1999 Mazak MTV 655/60N CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 1999 Mazak MTV 655/60N CNC Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance, heavy-duty precision mill designed for machining large components and hardened materials. It features an expansive 59.0-inch X-axis, 25.0-inch Y-axis, and 26.0-inch Z-axis travel, paired with a large 66.9 x 25.6-inch table rated for loads up to 3300 pounds. The powerful CAT-50 taper spindle runs at speeds up to 6000 RPM, driven by a 40-horsepower AC motor delivering exceptional torque for heavy roughing and high-accuracy finishing. Mazak’s M Plus CNC control provides conversational programming and 3D contouring capabilities with rigid tapping, ensuring fast setup and precision cycle execution.

Compared to the smaller VTC or Nexus series mills, the MTV 655/60N excels with its box-way design, wider base casting, and superior thermal stability. Its robust 50-taper spindle, dual-axis ballscrew drives, and automatic tool changer combine strength with versatility, making it ideal for mold, die, and aerospace work where accuracy and stability over long cycles are paramount.
