Our best estimate for the Mazak VARIAXIS i-600 NEO is $350,000 - $500,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining centers 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-variaxis-i-600-neo#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Both have a Ø23.62 in (600 mm) × 19.69 in (500 mm) table and a 1,102 lb (500 kg) load. The VARIAXIS C-600 has a 12,000 rpm spindle rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous, rapids of 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) and a weight of 22,046 lb (10,000 kg). The i-600 NEO has 18,000 rpm, 26 kW (35 HP) continuous, 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) rapids in X and Y and weighs 28,660 lb (13,000 kg).
The CAT No.40 spindle reaches 18,000 rpm. Power is 26 kW (35 HP) continuous and 30 kW (40 HP) at 40% ED. Torque is 76 ft-lb (103 Nm) continuous and 88.5 ft-lb (120 Nm) at 40% ED. Mazak states that high-speed and high-torque spindle options are available in the VARIAXIS i NEO series.
The standard magazine holds 30 tools, and Mazak lists 40, 80 and 120-tool options for the series, plus a multiple drum tool magazine that loads tools automatically into the magazine next to the machine. A tool can be Ø4 in (102 mm), or Ø5 in (127 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, 12 in (305 mm) long and 18 lb (8 kg).
Mazak lists preparation for hydraulic fixtures as an option in the series: up to 9 ports for the single table version, or 4 ports inside the machine and 8 ports on the workpiece setup station for the 2-pallet changer version. The 2-pallet changer is itself an option, and MPP (MULTI PALLET POOL) and the PALLETECH system are offered for larger installations.
The footprint is 88 in (2,235 mm) × 175 in (4,445 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothAi control, the height is 127 in (3,226 mm) and the weight is 28,660 lb (13,000 kg). The table gives these figures for the base machine, so allow extra room for a pallet changer or a larger magazine if either is ordered.
