MAZAK VC-500A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC machining center features a robust working envelope with X, Y, and Z axis travels of 21.85", 19.88", and 20.07" respectively, enabling the machining of moderately large parts. The machine incorporates high-speed rapid traverse rates of 1,181 IPM on all three axes, facilitating efficient positioning and cycle times. Its table measures 19.7" x 19.7" and supports a maximum load of 441 lbs, suitable for substantial workpieces within the dimensional constraints. Equipped with a powerful 15 HP spindle motor, it operates at speeds up to 10,000 RPM through a 40 CT spindle taper, providing ample power and precision for various cutting tasks. The tool changer accommodates 30 tools, enhancing automation and reducing setup times for complex jobs. Multi-axis capability includes a B axis swivel from +110° to -110° and a full 360° C axis rotation, supporting intricate machining operations and full contouring. The maximum workpiece diameter accommodated is 19.68" with a height limit of 12", and the adjustable spindle nose travel ranges between 4.53" and 24.61", allowing flexible tool access and setup. Overall machine dimensions are 118.5" x 99" x 118", with a substantial weight of 11,000 lbs, reflecting a sturdy build optimized for stability and vibration control essential for precision milling. This configuration suits mid-to-high complexity aerospace, automotive, and mold-making applications that demand reliable multi-axis precision and high throughput.
