Our best estimate for the Mazak VC-Ez X is $175,000 - $275,000. 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-vc-ez-x#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Travel. The VC-Ez 16X has 28 in (711 mm) of X and 16 in (406 mm) of Y and Z. The VC-Ez 20X has 32 in (813 mm) of X and 20 in (508 mm) of Y and Z. Both list a CAT No.40 spindle at 12,000 rpm and 30 tools.
Mazak describes a roller gear trunnion and rotary table for 5-axis machining. The series table lists the C-axis range as ±360°. It does not state the range of the tilting axis, so take that from the table of the individual model before checking part clearance.
The series table gives 18.5 kW (25 HP) to 19 kW (25 HP) on a 5-min. rating, with a top speed of 12,000 rpm and a CAT No.40 taper. A 5-min. rating is a short-term figure. Neither continuous power nor torque is listed for the series.
According to Mazak: Hybrid MX Roller Guideway Systems on all linear axes, a pre-tensioned ballscrew system supported at both ends, precision-balanced spindle cartridges and a thermally controlled spindle. Mazak says the roller guideways give higher positioning accuracy than boxways and nearly twice the rapid traverse rate.
MAZATROL Conversational Programming, QUICK MAZATROL, Intelligent Pocket Milling and SMS (SMOOTH machining configuration), along with five process home screens and a chip conveyor interface. Mazak's series page does not describe these functions in more detail.
The VC-Ez 20X has 32 in (813 mm) × 20 in (508 mm) × 20 in (508 mm) of travel and 30 tools. The HCR has 29 in (737 mm) on each of X, Y and Z, 40 tools and a 1,102 lb (500 kg) table load. Both use CAT No.40 at 12,000 rpm.
