MAZAK NEXUS VCN 510C/40-II – 2008
USED MAZAK NEXUS VCN 510C/40-II – 2008
The MAZAK NEXUS VCN 510C/40-II – 2008 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for precision milling, drilling, tapping, boring, contouring, and general production machining. It combines a large working envelope with a 40-taper spindle, high spindle speed, automatic tool changing, and Mazak’s Mazatrol Matrix Nexus CNC control. The VCN 510C-II is particularly suitable for manufacturers that need more table capacity and travel than a compact VMC while maintaining a practical production-oriented machine configuration.
The documented 2008 VCN 510C-II provides approximately 41.3 inches of X-axis travel, 20.1–20.8 inches of Y-axis travel, and 20.1–20.8 inches of Z-axis travel. The standard table is approximately 51.2 × 21.6 inches, with a maximum evenly distributed table load of approximately 2,640 lbs. Some individual machines have two-pallet configurations, allowing the operator to load one pallet while machining on the other.
The 2008 machine is commonly equipped with a CAT 40 spindle, 12,000 RPM maximum spindle speed, and approximately 25 HP spindle motor. A 30-tool side-mount automatic tool changer is documented on multiple 2008 machines, with tool-to-tool change time around 1.3 seconds. Through-spindle coolant, chip conveyors, automatic tool-length measurement, and Renishaw probing are available on documented configurations.
The MAZAK NEXUS VCN 510C/40-II – 2008 is well suited to aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment, tooling, mold and die, defense, energy, and general precision manufacturing. Its combination of approximately 41-inch X travel, 51-inch table length, 12,000 RPM spindle, and 30-tool ATC makes it capable of handling a wide variety of medium-sized production components while maintaining good access to tooling and workholding.
