How much does the Mazak VARIAXIS i-800 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Mazak VARIAXIS i-800 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Mazak VARIAXIS i-800 is a discontinued 50-taper 5-axis machining center with an 800 mm (31.5 in) table and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) workpiece limit. Mazak no longer lists it. The current machines of this table size are the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO and the VARIAXIS i-800T, both with a 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load. What follows are the listed figures, for anyone weighing up a used machine.

The listed spindle is 10,000 RPM with a CAT 50 taper, rated 30 kW (40 hp) continuous and 37 kW (50 hp) at 40% ED. Torque is listed at 212 Nm (156 ft-lb) continuous and 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) at 40% ED. The continuous figure equals the 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) continuous of the VARIAXIS i-800T, and it is the reason to pick a machine of this class: the spindle is sized for roughing steel and cast iron, not for running small cutters fast.

Maximum workpiece is listed at 1,000 mm in diameter and 375 mm high (39.4 x 14.8 in), so the machine suits wide, low parts better than tall ones. The A-axis range is listed at -130 to +30 degrees and the C-axis rotates a continuous 360 degrees. The table shows two sets of linear travels that do not agree with each other, so take the travels from the documentation of the machine being considered.

The magazine is listed at 30 tools standard, with 40, 80 and 120 as options, and accepts tools of 130 mm (5.1 in) diameter, 400 mm (15.7 in) length and 20 kg (44 lb). The listed rapid is 42 m/min (1,654 ipm). The machine is listed at 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) and needs 2,692 x 5,588 mm (106 x 220 in) of floor.

Discontinued: Mazak no longer lists the model, and the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO and VARIAXIS i-800T now cover this table size
Listed workpiece height is only 375 mm (14.8 in) against a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) diameter
The listed 10,000 RPM top speed limits small-tool finishing
Listed floor space of 2,692 x 5,588 mm (106 x 220 in) and a machine weight of 20,000 kg (44,092 lb)

Best For

Used-machine buyers who need 50-taper torque in a 5-axis machine Wide, low parts up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in diameter and 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) Steel and cast-iron roughing at the listed 212 Nm (156 ft-lb) continuous

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Mazak VARIAXIS i-800 still made?

No. Mazak no longer lists the VARIAXIS i-800. The current VARIAXIS i-800 NEO has a Ø31.50 in (800 mm) × 24.80 in (630 mm) table, a 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load and 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous torque. The VARIAXIS i-800T has a Ø31.50 in (800 mm) table, the same table load and 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) continuous.

02 What spindle ratings are listed for the VARIAXIS i-800?

A CAT 50 spindle at 10,000 RPM. Power is listed at 30 kW (40 hp) continuous and 37 kW (50 hp) at 40% ED, and torque at 212 Nm (156 ft-lb) continuous and 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) at 40% ED. Judge sustained roughing on the continuous figures.

03 How large a workpiece does the VARIAXIS i-800 take?

The listed maximum is 1,000 mm in diameter by 375 mm in height (39.4 x 14.8 in), with a maximum workpiece weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The table diameter is listed at 800 mm (31.5 in), so the part can overhang the table as long as it clears the enclosure.

04 What tools fit the magazine?

The listed limits are 130 mm (5.1 in) in diameter, 400 mm (15.7 in) in length and 20 kg (44 lb) in weight. The magazine is listed at 30 tools as standard, with 40, 80 and 120-tool magazines as options, so check which one a used machine carries.
