Mazak HTC 400
Manufacturer specifications, what it is built to do, the years we have seen them listed, what tooling fits, and what to check on one. MTE also buys them outright.
What the Mazak HTC 400 is
The Mazak HTC 400 is a CNC horizontal machining center — a machine for production milling with a horizontal spindle and pallet changer, so one pallet runs while the next is being loaded — chips fall clear and the machine runs unattended.
What it is built to do
From the figures the manufacturer publishes, a Mazak HTC 400 suits:
- work up to the published 660 table rating
- No. 40 tooling at up to 10,000 - stepless

3 independent dealer listings were also read alongside the manufacturer document and are recorded in our sourcing record. They are not where these figures come from.
What fits a Mazak HTC 400
Each of these follows from a published specification above, which is named beside it.
40-taper toolholders
This is a 40-taper spindle — the 7:24 steep taper that CAT-40, BT-40 and DIN 69871 (SK-40) holders all share. They share the taper and nothing else that matters: the retention knob and the flange form differ between those standards, so holders do not swap between them without changing pull studs. Knowing which standard a machine was tooled for is worth doing before the holders are packed.

What years the Mazak HTC 400 was built
Across the units we have tracked, build years run from 1996 to 1999. Observed across 25 marketplaces, not a manufacturer build record. The manufacturer specifies Mazatrol M Plus, so a unit on an older control is an early one or a retrofit.
Mazak HTC 400 machines on the market now
We track listings across 25 used-machinery marketplaces, and every competitor in this market is one of them, so this is a view none of them can produce for themselves. Right now there are 3 units of this exact designation on the market, drawn from 1 source, spanning model years 1996 to 1999. That is a thin market for this designation, which usually works in a seller’s favor.
We count only listings whose model is spelled as this machine’s own designation. Near spellings that may be a different variant are excluded rather than counted, so this is a floor on what is out there, not a total.
What to check on a Mazak HTC 400
The same list whichever side of the deal you are on.
- Control generation. The manufacturer specifies Mazatrol M Plus for this model. The control is often the single biggest swing on two otherwise identical machines, because it decides which buyers can use it at all.
- Spindle hours and condition. Most controls show run hours on a maintenance or diagnostics screen. It is the first number anyone asks for, so find it before the conversation rather than during it.
- Tooling and accessories. Holders, chucks, steady rests, probing and automation attachments travel with the machine, and they are worth real money separately from it.
- The pallet changer, through a full cycle. A pallet changer that hesitates is the first thing a buyer will find.
- How many pallets and fixtures come with it. On an HMC this is a large part of the number.
- B-axis table condition and backlash, and the chip conveyor, which on a horizontal does real work.
- Power and rigging access. How the machine comes out of the building is a real cost, and it is one MTE absorbs, so an accessible machine is worth more to us.
