MAZAK VARIAXIS I-300 AWC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAZAK VARIAXIS i-300 AWC is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center designed for precision and versatility in complex part manufacturing. It features a BT-40 spindle taper with a standard spindle speed of 12,000 RPM, and an optional maximum speed of 18,000 RPM, driven by a 29.76 HP (40% duty) motor providing continuous power of 20.24 HP. The machine offers travel axes of 13.78 inches (X), 21.65 inches (Y), and 20.08 inches (Z), with the A-axis (table tilt) spanning -120° to +30° and a full 360° rotation on the C-axis, enabling full 5-axis simultaneous machining. The work holder diameter is 5.12 inches with a maximum workpiece size of 13.78 inches by 12.40 inches and a load capacity of 143.3 lbs. Rapid traverse rates are 236.22, 220.47, and 196.85 inches/min for the X, Y, and Z axes respectively, with acceleration of 0.7G for efficient high-speed movement. Tool management supports a 145-tool magazine with maximum tool diameters up to 5.12 inches (with adjacent pockets) and a maximum tool length of 13.78 inches, supporting tools weighing up to 17.64 lbs. The machine employs linear roller guides and a high-rigidity table structure for stable and precise machining, enhanced by ball screw core cooling to minimize thermal distortion. The VARIAXIS i-300 AWC includes a high-capacity Auto Work Changer (AWC) system facilitating unmanned, continuous operation with low noise levels under 80 dB at operator position. Its compact footprint occupies approximately 135.83 by 194.29 inches, with a machine height of 116.73 inches. This center is optimized for complex, multi-face, high-precision parts in aerospace, automotive, and mold making industries through its DONE IN ONE® processing capabilities.
