Our best estimate for the Mazak VCN-500 is $130,000 - $185,000. 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-500#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
The VCN-500 is not in Mazak's current lineup and may be an older model. The figures on this page are the listed ones: 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X, 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z. If you are looking at a second-hand machine, check the travels, spindle and options against its own nameplate and manual.
The listed table is 1,200 x 500 mm (47.2 x 19.7 in) and carries 800 kg (1,764 lb). Travels are 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 500 mm (19.7 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. A part can run the full depth of the table, but the load limit, more than the envelope, usually decides whether a heavy job fits.
The listed spindle is a built-in motor type with a CAT No. 40 taper, 12,000 RPM as standard and 15,000 RPM as an option, at 18.5 kW (25 hp). The table gives no duty rating for the power and no torque, so ask for the spindle output chart of the specific machine before planning heavy cuts.
The standard magazine is listed at 30 tools with an arm-type changer and a 1.3 seconds tool-to-tool time. A 48-tool magazine is listed as an option, so a given machine may have either. Check which one is fitted, because it cannot be read from the model name.
