Frequently Asked Questions: Mazak VARIAXIS i-700

How much does the Mazak VARIAXIS i-700 cost?

Our best estimate for the Mazak VARIAXIS i-700 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-700#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.

Is the VARIAXIS i-700 still in Mazak's lineup?

Not under this name. Mazak's current lineup does not show a plain i-700, and it may be an older model. The current machine is the VARIAXIS i-700 NEO, which has 25 in (635 mm), 43 in (1,092 mm) and 24 in (610 mm) of X, Y and Z travel, an 18,000 rpm CAT No.40 spindle and a 1,543 lb (700 kg) table load.

What are the listed travels and workpiece size?

Listed travels are 630 mm (24.8 in) in X, 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Y and 600 mm (23.6 in) in Z. The table is listed at 700 x 500 mm (27.6 x 19.7 in), the maximum workpiece at 850 mm diameter by 500 mm height (33.5 x 19.7 in) and the table load at 600 kg (1,323 lb).

Which spindles are listed for the VARIAXIS i-700?

The listed spindle is 18,000 RPM with a #40 taper in BT40 or CAT40 form and 22 kW (30 hp), with no duty rating stated. A 12,000 RPM high-torque spindle is listed as an option. On a used machine, check the spindle actually fitted and ask for its rated output.

What tool sizes does the listed magazine accept?

Tools up to 130 mm (5.1 in) in diameter, 360 mm (14.2 in) long and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The magazine is listed at 30 tools as standard, with 40, 80 and 120-tool magazines as options, so check the capacity fitted to the machine in question.
