How much does the Mazak Nexus 3000 cost?
Estimated price range
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 Nexus 3000 is listed here as a turning center with a 305 mm (12 in) chuck, a maximum workpiece diameter of 460 mm (18.11 in) and a turning length of 1,016 mm (40 in). It is not in Mazak's current lineup and may be an older model. Treat every figure below as a listed value and confirm it against the plate and manual of the actual machine, particularly when assessing a second-hand one.
The listed proportions are those of a shaft lathe. Z travel is 1,050 mm (41.3 in) against 260 mm (10.24 in) of X, and the swing over the bed is 760 mm (29.9 in), well above the 460 mm (18.11 in) turning diameter. The table has no tailstock, steady rest or second spindle rows, so how a part 1,016 mm (40 in) long is supported is one of the first things to establish on a specific machine.
The listed spindle is 30 kW (40 hp) at up to 3,000 RPM, with an A2-11 nose and a bar capacity of 91 mm (3.58 in). No duty rating accompanies the power figure, so it should not be assumed to be continuous. The turret has 12 positions, and nothing in the table points to driven tools or a Y-axis. Rapids are listed at 20 m/min in X and in Z, and the machine weight at 6,500 kg (14,330 lb).
The listed control is MAZATROL Fusion 640T. On a machine of this kind, check that the control fitted matches the listing and that it does what the planned work needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. It does not appear in Mazak's current lineup and may be an older model. The figures on this page are listed values, so anyone looking at a specific machine should confirm travels, spindle rating and control against its plate and documentation.
02
The listed maximum workpiece diameter is 460 mm (18.11 in), the turning length 1,016 mm (40 in) and the swing over the bed 760 mm (29.9 in). The chuck is listed at 305 mm (12 in) and the bar capacity at 91 mm (3.58 in). Travels are 260 mm (10.24 in) in X and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in Z.
03
The table lists a 12-position turret and X and Z travels, with no driven-tool, Y-axis or second spindle rows. On that evidence it is a two-axis lathe. Check the individual machine, since the listing is all there is to go on.
04
The listed control is MAZATROL Fusion 640T. The spindle is listed at 30 kW (40 hp) with a top speed of 3,000 RPM and an A2-11 nose. The table gives no duty rating for the power figure and no torque figure, so ask for the motor data of the machine in question.
