How much does the Mazak VARIAXIS i NEO cost?
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 NEO is a series name covering three listed 5-axis machining centers, the i-600 NEO, i-700 NEO and i-800 NEO, and not a single machine. The series entry itself is not matched to Mazak's current lineup and may reflect an older listing, so the figures below are the listed ones. The individual models carry their own tables.
The listed data separates the three by part size and spindle. Maximum workpiece diameter is listed at 700 mm (27.6 in) for the i-600, 850 mm (33.5 in) for the i-700 and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) for the i-800, with listed heights of 450 mm (17.7 in), 500 mm (19.7 in) and 415 mm (16.3 in). Spindle speed is listed at 18,000 RPM on the No.40 i-700 and 10,000 RPM on the No.50 i-800. All three are listed with a built-in motor spindle with core cooling, full gantry construction without overhang, an A-axis range of +30 to -120 degrees and a continuous 360 degree C-axis.
Size a job from the model tables. The 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 30 kW (40 HP) continuous at 10,000 rpm. The VARIAXIS i-700 NEO has a 1,543 lb (700 kg) table load and 26 kW (35 HP) continuous at 18,000 rpm. The listed magazine is 30 tools standard with 40, 80 and 120 as options, and the listed control is MAZATROL SmoothAi.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Three listed sizes, with maximum workpiece diameters of 700 mm (27.6 in), 850 mm (33.5 in) and 1,000 mm (39.4 in)
- Listed spindles range from 18,000 RPM on the i-700 to a No.50 spindle at 10,000 RPM on the i-800
- Listed magazine options of 40, 80 and 120 tools above the standard 30
- Listed full gantry construction without overhang and a built-in motor spindle with core cooling
Limitations
- A series-level listing: travels, loads and power must be taken from a model table, such as the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO with its 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load
- The series entry is not matched to Mazak's current lineup, so the listed figures may be dated
- Listed workpiece height on the i-800 is 415 mm (16.3 in), lower than the 500 mm (19.7 in) of the i-700

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed models are the i-600 NEO, i-700 NEO and i-800 NEO. They step up in maximum workpiece diameter, listed at 700 mm (27.6 in), 850 mm (33.5 in) and 1,000 mm (39.4 in), and each has its own page with a full table.
02
By workpiece and spindle. The listed maximum workpiece height is 450 mm (17.7 in) on the i-600, 500 mm (19.7 in) on the i-700 and 415 mm (16.3 in) on the i-800, so the largest diameter comes with the lowest height. The i-700 is listed with an 18,000 RPM No.40 spindle and the i-800 with a 10,000 RPM No.50 spindle.
03
The VARIAXIS i-800 NEO has a 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load, 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous torque and 30 kW (40 HP) continuous at 10,000 rpm. The VARIAXIS i-700 NEO has a 1,543 lb (700 kg) table load, 76 ft-lb (103 Nm) continuous and 26 kW (35 HP) continuous at 18,000 rpm.
04
The series entry on this page is not matched to Mazak's current lineup and may be an older listing. Individual NEO models have their own pages; the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO, for example, has travels of 30 in (762 mm), 35 in (889 mm) and 24 in (610 mm). Use those pages for purchase decisions.
