Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak VARIAXIS i-800 5X is a 50-taper 5-axis machining center listed with an 800 mm (31.5 in) tilting rotary table, a 10,000 RPM spindle and travels of 630 mm (24.8 in) in X, 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Y and 600 mm (23.6 in) in Z. Under this name it is not on Mazak's current model list, and the listed figures could not be matched to a manufacturer page. They help when sizing up a machine that is already on a shop floor, and should be confirmed from its own documentation.
Y is the long axis, well beyond the 630 mm (24.8 in) of X. The listed maximum workpiece is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in diameter, wider than the table, at up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Height is the tight dimension. The listed maximum is 375 mm (14.8 in), which suits broad parts such as housings, plates and rings and excludes tall ones. The A axis tilts from -130 to +30 degrees, and C rotates through 360 degrees continuously.
Spindle output is listed as 37 kW (50 hp) and 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) at 40% ED, and 30 kW (40 hp) and 212 Nm continuous. For cuts that run for minutes at a time, plan with the continuous pair. The CAT 50 magazine accepts tools up to 130 mm (5.1 in) in diameter, 400 mm (15.7 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb), which covers large face mills and long boring bars in steel and iron. A top speed of 10,000 RPM is adequate for aluminium with mid-sized cutters and slow for small ones.
Standard tool capacity is 30 tools, with 40, 80 and 120 listed as options. Rapid traverse is 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) on X, Y and Z, the control is listed as MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC, and the machine weighs 20,000 kg (44,092 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Under this name it does not appear on Mazak's current model list, and the table on this page could not be matched to a manufacturer page. Use the listed figures (an 800 mm (31.5 in) table, a CAT 50 spindle at 10,000 RPM, a machine weight of 20,000 kg (44,092 lb)) as a guide, and confirm them from the machine's own documents.
02
Power is listed as 37 kW (50 hp) at 40% ED and 30 kW (40 hp) continuous. Torque is listed as 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) at 40% ED and 212 Nm continuous. The taper is CAT 50 and the maximum speed is 10,000 RPM. Use the continuous figures for long roughing passes and the 40% ED figures only for short, intermittent cuts.
03
The listed maximum is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in diameter, 375 mm (14.8 in) in height and 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), on a table 800 mm (31.5 in) in diameter. The A axis is listed from -130 to +30 degrees and the C axis as 360 degrees continuous. Check the swing of your part and fixture at full tilt, because the height limit is low compared with the diameter.
04
The VARIAXIS i-1050 5X is the larger machine: a Ø41.34 in (1,050 mm) × 31.50 in (800 mm) table, a 4,409 lb (2,000 kg) table load and travels of 47 in (1,194 mm), 55 in (1,397 mm) and 35 in (889 mm), with the same 10,000 rpm speed and 30 kW (40 HP) continuous rating. The VARIAXIS i-1050 5X weighs 68,343 lb (31,000 kg), against the 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) listed here.
