Our best estimate for the Mazak VCN-430A is $115,000 - $165,000. 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-vcn-430a#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
No. It is not in Mazak's current lineup. The figures here are the listed ones, so anyone buying a used VCN-430A should verify the spindle speed, the magazine size and the travels on the machine itself.
Listed travels are 762 mm (30.0 in) in X, 430 mm (16.9 in) in Y and 460 mm (18.1 in) in Z. The table is 900 x 430 mm (35.4 x 16.9 in) with a maximum load of 400 kg (882 lb).
The listed tool change time is 1.3 seconds tool-to-tool. The arm-type changer holds 30 tools as listed, and a 48-tool magazine is shown as an option. On parts with many short operations, that tool change time has more effect on the cycle than the rapids do.
A built-in motor spindle with a CAT No. 40 taper, listed at 12,000 RPM with 15,000 RPM optional and 15 kW (20 hp). The table does not say whether the power figure is continuous or short-time, and it lists no torque.
The two are close in size. The VC-Ez 16 has 30 in (762 mm) of X, 16.14 in (410 mm) of Y and 20.08 in (510 mm) of Z, on a 37.4 in (950 mm) × 14.17 in (360 mm) table. The VCN-430A is listed at 762 × 430 × 460 mm (30.0 × 16.9 × 18.1 in) with a 900 x 430 mm (35.4 x 16.9 in) table. Both have a 40-taper spindle listed at 12,000 rpm and 30 tools.
