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 J-600/5X is a 5-axis machining center with a 600 mm tilting rotary table rated for 500 kg, listed with travels of 730 / 510 / 510 mm in X, Y and Z. It does not appear on Mazak's current model list, and nothing in its table could be matched to a manufacturer page. What follows is drawn from the listed figures only, for someone weighing up an existing machine.

The work envelope is larger than the table. A part up to 700 mm in diameter and 450 mm high is listed, on a table 600 mm across. The B axis is listed with a tilt range of ±110° and the C axis with 360° of rotation. A symmetrical tilt would let a part be laid over to either side, which helps when features on opposite flanks must be reached without re-clamping. Verify the tilt range on the machine itself, since it decides which faces can be reached.

The standard spindle runs to 12,000 rpm with 18.5 kW, and an 18,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option. No taper, torque or duty rating is given, so the table cannot say whether 18.5 kW is a continuous figure. Through-spindle coolant is listed at 70 bar, enough pressure to flush chips out of deep drilled holes. The magazine holds 30 tools as standard, with 60 listed as an option, and the control is MAZATROL SmoothAi.

Several things a buyer needs are absent from the table: rapid traverse, tool size limits, machine weight and floor space. Get those from the machine's documentation before arranging transport or planning a job.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the VARIAXIS J-600/5X in Mazak's current range?

No, it is not on Mazak's current model list, and its table here could not be matched to a manufacturer page. The listed figures, such as the 600 mm table, the 500 kg load and the 730 / 510 / 510 mm travels, are a guide to be confirmed against the nameplate and manuals of the machine in question.

02 What spindle options are listed for the VARIAXIS J-600/5X?

The standard spindle is listed at 12,000 rpm and 18.5 kW, and an 18,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option. The table gives no taper, no torque and no duty rating. Through-spindle coolant is listed at 70 bar. Check which spindle the machine you are looking at was built with.

03 How large a part can the VARIAXIS J-600/5X hold?

The listed maximum workpiece is 700 mm in diameter and 450 mm high, with a table load of 500 kg on a 600 mm table. The B axis is listed at ±110° of tilt and the C axis at 360°. The X travel of 730 mm is slightly more than the maximum workpiece diameter.

04 How does the VARIAXIS J-600/5X compare with the VARIAXIS C-600?

The VARIAXIS C-600 has the same table diameter and load, Ø23.62 in (600 mm) and 1,102 lb (500 kg), and the same 12,000 rpm standard speed with 30 tools. Travels on the VARIAXIS C-600 are 26 in (660 mm), 22 in (559 mm) and 21 in (533 mm), against the 730 / 510 / 510 mm listed here, and its spindle is rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous.
