2002 Mazak VTC-200B CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2002 Mazak VTC-200B CNC Vertical Machining Center is designed for versatility and efficiency in mid-sized part production. It delivers 44.09 inches of X-axis travel, 20.08 inches in Y and Z, and accommodates a 1760-pound workpiece on a table rated for up to 1800 pounds. The 20-horsepower spindle reaches 10000 RPM and is paired with a 24-tool side-mount automatic tool changer. This machine achieves a 1.5-second tool change and a 4.7-second chip-to-chip time, with rapid traverse rates of 1181 IPM. The spindle nose sits just 7.09 inches above the table at minimum, enabling compact setup heights, all controlled via the Mazatrol 640 CNC interface.

Compared to less sophisticated vertical mills, the VTC-200B’s longer X travel and fast tool change cycle reduce downtime in multi-operation setups. Machines with slower spindle ramp-up or limited tool access cannot match its balance of throughput and working envelope.
