2011 MAZAK VCS430A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2011 Mazak VCS430A is a 3-axis vertical machining center featuring a factory-integrated automatic pallet changer, enabling continuous production by alternating two pallets while the spindle remains in cycle. The machine is built on the 430-class platform with a 900 x 430 mm table, X-axis travel of 22.05 inches, Y-axis travel of 16.93 inches, and Z-axis travel of 20.08 inches. The slightly wider 430 mm table versus the 410-class accommodates a broader range of workpiece sizes. The No. 40 taper spindle reaches 12,000 RPM maximum speed with 10 HP continuous power, providing the speed and torque range for diverse production machining requirements. The APC system allows concurrent loading, unloading, and fixturing on one pallet while the machine cuts on the other, supporting lights-out and near-unmanned production scenarios. A 30-tool ATC enables complete complex setups without manual tool changes. The Mazatrol Matrix CNC provides conversational and EIA/ISO programming with pallet management, tool management, thermal compensation, and DNC networking. Box-way construction maintains rigidity and accuracy across extended production shifts. The VCS430A is applied to high-volume prismatic part production across automotive, aerospace, medical device, and general contract manufacturing sectors. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 87.4 x 104.3 x 109.4 inches and the machine weighs approximately 10,600 lbs.
