2015 MAZAK VARIAXIS i800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2015 Mazak VARIAXIS i800 is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Mazak's i-Series, engineered for simultaneous five-axis contouring of large, heavy workpieces requiring both substantial table capacity and high spindle torque. At the top of the standard VARIAXIS i-Series range, the i800 employs a CAT-50 taper spindle and a large trunnion table to handle oversized aerospace structures, large turbine housings, heavy mechanical assemblies, and large die and mold components. The trunnion table measures 31.5 inches in diameter with a 24.8-inch usable working width, accommodating workpieces up to 39.4 inches in diameter and 19.7 inches in height with a 2,205-pound load capacity. Axis travels measure 28.7 inches in X, 33.5 inches in Y, and 22.1 inches in Z, with A-axis tilt from +30 to -120 degrees and continuous C-axis rotation. The CAT-50 spindle delivers 40 HP continuously and reaches a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, optimized for high-torque operations in titanium, Inconel, and hardened steel. At 43,210 pounds, the i800 provides the structural mass required for maintaining dimensional accuracy during aggressive five-axis interpolation. The overall footprint measures 106.1 by 214.2 inches with a height of 138.4 inches. The machine is equipped with the Mazatrol SmoothX CNC, Mazak's advanced conversational platform supporting five-axis solid-model programming, predictive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 connectivity. The VARIAXIS i800 is the platform of choice for aerospace, energy, and defense manufacturers requiring large-format five-axis capability with the highest torque in the VARIAXIS i-Series lineup.
