VMC for Large, Complex Workpieces



Mazak's VORTEX 1060V/8 Single processes large, complex components in single setups.

The VORTEX 1060V/8 Single VMC from Mazak processes large, complex components measuring up to 59.06" (1,500 mm) in diameter, 57.09" (1,450 mm) high and weighing up to 6,614 lbs in single setups. Furthermore, its single table design is intended to provide cost-effective, efficient machining and requires minimal floor space. According to Mazak, it is ideal for the aerospace and construction machinery industries.

The VORTEX 1060V/8 Single provides simultaneous 5-axis surface contouring with a 50 taper, 50 HP (37 kW) tilting spindle featuring maximum speeds of 10,000 RPM for achieving high metal removal rates. An optional 5,000 RPM spindle that generates up to 368.8 ft-lbs of torque for heavy-duty cutting is also available. The machine features rapid traverse speeds of 1,654 IPM (60 m/min) and an 80-tool magazine.

The VORTEX 1060V/8 Single has axis travels of 41.73" (1,060 mm) in Y, 66.73" (1,695 mm) in X and 52.95" (1,345 mm) in the Z-axis for accommodating maximum workpiece dimensions of 49.21" x 49.21" (1,250 mm x 1,250 mm).

The VORTEX 1060V/8 Single incorporates Mazak's MX Hybrid Roller Guide System in the XYZ axes for increased durability and reliability. "This way system increases vibration dampening, extends tool life, handles higher load capacities and eliminates tramp oil in the coolant by utilizing a greener grease-based way lube system," said a company spokesperson.

Mazak equips the VORTEX 1060V/8 Single with the company's latest MATRIX 2 CNC control designed specifically for optimized 5-axis machining.
