Mazak has introduced the Variaxis i-300 simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining centre with a high-capacity auto work changer (AWC).
Designed for automated small- to medium-size part processing operations, the VMC is suitable for machining aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
It comes standard with a multiple drum tool storage system that holds up to 145 tools, and the AWC with 32 positions accommodates workpieces up to 13.779 in. dia., 12.401 in. high, and weighing up to 135 lbs.
If production needs increase, shops can expand the AWC and tool storage capacities to 40 workpieces and 505 tools (in increments of 60 tools), respectively.
The VMC has a standard 12,000-RPM spindle (with up to 30,000 RPM available), and its integral spindle/motor design and temperature-controlled coolant help enable vibration-free, high-speed operation. The machine’s trunnion-style rotary table creates high rigidity and accuracy in the A and C axes, while its compact spindle cartridge, cam-driven tool changer, ball screw core cooling, and MX hybrid roller guide system all contribute to operator ease of use and machining precision, the company states.
The machine features the Mazatrol SmoothX CNC.
