What the maker published about the Mazak VCU-500C
Mazak fitted the VCU-500C, one of its VERTICAL CENTER UNIVERSAL vertical machining centers, with what the page calls a 3-axis table, 39.400 in / 1000 mm by 19.700 in / 500 mm in size. Along X the stroke is 1000 mm; Y gets 505 mm and Z 510 mm. The spindle in the specification table holds 40 taper tooling and reaches 12000 rpm on a motor of 20.0 hp / 15 kw, rated over 30 minutes, and the page mentions spindles with other maximum speeds as options. A 20 tool magazine is the table's figure, while the feature list adds 30 and 40 tool sizes, each served by an automatic tool changer. The axes ride on MX Hybrid Roller Guides, a Mazak design. Control comes from a SMART CNC, and the description points to a small footprint.

What the Mazak VCU-500C is used for
Small parts of basic geometry were the target Mazak's 2014 page set for the VCU-500C, and it said the 3-axis table keeps setups simple for that work.
