Our best estimate for the Mazak VORTEX i-V is $500,000 - $900,000. 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-i-v#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Mazak lists four: the VORTEX i-630V/6 and VORTEX i-800V/8, each with a 2 pallet changer, and the VORTEX i-630V/6S and VORTEX i-800V/8S, each with a single pallet. Spindle, 43-tool magazine, B-axis range of -30° to +120° and 2,047 ipm (52 m/min) rapids are common to all of them.
In envelope and load. The VORTEX i-630V/6 has 56 in (1,422 mm) of X with 41 in (1,041 mm) of Y and Z and a 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) table load. The VORTEX i-800V/8 has 67 in (1,702 mm) of X, 59 in (1,499 mm) of Y and 45 in (1,143 mm) of Z with 5,511 lb (2,500 kg). Y travel grows far more than X or Z, so the larger machine suits wide parts above all.
Mazak's model list gives the S models as single-pallet machines and the others as having a 2 pallet changer. The series ranges show that figures move with that choice: table load reaches 6,614 lb (3,000 kg), above the 5,511 lb (2,500 kg) of the VORTEX i-800V/8, and machine weight starts at 68,011 lb (30,849 kg), below the 71,980 lb (32,650 kg) of the VORTEX i-630V/6. Take the S model's own table for its exact figures.
The standard milling spindle is CAT No.50 at 10000 rpm, intended for cast iron, steel and non-ferrous material. Options are a CAT No.50, 5000 rpm spindle for high-torque rough machining, an HSK-T100, 15000 rpm spindle for non-ferrous and difficult-to-cut materials, and BIG-PLUS No.50 or HSK-A100 two-face contact tooling. A Smooth Ai spindle, which changes machining conditions when its vibration sensor detects chatter, is optional too.
Up to Ø5 in (127 mm) with every pocket full and Ø10 in (254 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, at a weight of up to 66 lb (30 kg). Maximum length is 20 in (508 mm) to 26 in (660 mm) depending on the model. The magazine holds 43 tools; for more, Mazak offers a Tool Transport System and the TOOL HIVE, which stores more than 240 tools.
It is the smaller and quicker of the two. The VORTEX e-V runs from 74 in (1,880 mm) to 91 in (2,311 mm) of X and carries up to 15,432 lb (7,000 kg), with rapids of 1,654 ipm (42 m/min). The i-V models stay within 67 in (1,702 mm) of X and 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) but traverse at 2,047 ipm (52 m/min) and have 183 ft-lb (248 Nm) of continuous torque against the 141 ft-lb (191 Nm) continuous of the VORTEX e-V.
