2012 Mazak VCS-430A CNC Vertical Mill

The 2012 Mazak?VCS-430A is a high-precision vertical machining center engineered for both demanding production and versatile job shop use. It spans an ample work envelope—22.05-inch (X), 16.93-inch (Y), 20.08-inch (Z)—over a 35.43-inch?x?16.93-inch table capable of supporting up to 1102?pounds. Driven by a 25?horsepower CAT-40 spindle reaching 12000?RPM, it delivers responsive speed with dependable torque. The 30-station side-mount tool changer ensures rapid tool changes, while the full enclosure, chip conveyor, and through-spindle coolant increase uptime and cleanliness. Control is via the intuitive Mazatrol Smart interface on a 10.4-inch color LCD, enhanced with Renishaw probing and tool-setter options for optimized setup and consistency.

In comparison to lighter mills, the VCS-430A offers superior rigidity, thermal stability through grease-packed ceramic bearings, and a compact footprint suited for floor-space-conscious shops. Its combination of speed, accuracy, and smart automation—like synchronized tapping and high-speed software—makes it a robust solution for modern precision milling applications.
