Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak HCN-Q 500 is a horizontal machining center that is not in Mazak's current lineup. The HCN-Q series Mazak lists today consists of the HCN-12500Q, HCN-16000Q and HCN-16800Q and their single-pallet QS versions, with no model of this name. Anyone looking at a machine offered under this name should take the listed figures as a starting point and confirm them against the machine's own plate and documentation.
The listed figures describe two different things. One group reads like a mid-size machine: travels of 730 mm (28.7 in) in X and Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z, a CAT 40 spindle at 15,000 rpm with 30 kW (40 hp), a 500 kg (1,102 lb) workpiece limit, 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids and a weight of about 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). Those travels are close to the 29 in (737 mm) of X and Y and 32 in (813 mm) of Z on the HCN-5000. The other group describes a low-speed, 50-taper spindle: 3,000 rpm maximum, a CAT No.50 tool shank and AC 45 kW (60 HP) at 40% ED.
The same split runs through the size rows. A pallet of 62.99 in × 49.21 in and a maximum workpiece of Φ118.11 in × 94.49 in do not fit inside 730 mm (28.7 in) of travel or under a 500 kg (1,102 lb) limit. The listing also gives 2 pallets as standard with PALLETECH expansion, B-axis indexing in 1-degree increments with 0.001-degree positioning optional, 40 tools as standard and a MAZATROL SmoothG CNC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed with 2 pallets as standard and PALLETECH expansion
- Listed tool capacity of 40 tools, with larger magazines optional
- Listed rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm)
- MAZATROL SmoothG CNC is the listed control
Limitations
- Not among the models Mazak lists in its HCN-Q series, so the figures cannot be tied to a current machine
- The listed spindle rows conflict: CAT 40 at 15,000 rpm in one place, CAT No.50 at 3,000 rpm in another
- A listed pallet of 62.99 in × 49.21 in does not fit listed X and Y travels of 730 mm (28.7 in)
- B-axis indexing is listed in 1-degree increments; 0.001-degree positioning is optional

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. Mazak's HCN-Q series lists six models: HCN-12500Q, HCN-12500QS, HCN-16000Q, HCN-16000QS, HCN-16800Q and HCN-16800QS. The HCN-Q 500 is not among them, so it may be an older or regional designation. The listed figures on this page should be checked against the documentation of the specific machine.
02
The listed figures give two answers. One set of rows shows a CAT 40 taper, 15,000 rpm and 30 kW (40 hp). Another shows a CAT No.50 tool shank, a maximum speed of 3,000 rpm and an output of AC 45 kW (60 HP) at 40% ED. These cannot both describe one spindle, so read the taper and speed from the machine itself before buying tooling.
03
The listed travels are 730 mm (28.7 in) in X, 730 mm (28.7 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z, with rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm). The listed pallet size of 62.99 in × 49.21 in is larger than those travels, so one of the two does not belong to this machine. Measure the pallet and check the axis strokes on the machine.
04
The listing shows 40 tools as standard, with larger magazines optional, and 2 pallets as standard with expansion through a PALLETECH system. B-axis indexing is listed in 1-degree increments, with 0.001-degree positioning as an option. The listed machine weight is about 13,000 kg (28,660 lb).
