Our best estimate for the Mazak VTC-Ez is $95,000 - $130,000. 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-vtc-ez#price; the request is passed to Yamazaki Mazak or an authorised dealer.
Mazak's series table shows where the two differ without pairing figures to names: X travel is 67.32 in (1,710 mm) to 69.29 in (1,760 mm), Y travel 25 in (635 mm) to 30 in (762 mm) and machine weight 25,795 lb (11,700 kg) to 28,000 lb (12,701 kg). Z travel of 25.98 in (660 mm), the 24-tool magazine and the 3,306 lb (1,500 kg) table load are common. The Y figures match the numbers in the model names.
The series covers CAT No. 50 and CAT No. 40 tapers with top speeds from 6,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm. Continuous power runs from 7.5 kW (10 HP) to 18.5 kW (25 HP) and continuous torque from 35.2 ft-lb (48 Nm) to 87 ft-lb (118 Nm). Short-time ratings are 22 kW (30 HP) and 103.3 ft-lb (140 Nm) on a 30 min. rating, and 30 kW (40 HP) and 81.1 ft-lb (110 Nm) at 10% ED. Ask which ratings belong to the spindle quoted.
It depends on the spindle. With every pocket full the maximum diameter is Ø3.15 in (80 mm) to Ø4.13 in (105 mm); with adjacent pockets empty it is Ø4.33 in (110 mm) to Ø8.27 in (210 mm). Tool weight is limited to between 17.64 lb (8 kg) and 33.3 lb (15 kg), and length from the gauge line to 13.78 in (350 mm). The magazine holds 24 tools.
For some work, yes. Mazak describes the worktable as long enough for two simultaneous setups and machining zones in lieu of a two-pallet changing machine: one zone is loaded while the spindle column works in the other. The same table can instead hold one long workpiece, one that overhangs the table, or a row of single workpieces.
The layout is the same: a fixed table and a traveling spindle. The VTC series lists X travels of 65.35 in (1,660 mm), 1670 mm and 1760 mm, the same 24 tools, CAT No.40 / 50 tapers and 6,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm. The VTC-Ez range of 67.32 in (1,710 mm) to 69.29 in (1,760 mm) sits at the long end of that, with a 15-inch touchscreen and QUICK MAZATROL programming.
