Mazak VTC-5 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Mazak VTC-5

How much does the Mazak VTC-5 cost?

Our best estimate for the Mazak VTC-5 is $400,000 - $650,000. 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-vtc-5#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.

Which machines does the VTC-5 page cover?

The three models Mazak lists: the VTC-800/30SR, the VTC-800/30HD and the VTC-800/30SD. All have 118 in (2,997 mm) of X, 32 in (813 mm) of Y and 28 in (711 mm) of Z with rapids of 1,968 ipm (50 m/min), and all carry the ±110° B-axis swiveling head.

How do the SR, HD and SD differ?

At the spindle and the magazine. The series spans CAT No.40 and CAT No.50, 10,000 rpm to 18,000 rpm and 30 tools to 36 tools. The VTC-800/30SR has the CAT No.40 spindle at 18,000 rpm with 30 tools, and it is the only model that accepts the optional NC rotary table. For the VTC-800/30HD and VTC-800/30SD, take taper, speed and tool count from each model's own table.

Is this a full simultaneous 5-axis machine?

Only with an option, and only on one model. The B-axis swiveling head is part of every machine, but Mazak states that simultaneous 5-axis machining is enabled by selecting the optional NC rotary table, compatible with the VTC-800/30SR only. The table can be placed horizontally or vertically, on either side of the machine table, and uses the same roller gear cam as the B-axis.

What does the B-axis head do?

It swivels the spindle through a 220° range, ±110°, so vertical, horizontal and slanted surfaces can be machined at any angle. Indexing is in 0.0001° increments through a zero-backlash roller gear cam and servo motor. For heavy-duty cutting an index coupling can clamp the head at every 5° increment.

How powerful is the spindle?

The series table gives 30 kW (40 HP) to 35 kW (47 HP) on a 30 min. rating, depending on the model. Mazak's own description of the 18000 rpm spindle quotes 35 kW (47 HP) at 50% ED. Either way these are intermittent ratings, and no continuous power or torque figure is listed, so ask for both before planning long roughing cuts.

Can one machine run two setups?

Yes, with the optional removable center partition. It divides the machining area so one side can be machining while the next workpiece is installed on the other. Mazak adds that an optional NC rotary table can be mounted on both sides. The table is 137.8″ × 32.28″.
