Its rigid design and precision manufacturing processes provide positioning accuracy, supporting optimal part quality across long production runs.
The Specht 500 NG features a spacious work envelope (630 × 630 × 860 mm) and supports multiple configurations, including:
- Four-axis and full five-axis (B- over A-axis) machining
- High-performance rotary tables with torque motors and glass scales
- Optional pallet changer
A range of MAG-built motorized spindles provides the speed, torque and reliability required for demanding applications.
Designed for efficiency, the Specht 500 NG integrates advanced automation capabilities:
- Front and top loading options for gantries and robots
- Standard 44-tool magazine with optional expansion up to 121 tools
- Automated tool identification and broken tool detection
- Compact, high-speed pallet changing system
- Custom HMI screens for ease of operation, along with Industry 4.0 options for real-time process monitoring and simple FIS connectivity
These features enable manufacturers to increase uptime, reduce cycle times and optimize throughput.
The machine also incorporates energy-saving technologies, including:
- Regenerative drive systems with average consumption of 24 kVA
- Servo mechanical intensive design combined with start-stop hydraulics limits heat generation and wasted energy
- Automatic shutdown of auxiliary systems during idle periods
- Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and coolant system options for machine, cell or plant-based filtration to limit water consumption and waste streams
These innovations help reduce operating costs while supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
Equipped with a FANUC 31i-B CNC (standard) or optional Siemens Sinumerik I control, the Specht 500 NG offers processing, multiaxis capability and intuitive operation. A user-friendly interface and centralized maintenance access simplify daily operation and service.
