How much does the Mazak SVC 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 SVC series is a pair of traveling-column vertical machining centers with a fixed long table and a linear motor on the X-axis. Mazak lists two models, whose codes end in /120 and /200. X travel across the two runs from 120 in (3,048 mm) to 200 in (5,080 mm), while Y and Z are 20.08 in (510 mm) each on both. The series is long and fast in one direction and deliberately modest in the other two.
The X-axis drive defines it. The linear motor gives 4,724 ipm (120 m/min) of rapid traverse in X against 1,969 ipm (50 m/min) in Y and Z, and Mazak quotes a cutting feed of 1,181 IPM on that axis. On a long part or a row of fixtures most of the non-cutting time is X positioning, so the fast axis is the one that pays. Because the column travels and the table stays put, Mazak describes three ways to use the table: one long workpiece, several setups side by side, or 2-pallet changer type operation. It adds that long workpieces can overhang the table.
Both models carry a CAT No.40 spindle that runs to 15,000 rpm, with a listed maximum torque of 52 ft-lb (71 Nm). Mazak states the standard spindle's output as 22 kW (30 HP), without a duty rating beside the figure, and offers a 25,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle as an option. That is a spindle for high-speed work in non-ferrous materials, which is how Mazak positions the series; the torque figure leaves little room for heavy roughing in steel. Tool limits are shared: Ø3.15 in (80 mm), or Ø4.33 in (110 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, 13.78 in (350 mm) long and 18 lb (8 kg).
Choosing between the two models is a question of X travel and what follows from it. Table load runs from 5,291 lb (2,400 kg) to 7,496 lb (3,400 kg), machine weight from 28,660 lb (13,000 kg) to 57,320 lb (26,000 kg) and height from 102.36 in (2,600 mm) to 112.99 in (2,870 mm), so rigging and foundation planning differ a good deal between them. Both run the touch-screen MAZATROL SmoothG control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X-axis linear motor with 4,724 ipm (120 m/min) rapid traverse and a stated cutting feed of 1,181 IPM
- X travel from 120 in (3,048 mm) to 200 in (5,080 mm) across the two models, over a fixed long table
- 15,000 rpm CAT No.40 spindle as standard, with a 25,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle offered as an option
- The stationary table takes one long workpiece, several setups in a row or what Mazak calls 2-pallet changer type operation
- MAZATROL SmoothG touch-screen control with conversational programming and a tilting operation panel
Limitations
- Y and Z travel are 20.08 in (510 mm) each on both models, so the series suits parts that are long, not wide or tall
- Listed maximum spindle torque is 52 ft-lb (71 Nm), which limits heavy roughing with large cutters
- Tools are limited to Ø3.15 in (80 mm), Ø4.33 in (110 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, and 18 lb (8 kg)
- Y and Z rapids are 1,969 ipm (50 m/min), well under half the X-axis figure
- The series table gives no magazine capacity and no table dimensions; both need confirming for the model chosen

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Mazak lists two, both named in the specification table, with model codes ending in /120 and /200. Across them X travel runs from 120 in (3,048 mm) to 200 in (5,080 mm). Y and Z travel are 20.08 in (510 mm) on both, and both share the CAT No.40 15,000 rpm spindle, the 4,724 ipm (120 m/min) X rapid and the same tool size limits.
02
Speed over a long stroke. Mazak gives an X rapid traverse of 4,724 ipm (120 m/min) and a cutting feed of 1,181 IPM, against 1,969 ipm (50 m/min) rapids in Y and Z. On a long workpiece or a line of fixtures the spindle spends much of its idle time travelling in X, and Mazak points to reduced positioning time for exactly those jobs.
03
The table lists a CAT No.40 taper, 15,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 52 ft-lb (71 Nm). Mazak's series page gives the standard spindle's output as 22 kW (30 HP) and describes it as intended for high-speed machining of non-ferrous materials. A 25,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle is available as an option.
04
The VTC-800/30SR has 118 in (2,997 mm) of X travel with 32 in (813 mm) of Y and 28 in (711 mm) of Z, an 18,000 rpm CAT No.40 spindle, 30 tools and 1,968 ipm (50 m/min) rapids on all three axes. The SVC series gives up Y and Z, at 20.08 in (510 mm) each, for a longer and much faster X: 120 in (3,048 mm) to 200 in (5,080 mm) at 4,724 ipm (120 m/min).
05
Weight and height vary widely between the two models. The series runs from 28,660 lb (13,000 kg) to 57,320 lb (26,000 kg) and from 102.36 in (2,600 mm) to 112.99 in (2,870 mm) high, with table loads from 5,291 lb (2,400 kg) to 7,496 lb (3,400 kg). Take the exact figures from the table of the model being ordered before sizing the foundation, the crane and the door opening.
06
Mazak equips the series with the MAZATROL SmoothG CNC, which has a touch screen and a panel that tilts to suit the operator. MAZATROL conversational programming builds a program from answers to on-screen questions about the drawing. Mazak also describes slider switches for adjusting cycle time, surface finish and machined shape, and a pocket-milling function that holds a constant cutter engagement angle.
