MAZAK VCU-500 A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Mazak VCU-500 A Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance, 5-axis CNC machine designed for precision machining of complex parts. It features two 19.68" x 19.68" square pallets with tapped holes, enabling efficient workpiece setup and changeover. The machine offers X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 19.80", 19.80", and 20.00" respectively, providing ample workspace for a variety of part sizes. Cutting feed rates reach up to 945 IPM, ensuring rapid material removal and reduced cycle times. The spindle utilizes a CAT#40 taper and operates at speeds up to 12,000 RPM, powered by a robust 15 HP motor for reliable performance across materials such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Tool management is streamlined with a 30-tool side-mount magazine and optional tool presetter and tool parts probe for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Control is handled via a versatile CNC system with Ethernet/LAN connectivity, synchronized tapping (G84), rotation and scaling functions, expanded memory, and a 2MB program storage capacity. Additional features include shape compensation (G61.1), high smooth control, and G00 slope constant for improved surface finishes. The machine is equipped with a chip conveyor for effective chip removal and includes a LAN port in the electrical cabinet for seamless integration into networked environments. This configuration makes the Mazak VCU-500 A ideal for demanding production environments requiring flexibility, speed, and precision.
