Mazak VARIAXIS J-500

What the maker publishes about the current Mazak VARIAXIS J-500

Mazak lists the VARIAXIS j-500 as the multi-surface model in its VARIAXIS j line of 5-axis machines: four axes move simultaneously while the A axis indexes in 0.0001° increments, under a MAZATROL control. Parts up to Φ19.69" × 13.78" fit on its Φ19.69" × 15.75" table, whose rated load is 441 lbs when spread evenly. Strokes are 14" for X, 22" for Y and 20" for Z, while the A axis tilts from -120° to +30°. When the table lies horizontal, 2" to 22" separates its top from the spindle nose. The CAT No.40 spindle has a 12000 rpm limit and a motor rated 11 kW (15 HP) with 48 ft-lbs at 40% ED, or 7.5 kW (10 HP) and 35 ft-lbs continuous. The 18 tool magazine accepts tools to Φ4" (Φ5" beside an empty pocket), 12" long and 18 lbs. Rapid traverse is 1181 IPM on each linear axis. Footprint is 101" × 127", height 112", weight 15432 lbs. MAZA-CHECK rotary-axis calibration is an optional function on the j-500.
