At IMTS 2026, Mazak highlighted the Kentucky-designed and built VC-Ez 20 VMC for manufacturers who need part processing capabilities beyond those of commodity machines. Mazak's VC-Ez Series machines offer stronger cutting performance, improved surface finishes, and reduced cycle times for greater confidence and success on tight-tolerance work, the company reported.
The VC-Ez 20 includes a 40-taper, 12,000 RPM, 18 kW (25 HP) spindle and 30-tool magazine ATC as standard equipment. Options include a versatile 15,000 RPM, 22 kW (29.5 HP) spindle with 110 kW (81.13 ft-lbs.) of torque and a 50-tool capacity tool changer. Additionally, for VC-Ez machines, Mazak supports robot automation, offering factory supplied automatic doors and robot interfaces for simple and efficient field integration.
"To stay competitive, shops need the flexibility and capability to machine complex parts without adding complexity to their operations," said Dan Janka, President of Mazak Corporation. "The VC-Ez 20 delivers ease of use paired with machine performance and well-known Mazak durability."
For part size flexibility, axis travels on the VC-Ez 20 measure 41.34" in X, 20.08" in Y, and 25" in Z (1,050 mm x 510 mm x 635 mm), which accommodates maximum workpiece sizes of 49.21" (1,250 mm) long, 19.37" (492 mm) wide, and 22.4" (569 mm) tall, and part weights up to 2,204 lbs. (999.72 kg).
A fast traverse rate of 1,654 IPM (42,011.6 mm/m) in the X, Y and Z axes enables higher throughput. For significant floor space savings, the ergonomically designed machine measures only 102.65 sq. ft. (9.54 m2) and uses a 26.5% smaller footprint than other models.
VC-Ez Series machines are available with a choice of MAZATROL Smooth Controls, allowing shops to select the control that best fits their part programming needs. As standard, Mazak's MAZATROL SmoothEz control makes programming the VC-Ez 20 fast and easy. The optional MAZATROL SmoothG control adds process management and advanced programming capabilities for increased speed and accuracy, while the optional MAZATROL SmoothX CNC offers maximum performance, increasing machining speed and reducing cycle times through advanced software functions.
