Our best estimate for the Mazak VC-500C/2PC is $165,000 - $225,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) 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-vc-500c-2pc#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Each of its two pallets is listed at 630 x 500 mm (24.8 x 19.7 in) and 400 kg (882 lb). The pallet change is listed at about 10 seconds. Remember that the 400 kg (882 lb) limit includes the fixture.
The listed travels are 762 mm (30.0 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. X is longer than the 630 mm (24.8 in) pallet and Y slightly exceeds its 500 mm (19.7 in) depth, so the spindle can reach the whole pallet surface.
Choose by part size. The VC-500A/2PC is listed with 500 x 400 mm (19.7 x 15.7 in) pallets, 300 kg (661 lb) per pallet and 560 × 410 × 460 mm (22.0 × 16.1 × 18.1 in) of travel. The VC-500C/2PC has 630 x 500 mm (24.8 x 19.7 in) pallets, 400 kg (882 lb) and 762 × 510 × 510 mm (30.0 × 20.1 × 20.1 in). Spindle, tool changer and rapids are listed the same.
Treat them as a starting point. The model is not in Mazak's current lineup, so the listed spindle speed of 12,000 RPM, the 18.5 kW (25 hp) power figure and the pallet data should be checked against the nameplate and manuals of the specific machine before a job is planned around them.
