Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Mazak CV 5-500 is a compact 5-axis machining center with a 500 mm diameter trunnion table and listed travels of 730 mm in X and 510 mm in both Y and Z. It is not on Mazak's current model list, and the listed figures on this page could not be matched to a manufacturer page. Read them as a starting point for assessing a machine that is already in service, and confirm each one against the machine's own documentation.

The trunnion tilts on the A axis from -30° to +120°, and the C axis rotates through 360° continuously. A tilt that runs past the horizontal lets the spindle reach the side faces of a part and a little way under them, so a prismatic part can be finished on five faces in one clamping. X travel of 730 mm is longer than the 500 mm table is wide, which leaves the tool somewhere to go when the trunnion is tilted. The 510 mm of Z has to cover the part, the fixture and the tool together.

The listed spindle is a 40-taper unit, BT40 or CAT40, with 12,000 rpm as the standard speed and a 22 kW motor. The table does not say whether 22 kW is a continuous or a short-time rating, and it gives no torque figure, so low-speed cutting capacity cannot be judged from it. A 30-tool magazine, 50 m/min rapid traverse on X, Y and Z and the MAZATROL SmoothG control complete the list.

Weight is given as approximately 9,000 kg on a floor space of approximately 2,900 × 3,200 mm. No table load, tool size limit or rotary axis speed is listed, and those are the first things to ask a seller for.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

A-axis tilt of -30° to +120° with 360° continuous C-axis rotation, for five-face machining in one clamping
730 mm of X travel against a 500 mm diameter table leaves clearance beside the part when the trunnion is tilted
Listed rapid traverse of 50 m/min on X, Y and Z
40-taper spindle listed as BT40 or CAT40, 12,000 rpm standard with a 22 kW motor
Listed floor space of approximately 2,900 × 3,200 mm at approximately 9,000 kg

Limitations

Not on Mazak's current model list, and the listed figures could not be matched to a manufacturer page
No table load is listed, so what the 500 mm trunnion can carry has to be confirmed before a heavy fixture goes on it
The 22 kW motor figure carries no duty rating and no spindle torque is listed
30 tools is the only magazine size in the table, and no maximum tool diameter, length or weight is given

Best For

Five-face machining of parts that fit a 500 mm diameter trunnion table General 40-taper milling at up to 12,000 rpm Shops short of floor space: approximately 2,900 × 3,200 mm is listed Buyers checking an existing machine against the listed 730 / 510 / 510 mm travels

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the CV 5-500 still in Mazak's lineup?

It does not appear on Mazak's current model list, and the table on this page could not be matched to a manufacturer page. Use the listed figures (730 / 510 / 510 mm travels, a 500 mm diameter trunnion table, a 12,000 rpm 40-taper spindle) as a guide, and confirm them from the machine's nameplate and manuals.

02 How far do the rotary axes of the CV 5-500 move?

The listed A-axis range is -30° to +120°, and the C axis is listed as 360° continuous. No rotary axis speeds or indexing increments are given in the table, so if cycle time depends on fast repositioning between faces, ask for those figures.

03 What spindle is listed for the CV 5-500?

A 40-taper spindle in BT40 or CAT40 with 12,000 rpm as the standard speed and a 22 kW motor. The table gives no torque and does not state whether 22 kW is a continuous or a short-time rating, so check the spindle output diagram of the actual machine before planning heavy cuts.

04 How much room does the CV 5-500 need?

The listed floor space is approximately 2,900 × 3,200 mm and the listed weight is approximately 9,000 kg. Both are given as approximate, and the table does not say whether the floor space includes a chip conveyor or coolant tank, so measure the installation you are looking at.
