Our best estimate for the Mazak VC-Ez 16 is $65,000 - $95,000. 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-ez-16#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
30 in (762 mm) in X, 16.14 in (410 mm) in Y and 20.08 in (510 mm) in Z. The Z travel is longer than the Y travel, so the machine has more height than depth to work with.
37.4 in (950 mm) × 14.17 in (360 mm). It is longer than the 30 in (762 mm) X travel and narrower than the 16.14 in (410 mm) Y travel, so the spindle covers the full width of the table but not its full length. Mazak's table does not state a load limit.
A CAT No.40 spindle with a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm. The spindle motor is listed at 18 kW (25 HP) on a five-minute rating. Mazak's table gives no continuous rating and no torque figure, so heavy roughing capacity cannot be judged from it.
Size. The VC-Ez 20 has 41.34 in (1,050 mm) × 20.08 in (510 mm) × 25 in (635 mm) of travel on a 49.21 in (1,250 mm) × 19.37 in (492 mm) table. The VC-Ez 16 has 30 in (762 mm) × 16.14 in (410 mm) × 20.08 in (510 mm) on a 37.4 in (950 mm) × 14.17 in (360 mm) table. Both have a CAT No.40, 12,000 rpm spindle and 30 tools.
Mazak lists Hybrid MX Roller Guideway Systems on all linear axes for the VC-Ez series. It says they give more surface contact for greater load capacities and higher positioning accuracy than boxways. Mazak's table for the VC-Ez 16 itself does not give a rapid traverse figure.
