How much does the Mazak INTEGREX i-500 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak INTEGREX i-500 is a 10 in chuck multi-tasking machine with a large working envelope for its chuck size: Ø28 in (711 mm) of turning diameter, 62 in (1,575 mm) of turning length and milling spindle travels of 33 in (838 mm) in X, 17 in (432 mm) in Y and 65 in (1,651 mm) in Z. Mazak describes the INTEGREX i-500 series as joining the ease of operation and compact design of the INTEGREX i series to a machining area equivalent to that of the INTEGREX e-H series.
The figures bear that out on both sides. The 8 in chuck INTEGREX i-250 NEO has 27 in (686 mm) of X, 12 in (305 mm) of Y and 42 in (1,067 mm) of Z, so this machine is larger in every axis. The INTEGREX e-500H is close in size, with 34 in (864 mm), 20 in (508 mm) and 63 in (1,600 mm), but is a heavier class of machine: CAT50 tooling, 1,575 ipm (40 m/min) rapids and 49,824 lb (22,600 kg). The i-500 keeps HSK-A63 tooling, rapids of 1,969 ipm (50 m/min) in all three linear axes and a weight of 46,958 lb (21,300 kg).
The consequence is a machine for big parts and moderate cuts. Its milling spindle runs to 12,000 rpm and is rated 22 kW (30 HP) continuous, but continuous torque is 67.3 Nm (50 ft-lb) and the 40% ED figure is 91.4 Nm (67 ft-lb). That favours end mills, drills and finishing passes at speed over large-diameter roughing cutters. The turning spindle offers 22 kW (30 HP) continuous and 30 kW (40 HP) at 40% ED up to 4,000 rpm.
Tooling limits are generous in length: 20 in (508 mm), with Ø6 in (152 mm) allowed when adjacent pockets are empty. Mazak says special processes such as gear machining, gear hobbing and deep drilling are incorporated in the series, and names MAZATROL SmoothAi as the control. The tailstock taper is MT No.5. Allow 220 in (5,588 mm) × 134 in (3,404 mm) of floor and 116 in (2,946 mm) of height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 17 in (432 mm) of Y travel, against 12 in (305 mm) on the INTEGREX i-250 NEO, for milling well off the centreline
- 65 in (1,651 mm) of Z travel and 62 in (1,575 mm) of turning length with a Ø28 in (711 mm) turning diameter
- Rapid traverse of 1,969 ipm (50 m/min) in X, Y and Z; the INTEGREX e-500H is listed at 1,575 ipm (40 m/min)
- Tools up to 20 in (508 mm) long, and up to Ø6 in (152 mm) with adjacent pockets empty
- Mazak lists gear machining, gear hobbing and deep drilling among the special processes incorporated in the INTEGREX i-500 series
Limitations
- Continuous milling torque is 67.3 Nm (50 ft-lb), modest for an envelope this large
- A 10 in chuck and 22 kW (30 HP) continuous at the turning spindle are small against a Ø28 in (711 mm) turning diameter
- HSK-A63 with a 26 lb (12 kg) tool weight limit; the INTEGREX e-500H is the CAT50 machine of similar travels
- The table names an MT No.5 tailstock taper but gives no tailstock thrust figure
- Footprint of 220 in (5,588 mm) × 134 in (3,404 mm) and 46,958 lb (21,300 kg) for a 10 in chuck machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter is Ø28 in (711 mm) and maximum turning length is 62 in (1,575 mm). The milling spindle travels 33 in (838 mm) in X, 17 in (432 mm) in Y and 65 in (1,651 mm) in Z, and the B-axis covers -30° to +210°. The table is for Mazak's 1500U bed class, and the chuck is 10 in.
02
Travels are similar: the INTEGREX e-500H has 34 in (864 mm) of X, 20 in (508 mm) of Y and 63 in (1,600 mm) of Z. The INTEGREX e-500H uses a CAT50 taper, holds 40 tools, rapids at 1,575 ipm (40 m/min), has a 3,300 rpm turning spindle and weighs 49,824 lb (22,600 kg). The INTEGREX i-500 uses HSK-A63, holds 36 tools, rapids at 1,969 ipm (50 m/min), turns at up to 4,000 rpm and weighs 46,958 lb (21,300 kg).
03
It is built more for speed than torque. The rating is 22 kW (30 HP) continuous and 24 kW (32 HP) at 40% ED at up to 12,000 rpm, with 67.3 Nm (50 ft-lb) of continuous torque and 91.4 Nm (67 ft-lb) at 40% ED. Expect good results with smaller cutters at high speed and plan large face milling conservatively.
04
The magazine holds 36 tools on an HSK-A63 taper. Maximum tool diameter is Ø4 in (102 mm), or Ø6 in (152 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty. Maximum tool length is 20 in (508 mm) and maximum tool weight is 26 lb (12 kg).
05
The table lists a tailstock taper of MT No.5 and does not list a second spindle. No tailstock thrust figure is given for this model, so ask Mazak for it if your shafts are heavy. The INTEGREX i-500S, at 48,280 lb (21,899 kg), and the INTEGREX i-500ST, at 49,162 lb (22,300 kg), are the heavier variants on the same travels.
