2013 MAZAK VCU400A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2013 Mazak VCU400A is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on the compact 400mm-class platform, designed for high-precision machining of small to medium-sized components. The machine features a 15.74 x 19.69 in. worktable with a maximum load capacity of 661 lbs, providing a versatile workspace for a variety of fixturing configurations. Axis travels of 19.88 in. (X), 15.74 in. (Y), and 20.07 in. (Z) define the machining envelope. The CAT 40 spindle delivers a standard maximum speed of 10,000 RPM with 10 HP of continuous output (15 HP at 30-minute rating), with optional 12,000 RPM and 20,000 RPM high-speed spindles available. A 20-tool automatic tool changer (expandable to 30) supports multi-operation programs, while rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM maintain productive cycle times. The 2013 VCU400A is controlled by Mazatrol Smart CNC, offering intuitive conversational programming alongside full EIA/ISO G-code compatibility. The Smart CNC provides integrated tool life management, advanced diagnostic screens, and streamlined shop floor connectivity. Linear guideway construction throughout the machine delivers fast axis acceleration and high positioning accuracy, making the VCU400A well suited to precision work in aerospace, medical device, and electronics component manufacturing. The machine measures 84.65 in. wide by 124.21 in. long by 125.04 in. tall and weighs approximately 14,330 lbs, offering a compact footprint without sacrificing capability.
