Frequently Asked Questions: Mazak MEGA 8800

How much does the Mazak MEGA 8800 cost?

Our best estimate for the Mazak MEGA 8800 is $800,000 - $1,200,000. This is an estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class, not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/mazak-mega-8800#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.

How much torque does the Mazak MEGA 8800 spindle produce?

1,050 Nm (774 ft-lb) continuous and 1,249 Nm (921 ft-lb) at 15% ED. The spindle motor is rated 75 kW (100 HP) continuous and 85 kW (113 HP) at 15% ED. Maximum spindle speed is 4,000 rpm and the taper is CAT No.50.

What is the difference between the MEGA 8800 and the HCN-8800?

Both have 55 in (1,397 mm) × 47 in (1,194 mm) × 52 in (1,321 mm) travels and 60 tools in the table. The HCN-8800 has a 10,000 rpm spindle with 238 Nm (176 ft-lb) continuous and rapids of 2,362 ipm (60 m/min). The MEGA 8800 has a 4,000 rpm spindle with 1,050 Nm (774 ft-lb) continuous and rapids of 1,890 ipm (48 m/min) on X and Z and 1,575 ipm (40 m/min) on Y.

What pallet changer options does the MEGA 8800 have?

A 2-pallet changer is standard equipment, so the operator can set up the next workpiece during machining. A 6-pallet changer is optionally available for long unmanned operation. Mazak also describes the PALLETECH system for the machine, which starts from 1 machining center, 1 loading station and a pallet stocker with 6 pallets.

How many tools can the MEGA 8800 carry?

The table lists 60 tools. Mazak offers magazine capacities up to 348 tools, and the magazines holding from 180 to 348 tools are a rack type. Each tool can be up to Ø5 in (127 mm), or Ø10 in (254 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, 25 in (635 mm) long and 66 lb (30 kg).

Is the MEGA 8800 suitable for aluminium?

It is not aimed at it. The spindle is limited to 4,000 rpm, which keeps cutting speed low on small-diameter tools, and Mazak describes the machine for difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel. For the same travels with a 10,000 rpm spindle, the HCN-8800 is the closer fit.
