Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Mazak MEGA TURN 600M pairs a 2,200 rpm turning spindle with a 4,000 rpm rotary-tool spindle on a machine that turns up to Ø24 in (610 mm) and carries 1,543 lb (700 kg). Milling is the configuration Mazak's model list gives for it, and it is the reason to choose it over the turning-only MEGA TURN 600.

The two spindles are far apart in strength, and the ratings show it. Turning torque is 738 ft-lb (1,001 Nm) (15%ED); rotary-tool torque is 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) at a 10%ED rating, about a tenth as much. Turning power is 22 kW (30 HP) continuous and 30 kW (40 HP) (40% ED), while the rotary-tool motor gives 5.5 kW (7 HP) continuous and 7.5 kW (10 HP) (10%ED). Plan the process to match: take the diameters, faces and bores with the fixed tools, then bring in the driven tools for holes, slots and flats before the part is unclamped.

Adding milling trims the diameter slightly. The MEGA TURN 600 is listed at Ø25 in (635 mm) and this model at Ø24 in (610 mm), and Mazak's series page brackets the pair as 23.62 in to 24.8 in. Load, travels and weight do not move: 1,543 lb (700 kg), 14 in (356 mm) of X, 20 in (508 mm) of Z and 21,605 lb (9,800 kg) apply to both.

The turret holds 12 tools, with a 1 in (25 mm) shank height and boring bars to Ø2 in (51 mm), and the table has no Y-axis row. The machine stands 118 in (2,997 mm) high on a 73 in (1,854 mm) × 94 in (2,388 mm) footprint quoted with MAZATROL SmoothEz, and rapids are 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) in X and Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two spindles in one setup: 2,200 rpm for turning and 4,000 rpm for rotary tools
738 ft-lb (1,001 Nm) of turning torque (15%ED) with 30 kW (40 HP) (40% ED) and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous
Same 1,543 lb (700 kg) table load, travels and 21,605 lb (9,800 kg) weight as the MEGA TURN 600
Rotary-tool motor rated 5.5 kW (7 HP) continuous, enough to keep drilling cycles off a second machine
Available in mirror-image versions for two-machine layouts run by a single operator

Limitations

Maximum turning diameter is Ø24 in (610 mm), less than the Ø25 in (635 mm) of the MEGA TURN 600
Rotary-tool torque of 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) is a 10%ED figure and about a tenth of the turning torque
No Y-axis row in the table; the model list configuration is Milling only
Z travel of 20 in (508 mm) is no longer than on the MEGA TURN 500M, which also runs faster at 3,000 rpm

Best For

Turned parts up to Ø24 in (610 mm) that also need drilled or milled features Heavy parts, to 1,543 lb (700 kg), that are slow to move between machines Bolt-hole and slot work within the 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) (10%ED) rotary-tool torque Combining turning and milling in a single clamping

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the MEGA TURN 600M and the MEGA TURN 600?

The M model has a rotary-tool spindle: 4,000 rpm, 5.5 kW (7 HP) continuous, 7.5 kW (10 HP) and 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) at 10%ED. Its maximum turning diameter is Ø24 in (610 mm), where the MEGA TURN 600 is listed at Ø25 in (635 mm). Table load, X and Z travel, rapids and machine weight are the same.

02 What kind of milling can the rotary-tool spindle do?

Light work. The motor is rated 5.5 kW (7 HP) continuous and 7.5 kW (10 HP) at 10%ED, and torque peaks at 70 ft-lb (95 Nm) at 10%ED, at speeds up to 4,000 rpm. That suits drilling, small end mills and shallow slots or flats. Heavy face milling is outside what those ratings support.

03 How much can the table carry?

1,543 lb (700 kg). The MEGA TURN 500M is rated for 1,102 lb (500 kg) and the MEGA TURN 900M for 6,614 lb (3,000 kg), so this model sits near the light end of the series. Check with Mazak whether the figure includes workholding before planning a part close to the limit.

04 Does the MEGA TURN 600M take a pallet changer?

Mazak lists the two-pallet changer as an option for the 900 and 900M, and this model is not named. Mirror-image versions are offered for this size, which Mazak describes as a way for one operator to run two machines with less walking between them and less floor space.

05 What are the installation dimensions?

The footprint is 73 in (1,854 mm) × 94 in (2,388 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothEz control, and the machine is 118 in (2,997 mm) tall. It weighs 21,605 lb (9,800 kg), so confirm floor loading and the overhead clearance on the route into the shop.
