2005 Mazak Nexus 510C CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2005 Mazak Nexus 510C CNC Vertical Machining Center is a 3-axis production platform designed for accuracy, rigidity, and speed in compact form. It offers travels of 41.3-inch in X, 20-inch in Y, and 20-inch in Z with a 51 x 21-inch table capable of supporting 2646 pounds of evenly distributed load. Its CAT40 taper spindle runs to 12000 RPM, powered by a 25-horsepower vector drive delivering smooth torque across a wide speed range. Rapid traverses reach 1417 IPM, and cutting feeds approach 787 IPM, ensuring agile motion across all axes. A 30-station side-mount automatic tool changer and Mazatrol 640M Nexus CNC control provide both conversational and G-code programming flexibility, ideal for mold, aerospace, and general manufacturing.

Compared with the earlier VTC-series mills, the Nexus 510C improves both rigidity and spindle response with Mazak’s thermal-balanced design and faster side-mount changer. Through-spindle coolant and chip conveyor enhance unattended operation, while the integrated 4th-axis rotary option allows full 3 + 1 machining for complex components without repositioning. The result is a refined vertical machining center combining the dependability of Mazak construction with high-speed precision for modern production.
