Mazak Reintroduces VTC-200G Vertical Machining Center
Florence, Kentucky, April 22, 2009 - Mazak's versatile VTC-200G Vertical Machining Center is once again available for part production of long or heavy workpieces. Manufactured in Florence, Kentucky, the vertical machining center is equipped with a long, fixed working table (154.3" x 20.1") that accommodates up to 4,600 lbs., and can be partitioned to allow for machining on one side while an additional setup takes place on the other. This enables operation similar that of a pallet changer but with additional flexibility.
VTC-200G's full traveling column design provides maximum rigidity, reduces operator fatigue and allows convenient accessibility to the working table and workpieces for safe and easy part loading/unloading. Additionally, the VTC-200G is outfitted with a powerful #40 taper, 25 hp, 12,000-rpm digital AC spindle motor that ensures increased productivity when machining steel or aluminum. The machining center also features a spindle cooling system for constant temperature control and the minimization of thermal growth.
VTC-200G utilizes a 24-tool servo magazine (48-tool optional) that travels with the column to provide tool change capability anywhere along the length of the X-axis with a tool-to-tool change time of a 4.7 s. VTC-200G travels 144" x 20" x 20" in the X-, Y- and Z-axes, and its fixed table can safely manage the machining of a long, structural parts or pipe. An optional NC rotary table is easily accommodated on the table without cable interference.
