2017 MAZAK VARIAXIS i700 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Mazak VARIAXIS i700 is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Mazak's i-Series, designed for simultaneous five-axis contouring of large, complex workpieces requiring both a generous work envelope and high spindle capability. The VARIAXIS i700 features a trunnion table with a 27.6-inch diameter table surface and 19.7-inch usable working width, accommodating workpieces up to 33.5 inches in diameter and 19.7 inches in height with a 1,543-pound load capacity. Axis travels measure 24.8 inches in X, 43.3 inches in Y, and 23.6 inches in Z — the extended Y stroke of 43.3 inches being a defining characteristic that enables machining of unusually tall or elongated components. The A-axis tilts from +30 to -120 degrees with continuous C-axis rotation. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM and produces 30 HP continuously, with 47 HP available at the 40-percent duty cycle, providing robust cutting capability for titanium, Inconel, hardened steel, and aluminum. Rapid traverse of 2,362 IPM and a compact chip-to-chip tool change time support efficient cycle times on complex multi-feature programs. At 33,069 pounds, the i700's structural mass enables the rigidity required for accurate large-format five-axis interpolation. The overall footprint measures 94.5 by 162.2 inches with a height of 136.1 inches. The machine is equipped with the Mazatrol SmoothX CNC, Mazak's advanced conversational platform with five-axis solid-model programming, AI-assisted features, and Industry 4.0 connectivity. The VARIAXIS i700 is a premier choice for aerospace, energy, and heavy-equipment manufacturers requiring large five-axis work envelopes with high positional accuracy.
