MAZAK VARIAXIS I-1050 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK VARIAXIS i-1050 is a sophisticated 5-axis vertical machining center engineered for advanced simultaneous multi-surface machining operations. This machine excels at processing large, complex parts in single setups, making it particularly valuable for aerospace, heavy construction, and energy sector applications. The rigid No. 50 spindle operates at a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and is available in standard, high-speed, and high-torque configurations to accommodate diverse application requirements. With generous travel capabilities spanning 47.24 inches (X-axis), 54.53 inches (Y-axis), and 35.43 inches (Z-axis), the machine accommodates workpieces up to 49.21 inches in diameter and 35.43 inches high, weighing up to 4,409 pounds. The trunnion-style tilt table design eliminates interference with milling operations while reducing setup and changeover times. Precision 5-axis machining is achieved through roller gear cams on the swiveling A-axis and direct-drive motor control of the rotary C-axis, ensuring high-speed, high-accuracy performance. The standard 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) can be expanded to 120 tools for enhanced flexibility, while optional two-pallet changers maximize spindle utilization. Multiple spindle connection options—including BT, BBT, HSK-T100, and CAPTO C8—provide adaptability for varied production needs. High-pressure rapid traverse rates, advanced probing capabilities, and integration with the PALLETECH automation system support lights-out operations and significantly improve overall productivity.
