The Mega Turn 500 is a robust vertical CNC turning center engineered for large-part and heavy-duty CNC lathe applications. Designed to be an ideal contract manufacturing machine, it delivers stable, powerful cutting through a vertical configuration ideal for large-diameter components. With a maximum turning diameter of 29.9 inches and a powerful spindle, it ensures precision and productivity across industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, and heavy machinery.
Equipped with Smooth CNC Control, the Mega Turn 500 enhances machining operations with faster cycle times and intelligent automation. In addition, the user-friendly interface simplifies part programming and reduces operator setup time. The Smooth CNC control system also integrates diagnostics and real-time monitoring to improve workflow and uptime. As a result, this control system is essential for boosting throughput on a tooling CNC lathe used in dynamic shop-floor environments.
The vertical layout and rigid construction of the Mega Turn 500 allows it to handle complex and bulky parts efficiently. Its structure promotes excellent chip flow and thermal stability—critical for extended roughing and finishing cycles. As a result, this vertical CNC turning center supports high-precision, repeatable output while enabling better ergonomics and operator access. It’s an optimal platform for high-torque cutting, precision boring, and fine surface finishing in modern machine shops.
