How much does the Mazak MU Series cost?
Estimated price range
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 MU Series page covers the range Mazak writes with the Greek letter: two large horizontal machining centers, the µ-8800 and the µ-10800. Mazak presents them as machines for accurate work on big parts, and most of what it says about them concerns temperature.
Five cooling systems are named: column cooling, base cooling, ball screw core cooling, coolant temperature control and headstock cooling. Alongside those sit scale feedback for positioning and THERMAL SHIELD, an automatic compensation for changes in room temperature. Roller linear guides are used on all axes. For a shop that holds bore positions across a long shift on a large casting, these are the features to ask about in detail, since Mazak's page gives no accuracy figure for them.
The two models differ at the table. The µ-8800 comes standard with a 1° index table, while the µ-10800 has an NC rotary table with a high-accuracy scale as standard. The listed pallet is 800 mm × 800 mm (31.5 in × 31.5 in) on the µ-8800 and 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm (39.37 in × 39.37 in) on the µ-10800, and listed machine weight runs from 30,000 kg (66,000 lb) to 46,000 kg (101,413 lb) between them. A rotary-type 2-pallet changer is part of the series, with a listed pallet change time of 7.9 sec.
The listed tool shank is CAT No.50 and the listed maximum spindle speed is 10,000 rpm. Several other rows in the table on this page, among them the travels, the workpiece weight and a second set of spindle rows, describe a much smaller machine and do not fit pallets of this size. Confirm every dimension against Mazak's data for the specific model. Options named by Mazak include a robot interface, the PALLETECH system and hydraulic fixture supply from the top of the pallet changer.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Five named cooling systems: column, base, ball screw core, coolant temperature control and headstock
- THERMAL SHIELD compensation for room temperature changes, plus scale feedback for positioning
- The µ-10800 has an NC rotary table with a high-accuracy scale as standard
- Rotary-type 2-pallet changer, with a listed pallet change time of 7.9 sec
- Listed pallets of 800 mm × 800 mm (31.5 in × 31.5 in) on the µ-8800 and 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm (39.37 in × 39.37 in) on the µ-10800
Limitations
- The µ-8800 comes standard with a 1° index table, so angles between whole degrees need a different table
- The table on this page mixes rows from a smaller machine with the µ-8800 and µ-10800 figures, so each dimension needs confirming
- Robot interface, PALLETECH and hydraulic fixture supply are options or preparation specifications
- Machine weight is listed at 30,000 kg (66,000 lb) for the µ-8800 and 46,000 kg (101,413 lb) for the µ-10800, which calls for foundation planning

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Mazak lists two models in the series: the µ-8800 and the µ-10800. The listed pallet is 800 mm × 800 mm (31.5 in × 31.5 in) on the µ-8800 and 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm (39.37 in × 39.37 in) on the µ-10800. Listed machine weight is 30,000 kg (66,000 lb) and 46,000 kg (101,413 lb) respectively.
02
According to Mazak's series page, the µ-8800 comes standard with a 1° index table and the µ-10800 is equipped with an NC rotary table with a high-accuracy scale as standard. Work that needs positions between whole degrees, or rotary contouring, therefore points to the µ-10800 or to a table upgrade discussed with Mazak.
03
The series page names column cooling, base cooling, ball screw core cooling, coolant temperature control and headstock cooling. It also describes THERMAL SHIELD, an automatic compensation system for room temperature changes, and scale feedback for positioning. No accuracy figure is attached to these features on the page.
04
A rotary-type 2-pallet changer belongs to the series. Mazak lists an interface for an external robot as an option, the PALLETECH system as an option, and hydraulic fixtures supplied by hoses from the top part of the pallet changer, with preparation specifications for changing over to hydraulic fixtures after installation.
