) and the SLANT TURN 600 has Ø15 in (381 mm). The usable through-hole depends on the chuck and draw tube fitted, so confirm it for the stock you plan to run.
Speed falls as the bore grows in this family. The SLANT TURN 500 runs to 1,600 rpm with a Ø7 in (178 mm) bore, this model to 1,000 rpm with Ø11 in (279 mm), and the SLANT TURN 600 to 500 rpm with Ø15 in (381 mm). A larger bore means larger spindle bearings, which is the usual reason for a lower speed limit.
The table on this page is for the Chucker bed and lists a maximum turning length of 40 in (1,016 mm) with 46 in (1,168 mm) of Z travel. Mazak quotes machining lengths from 40" to 161.38" across the SLANT TURN 500, 550 and 600 series, so ask about the longer center distances if the work is shaft-like.
Yes. Mazak configures the SLANT TURN 550M with Milling, and that model's table adds a 4,000 rpm rotary tool spindle and lists 41 in (1,041 mm) of turning length. Bore, chuck and main spindle speed match this model: Ø11 in (279 mm), 21 in and 1,000 rpm.
Mazak offers a self-run automatic steady rest as an option in the series, with a maximum size of Ø16.14". It states that on the SLANT TURN 500, 550 and 600 series the option is only compatible with the 2000U / 3000U / 4000U beds. The table on this page is for the Chucker bed, so a steady rest means choosing one of the longer beds.
