Mazak Corporation offers its 5-axis VC-300A/5X vertical machining center (VMC). "Suitable for the aerospace and medical industries as well as job shops, the VC-300A/5X brings advanced technology and production value to high-precision small parts processing in a space-saving package designed to fit into any manufacturing environment," said a company spokesperson.
The VC-300A/5X comes standard equipped with a robust, high-performance CAT-40, 10,000 RPM spindle designed to deliver enhanced metal removal capabilities in all common materials, including steel, aluminum and cast iron. A 12,000 RPM spindle is additionally available to address an even greater range of part-production requirements. An optional 47 HP (35 kW), 20,000 RPM integral spindle is also available for increased metal removal.
Axis travels for the VC-300A/5X measure 11.81" (300 mm) in X, 11.81" (300 mm) in Y and 20.078" (510 mm) in Z, all with rapid traverse speeds of 945 IPM (24 m/min). The machine can accommodate workpieces up to 3.9" (100 mm) in diameter, 6.1" (155 mm) in height and 341.7 lbs. in weight. The machine comes standard with an 18-tool drum-style magazine or optional 24-tool magazine for redundant tooling to allow for unmanned, uninterrupted operations. Its automatic tool changer (ATC) provides fast tool exchanges for an overall reduction in non-cut times.
To minimize thermal displacement, Mazak incorporates an oil chiller that cools the VC-300A/5X's headstock and spindle. The machine's trunnion-style rotary/tilt table is constructed with durable high-speed roller gear cam drive technology for high torsional rigidity and positioning accuracy. The table tilts from +20° to -120° in the B-axis and rotates 360° in the C-axis.
Mazak's MAZATROL SmoothX CNC on the VC-300A/5X is designed to easily generate programs for highly complex parts production. It has several advanced functions that allow the shortest possible machining cycle times, especially in fine increment programs for simultaneous 5-axis operations and free-form die-mold machining. These functions include High-Gain Feed Forward Control, Fast Rotary Axis Speeds, VARIABLE ACCELERATION CONTROL and INTELLIGENT POCKET MILLING.
Ergonomics also play an important role in the functionality of the MAZATROL SmoothX CNC. A large 19" display presents all of the critical machine data within a single page view, while the tilt control panel allows for optimum positioning based on operator height. An intuitive multi-touchscreen, which is similar to that of a smartphone, enables fast and smooth programming operations. An SD card allows the CNC to store up to 32 GB of data.
