MAZAK Variaxis 500-5X LL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK Variaxis 500-5X LL is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center equipped with an advanced Mazatrol Matrix CNC control system. It features a 19" x 15" table capable of supporting up to 661 pounds, with travel ranges of 20" on both the X and Y axes and 18" on the Z axis. The machine’s B axis rotary precision allows 0.001° incremental movement, while the A axis rotates +/- 150° (-120° to +30°), enabling complex multi-axis machining. The spindle uses an HSK-63A taper and operates at speeds up to 12,000 rpm powered by a robust 30 hp main motor, optimized for efficient cutting and high-speed machining. The machine includes a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) and coolant-through-spindle capability, enhancing versatility and process stability for difficult materials. Its substantial footprint (110" x 115" x 109") and weight (26,000 pounds) reflect its industrial-grade build suitable for demanding applications. The Mazatrol Matrix control supports conversational programming with a 15" touch screen and 3D model visualization for intuitive operation, significantly reducing programming time and errors. It allows simultaneous control of multiple axes, supports large program storage (up to 20GB), and integrates AI-based optimization features for efficient machining cycles. The control’s flexible layout, customizable display, and advanced automation contribute to enhanced productivity and precise, complex machining tasks, making the Variaxis 500-5X LL ideal for aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing sectors.
