The listed models are the i-600 NEO, i-700 NEO and i-800 NEO. They step up in maximum workpiece diameter, listed at 700 mm (27.6 in), 850 mm (33.5 in) and 1,000 mm (39.4 in), and each has its own page with a full table.
By workpiece and spindle. The listed maximum workpiece height is 450 mm (17.7 in) on the i-600, 500 mm (19.7 in) on the i-700 and 415 mm (16.3 in) on the i-800, so the largest diameter comes with the lowest height. The i-700 is listed with an 18,000 RPM No.40 spindle and the i-800 with a 10,000 RPM No.50 spindle.
The VARIAXIS i-800 NEO has a 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load, 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous torque and 30 kW (40 HP) continuous at 10,000 rpm. The VARIAXIS i-700 NEO has a 1,543 lb (700 kg) table load, 76 ft-lb (103 Nm) continuous and 26 kW (35 HP) continuous at 18,000 rpm.
The series entry on this page is not matched to Mazak's current lineup and may be an older listing. Individual NEO models have their own pages; the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO, for example, has travels of 30 in (762 mm), 35 in (889 mm) and 24 in (610 mm). Use those pages for purchase decisions.
