1998 MAZAK VCN510C VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1998 Mazak VCN510C is a 3-axis vertical machining center and one of Mazak's most widely produced VMC platforms, recognized for its balanced combination of table capacity, spindle performance, and proven reliability in production environments. The machine features a 1,300 x 550 mm work table with X-axis travel of 41.3 inches, Y-axis travel of 20.0 inches, and Z-axis travel of 20.0 inches, accommodating a broad range of medium-to-large workpieces. The No. 40 taper spindle reaches 12,000 RPM maximum speed with 10 HP continuous power output, supporting efficient cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials across roughing and finishing operations. A 30-tool automatic tool changer enables complex multi-operation setups to be completed without operator intervention, improving throughput and reducing setup time. Box-way construction delivers the rigidity and vibration damping that distinguish Mazak's Nexus platform, contributing to consistent surface finish and tight tolerances even on difficult materials. Rapid traverse of 1,417 IPM across all axes minimizes cycle time. Integrated thermal compensation maintains positional accuracy throughout extended production runs. The Mazatrol CNC provides conversational and EIA/ISO programming, integrated tool management, and networking capability for DNC and CAM integration. The VCN510C is applied across automotive, aerospace, medical, energy, and general machining sectors for production of housings, brackets, manifolds, fixtures, and complex prismatic components. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 122 x 120 x 113 inches and the machine weighs approximately 15,200 lbs.
