2012 MAZAK VCU400A 5 AXIS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2012 Mazak VCU400A 5 AXIS is a 5-axis vertical machining center built on the 400mm-class platform, combining a compact footprint with simultaneous 5-axis machining capability through an integrated B/C-axis trunnion table. The trunnion accommodates workpieces up to 15.74 in. in diameter with a maximum load of 440 lbs, enabling complex multi-sided and contoured part machining in a single setup. Linear axis travels are 19.88 in. (X), 15.74 in. (Y), and 20.07 in. (Z), with the B-axis tilting from -45 to +95 degrees and the C-axis providing continuous 360-degree rotation. The CAT 40 spindle delivers a standard maximum speed of 10,000 RPM with 10 HP of continuous output, with optional 12,000 RPM and higher-speed spindles available. A 20-tool ATC (expandable to 30) supports complex programs, and rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM keep cycle times efficient. The 2012 VCU400A 5 AXIS is controlled by Mazatrol Matrix, providing simultaneous 5-axis interpolation, NURBS contouring, and conversational programming suited to complex aerospace and medical components. The control also offers integrated tool management and advanced simulation for collision avoidance. The compact machine envelope -- 84.65 in. wide, 124.21 in. long, and 125.04 in. tall -- and approximate weight of 14,330 lbs make the VCU400A 5 AXIS well suited to precision 5-axis work in space-constrained manufacturing environments.
