A 5-axis vertical machining center for complex parts
As a solid “first step” into 5-axis machining for some shops, Mazak’s VARIAXIS C-600 offers four spindle options that allow shops to find the ideal balance of speed and power.
In addition to the standard 12,000 rpm CAT40 spindle, 15,000 rpm, 18,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm options are available in CAT 40, Big Plus or HSK A-63 types. The standard 12,000 rpm spindle with a motor output of 11/11 kW (40% ED/cont.) and torque of 70/57.3 Nm (40% ED/cont.) delivers a high cost-to-performance ratio and is well-suited for machining steel, cast iron and aluminum. Options for VARIAXIS C-600 tool magazines include those with 30, 60, 90 and 120-tool capacities as well as “random access” magazines that eliminate the typical wait time with other types of fixed-address tool systems and are ideal for short machining cycle times.
The C-600 is a robust, automation-ready simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining center designed for complex parts, featuring a C-frame for rigidity, a tilting rotary table, high-speed tool changer, and the Mazatrol SmoothAi CNC control for easy, accurate machining of materials from steel to aluminum. It offers various spindle options, AI-driven features like thermal compensation, and automation compatibility (like pallet changers) to boost productivity in demanding aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing applications.
