Ease of programming influenced CNC purchase
One of the world's most respected names in the design and manufacture of competition motorcycle equipment has opted for machine tools supplied by Mazak.
The new Quick Turn Nexus 350M has three axes and a milling function while the smaller Quick Turn Nexus 250MS was demonstrated making use of its second spindle to achieve done-in-one machining.
The rotary tools can be mounted on all positions of the 12 drum turret for highly efficient machining while the quick change format of tool holder can be loaded or unloaded by a single turn of a wrench for minimised set-up times.
The machines feature a small footprint combined with a large machining envelope.
