Vortex 1400/160-II

Vertical CNC Systems for Large Workpieces

The Mazak Vortex 1400/160-II 5-axis vertical machining center is designed for large-component manufacturing in aerospace, heavy equipment, and energy applications. Its double-column structure enhances rigidity and maintains thermal stability during extended machining cycles. A large 157.5” x 49.2” table supports substantial workpieces, while axis travels of 165.35” (X), 55.12” (Y), and 24.02” (Z) provide precise control across long dimensions.

High-Speed Mazak Spindles for Versatile Cutting

This heavy-duty CNC machine uses high-speed Mazak spindles engineered for reliable cutting performance across a wide range of materials. The standard 10,000 rpm spindle delivers the torque needed for hardened steels and other demanding alloys. Optional 18,000 rpm spindles support fast, accurate machining of aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Combined with the rigid double-column design, these spindle options maintain accuracy and surface finish, even during high-load and high-speed operations.

5-Axis Vertical Machining Center with Automation

The Vortex 1400/160-II offers full 5-axis capability for efficient multi-surface machining in a single setup. The A- and B-axis spindles provide ±40 degrees of motion, allowing accurate contouring and reducing fixturing requirements. This design shortens both setup time and overall lead time.

To increase uptime, the system supports advanced automation machine tool solutions, including a two-pallet changer and tool storage capacity of up to 120 tools. These features help manufacturers scale production with minimal operator intervention. As a result, the Vortex 1400/160-II aligns well with modern production environments and supports competitiveness in high-demand markets.
