1994 MAZAK V515 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1994 Mazak V515 is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering a step up in work envelope from the V414, designed for versatile milling of medium-sized components across a wide range of industries. The V515 provides axis travels of 19.7 inches in X, 17.7 inches in Y, and 20.1 inches in Z, accommodating parts that require moderate table area combined with substantial Z-axis reach for deep-cavity and tall-workpiece applications. The spindle delivers 15 HP continuously and reaches a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, providing sufficient cutting force for steel and cast iron while maintaining the surface-speed capability needed for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. At approximately 10,000 pounds, the V515 has the structural mass to maintain machining accuracy under sustained cutting loads and resist thermal deformation during long production cycles. The machine is equipped with the Mazatrol M-Plus conversational CNC, allowing operators to create programs interactively at the control using a graphical, conversational interface. An automatic tool changer enables multi-tool operations to be completed in a single setup, reducing cycle time and operator intervention. The V515's combination of proven mechanical design, practical work envelope, and Mazatrol programming ease makes it a dependable platform for job shops, toolrooms, and precision manufacturers producing components in low to medium volumes.
