How much does the Mazak FJV 5-Face cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak FJV 5-Face series is a line of eight double-column vertical machining centers that carry an angle head as standard equipment, so the four sides of a part are machined in the same clamping as its top. All eight share one spindle, a CAT No.50 built-in motor unit running to 10,000 rpm with 30 kW (40 HP) continuous and 37 kW (50 HP) at 40% ED, and all eight have 25.98 in (660 mm) of Z travel.
The angle head is what the series is bought for. Mazak clamps it hydraulically and uses one angle tool to machine four side faces. Angle tools live in their own magazine, which stores 8 tools, apart from the main magazine of 30 tools to 60 tools. Side-face programs are written with the MAZATROL conversational program for 5-surface machining, and the control is the MAZATROL SmoothG.
Size is what separates the models, which Mazak lists as FJV 5 Face-35/60, 35/80, 35/120, 60/80, 60/120, 60/160, 100/120 and 100/160. X travel runs from 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 165.35 in (4,200 mm), Y from 31.5 in (800 mm) to 96.46 in (2,450 mm), and the distance between columns from 33.9 in (861 mm) to 98.43 in (2,500 mm). Table load follows, from 5,512 lb (2,500 kg) to 22,046 lb (10,000 kg), and machine weight from 41,226 lb (18,700 kg) to 103,616 lb (46,999 kg).
Spindle torque is 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous and 258 ft-lb (350 Nm) at 40% ED. A 7,000 rpm high torque spindle and a BT40 18,000 rpm high-speed spindle are options. Y and Z rapids are 1,575 ipm (40 m/min) and 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) throughout, while X ranges from 886 ipm (23 m/min) to 1,575 ipm (40 m/min) depending on the model.
Pick the Y travel first, because the column spacing decides what passes between the columns, then the X length and the table load. Z does not grow with the larger models: part, fixture and tool have to fit within 25.98 in (660 mm) whichever size is chosen.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Hydraulically clamped angle head is standard equipment, giving the top and four side faces in one clamping
- Dedicated angle tool magazine stores 8 tools, separate from the main magazine of 30 tools to 60 tools
- CAT No.50 spindle with 10,000 rpm, 30 kW (40 HP) continuous and 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous on every size
- Eight sizes, from 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 165.35 in (4,200 mm) of X and from 31.5 in (800 mm) to 96.46 in (2,450 mm) of Y
- Ball screw core cooling, spindle temperature control and linear roller guides on all axes
- MAZATROL conversational programming for 5-surface machining on the MAZATROL SmoothG
Limitations
- Z travel is 25.98 in (660 mm) on all eight models, regardless of table size
- X rapid is as low as 886 ipm (23 m/min) in the series, against 1,575 ipm (40 m/min) in Y
- The 7,000 rpm high torque spindle and the BT40 18,000 rpm high-speed spindle are options
- Tools are limited to Ø4.92 in (125 mm) with a full magazine, 14.96 in (380 mm) in length and 44 lb (20 kg)
- Machine weight reaches 103,616 lb (46,999 kg) and height 141.73 in (3,600 mm), so foundation and headroom need planning

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It means the top of the part and its four sides are machined without re-clamping. The vertical spindle works the top face, and Mazak's angle head, held by a hydraulic clamping unit, machines the four side faces with one angle tool. The angle head and the functions that go with it are standard equipment on this series, and a dedicated magazine stores 8 angle tools.
02
Mazak lists eight: FJV 5 Face-35/60, 35/80, 35/120, 60/80, 60/120, 60/160, 100/120 and 100/160. Between them X travel covers 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 165.35 in (4,200 mm), Y travel 31.5 in (800 mm) to 96.46 in (2,450 mm) and table load 5,512 lb (2,500 kg) to 22,046 lb (10,000 kg). Z travel is 25.98 in (660 mm) on every model.
03
The standard spindle is a CAT No.50 built-in motor unit at 10,000 rpm, rated 30 kW (40 HP) continuous and 37 kW (50 HP) at 40% ED, with 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous and 258 ft-lb (350 Nm) at 40% ED. Two alternatives are optional: a 7,000 rpm high torque spindle for roughing steel and cast iron, and a BT40 high-speed spindle at 18,000 rpm.
04
The travel, table load and spindle rows match those of the FJV BT50 series: 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 165.35 in (4,200 mm) of X, 5,512 lb (2,500 kg) to 22,046 lb (10,000 kg) on the table, CAT No.50 at 10,000 rpm. The 5 Face machines weigh 41,226 lb (18,700 kg) to 103,616 lb (46,999 kg) against 38,800 lb (17,599 kg) to 101,190 lb (45,899 kg) for the FJV BT50 series, and they carry the angle head and its 8-tool magazine as standard.
05
Start with the width of the part. Y travel runs from 31.5 in (800 mm) to 96.46 in (2,450 mm) and the distance between columns from 33.9 in (861 mm) to 98.43 in (2,500 mm), and the part and its fixture must pass between the columns. Then match X, 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 165.35 in (4,200 mm), to the part length, and check the table load. Height is the same on every size at 25.98 in (660 mm) of Z.
06
The main magazine holds 30 tools to 60 tools depending on the model. Maximum tool diameter is Ø4.92 in (125 mm), or Ø8.27 in (210 mm) when the adjacent pockets are empty. Maximum tool length is 14.96 in (380 mm) and maximum tool weight is 44 lb (20 kg). Angle tools are kept apart in a magazine that stores 8 tools.
