MAZAK VCC-5X 20K VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust 50 HP spindle delivering up to 20,000 RPM, ideal for high-speed machining operations requiring both power and precision. It offers substantial machining envelopes with axis travels of 19.6" (X), 16.9" (Y), and 20.08" (Z), accommodating a diverse range of workpiece sizes and complex geometries. Equipped with a 30-position Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), it ensures efficient tool management and minimal downtime during production runs. The spindle taper conforms to the CAT-40 standard, which provides a secure, accurate connection between spindle and tooling, characterized by a 7/24 taper angle supporting versatile machining applications with enhanced rigidity and reduced chatter. This configuration supports precise tool holding and quick tool changes, critical for maintaining machining accuracy and tool life. The machine’s design is optimized for demanding milling tasks involving metals and alloys, delivering a balance of high power, high spindle speed, and substantial travel ranges to support various industrial manufacturing workflows. It is suitable for heavy-duty milling, die making, injection molding components, and aerospace part fabrication, where rigid and precise machining is essential. The combination of spindle power and rapid spindle speed, plus a high-capacity ATC and a widely recognized CAT-40 taper interface, positions this machine well for demanding production environments requiring a wide range of tool versatility and high throughput.
