2012 MAZAK VCU500A 5 AXIS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2012 Mazak VCU500A 5 AXIS is a 5-axis vertical machining center built on the 500mm-class platform, integrating a B/C-axis trunnion table for simultaneous 5-axis contouring in a compact machine envelope. The trunnion table accommodates workpieces up to 19.68 in. in diameter with a maximum load of 440 lbs, enabling complex multi-sided and contoured parts to be completed in a single setup. Linear axis travels are 19.88 in. (X), 19.88 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 high-speed spindle configurations available. A 20-tool ATC (expandable to 30) and 945 IPM rapid traverse support complex program execution. The 2012 VCU500A 5 AXIS is controlled by Mazatrol Matrix, which provides simultaneous 5-axis interpolation, NURBS contouring, integrated tool life management, and collision avoidance simulation for complex aerospace and precision component machining. The machine measures 84.65 in. wide by 124.21 in. long by 125.04 in. tall and weighs approximately 11,000 lbs, making it a compact yet capable 5-axis solution for aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing applications.
