The MN500L is a compact slant-bed CNC lathe for bar and disc parts, with an A2-6 spindle and a 65 mm bore feeding 50 mm bar at up to 4,000 rpm. A 12-station horizontal turret and 8-inch hydraulic chuck suit shafts, bushings, bolts and connector bodies.

Why does a slant bed beat a flat bed on bar work?

A flat bed lets chips pile up on the ways, and a long bar-fed run then needs constant clearing. The MN500L's slanted bed sheds chips straight into the conveyor, so an unattended bar-fed shift keeps cutting while a flat-bed machine would be stopped for cleaning — which is exactly what a connector factory running three shifts needs.

• 50 mm bar capacity, 320 mm turning diameter
• A2-6 spindle, 65 mm bore, 4,000 rpm
• 12-station horizontal turret, 25x25 mm shanks
• Hydraulic tailstock, MT4 quill

Against a flat-bed lathe, the slant bed buys chip evacuation and thermal stability, so the same part holds tolerance through a full unattended run.
