2020 Mazak Variaxis C600 5 Axis CNC Vertical Mill

The Mazak Variaxis C-600 (2020) is a simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining centre engineered on a rigid C-frame for high dynamics and structural stiffness. It has 5-axis travel of 25.6 inch x?21.7 inch x?20.9 inch, coupled with a large tilting rotary table (Ø600?x?500?mm) capable of handling parts up to Ø28.7 inch x?17.7 inch and loads up to approximately 1100 pounds. The machine offers selectable spindle configurations, including a 20000 RPM Big-Plus CT-40 unit developing 56 horsepower and 119 foot-pounds of torque for demanding materials. Standard features include a 60-tool side-mount changer, 4.5-second chip-to-chip tool change, high-pressure thru-spindle coolant, Renishaw probing, and the Mazatrol SmoothAi CNC for AI-driven cycle optimization. Automation options include dual pallet changers and multi-pallet pool systems for extended lights-out machining.

Compared to a standard 3-axis vertical mill or even a traditional 4+1 trunnion setup, the Variaxis C-600 delivers true simultaneous 5-axis capability with greater table load, superior kinematics, and vastly reduced setup times across multi-face parts. Machines with lower RPM spindles or fewer tool stations simply cannot match the throughput, surface finish consistency, and adaptive machining control this platform provides.
