1999 MAZAK VTC20B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 1999 Mazak VTC20B is a 3-axis traveling-column vertical machining center in the mid-travel VTC20 series, designed for productive machining of medium to large workpieces in a compact, efficient package. The traveling-column design keeps the worktable stationary while the column traverses along X, enabling flexible multi-part staging and straightforward workpiece loading. The machine is equipped with a 57.48 x 20.08 in. worktable with load capacities of 1,210 to 1,760 lbs. Axis travels are 44.09 in. (X), 20.08 in. (Y), and 20.08 in. (Z). The CAT 40 spindle achieves a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM with 15 HP of continuous output, providing adequate cutting force for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A 24-tool ATC and rapid traverse rates of 787 IPM (X/Y) and 590 IPM (Z) maintain efficient cycle times. The 1999 VTC20B is controlled by Mazatrol M-Plus CNC, providing conversational Mazatrol and EIA/ISO programming with 3-axis contouring and tool life management. With overall dimensions of approximately 118 in. long by 102 in. wide by 106 in. tall and a machine weight of approximately 12,000 lbs, the VTC20B is a compact and versatile traveling-column machine well suited to aerospace, mold, die, and general precision machining applications requiring elongated workpiece capability.
