Our best estimate for the Mazak VORTEX Horizontal Profiler is $900,000 - $2,000,000. 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-vortex-horizontal-profiler#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Spindle, table width and tool count. The VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 has a 26,000 rpm spindle rated 45 kW (60 HP) continuous, a 49.21 in (1,250 mm) wide table and 30 tools. The VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 XP has a 30,000 rpm spindle rated 120 kW (161 HP) continuous, a 62.99 in (1,600 mm) wide table and 60 tools. Travels, the 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) table load and the rapids are identical.
Decide on metal removal. If the work is finishing and light profiling, the 45 kW (60 HP) continuous spindle of the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 covers it with the same travels. If parts are cut from solid plate and most of the stock ends up as chips, the 120 kW (161 HP) continuous spindle and 60 tools of the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 XP are the reason that model exists. Only the XP can take the optional high torque spindle.
For loading. Mazak describes the table as horizontal for workpiece setup and tilted 90 degrees for machining, which makes large workpieces easier to load and unload while the cutting is done by a horizontal spindle. Tilting table repeatability is stated as within 13 μm in the X, Y and Z directions.
The A-axis range is ±110°. For the C-axis Mazak's table gives two alternatives, ±200° and ±360°, without the series page saying which model or configuration has which, so confirm the C-axis range on the quotation if a part needs continuous rotation.
Rapid traverse is 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on X and 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) on Y and Z, on both models. With 165 in (4,191 mm) of X to cover, the X rapid matters most for repositioning between features at opposite ends of a long part.
Through-spindle coolant at 1.5 MPa (218 PSI) is standard, and 3.5 MPa (508 PSI) or 7.0 MPa (1015 PSI) systems are optional. Headstock cleaning coolant from nozzles on the top cover is standard. The coolant tank is separate from the conveyor, has a coating that stops small chips adhering and a jet that keeps them from settling.
