Mazak VTC-250 D/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a substantial work table measuring 82.7 inches long by 25 inches wide, capable of supporting workpieces weighing up to 2,600 pounds. The machine is equipped with a CAT50 spindle taper, the industry standard for heavy-duty machining applications, operating at a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM with a 20 HP rating (expandable to 30 HP optional). The three-axis configuration provides generous travel distances: 69.3 inches on the X-axis, 25 inches on the Y-axis, and 26 inches on the Z-axis, all achieving rapid traverse rates of 1,181 inches per minute. The automatic tool changer accommodates 24 tools standard (expandable to 30), with an exceptionally fast 2-second tool change time, enhancing production efficiency. The CAT50 taper's larger and more robust design compared to CAT40 ensures increased rigidity and stability for heavy-duty machining operations on large workpieces requiring higher cutting forces. This machine is well-suited for diverse applications including forming components, die casting dies, injection molding parts, and aerospace machining. The combination of substantial load capacity, high rapid traverse speeds, and quick tool changes makes this machining center ideal for production environments demanding both precision and throughput.
