2015 MAZAK VCS510C VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2015 Mazak VCS510C is a 3-axis vertical machining center equipped with an integrated automatic pallet changer (APC), the pallet-equipped counterpart to the VCN510C. Designed for high-mix, high-productivity environments, the VCS510C allows workpiece loading and unloading to occur simultaneously with machining, significantly reducing non-cut time. The machine features a 51.18 x 21.65 in. pallet with a maximum load capacity of 2,646 lbs. Axis travels measure 41.34 in. in X, 20.08 in. in Y, and 20.08 in. in Z, providing a versatile machining envelope suitable for medium-to-large components. The CAT 40 spindle reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM with a continuous output of 10 HP (7.5 kW), supported by a 30-tool automatic tool changer for efficient part processing. Rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM on all axes ensure fast positioning. The 2015 build is equipped with Mazatrol Matrix CNC, offering conversational and EIA/ISO programming with full 3-axis interpolation. The Mazatrol Matrix control provides an intuitive operator interface and supports advanced machining functions including tool life management and in-process gauging. The machine's robust cast-iron construction and box-way guideways deliver the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy across production runs. With a machine weight of approximately 15,180 lbs and a compact footprint relative to its pallet changer capability, the VCS510C is well-suited for automated cell integration in aerospace, mold, die, and general precision machining applications.
