Description
Compact 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center for Precision Parts

The Mazak Variaxis i-500 delivers accurate, high-precision manufacturing for complex part geometries in aerospace, medical, and electronics applications. In addition, its rigid structure and small footprint make it ideal for shops that need advanced capability without sacrificing valuable floor space.

 

Multi-Surface CNC Milling in a Single Setup

The Variaxis i-500 performs multi-surface CNC milling to complete multiple operations in one setup. This reduces fixturing, shortens cycle times, and improves feature-to-feature accuracy. In addition, a 12,000 RPM spindle with BT40 taper supports fast, high-precision 5-axis CNC machining for consistent results and excellent surface finish on intricate components.

 

Automation-Ready for Continuous Productivity

This 5-axis vertical machining center features a high-performance control unit, thermal stability systems, and optimized axis kinematics to minimize error. In addition, it supports automatic tool changers and integrates easily with automation solutions such as gantry loaders for lights-out machining. These features maximize spindle utilization and keep production running efficiently.
