How much does the Mazak VC-Ez 26X 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 VC-Ez 26X is listed here as a 5-axis machining center in the VC-Ez X family, but Mazak's own model list for the VC-Ez X series names only the VC-Ez 16X and VC-Ez 20X. No X, Y or Z travels are listed for a 26X, and the two table-size rows shown for it disagree, so this page cannot give a work envelope. Read it as a pointer to the series and confirm with Mazak that the model exists in the form you need.
What is listed is the spindle and the magazine: 12,000 RPM with a CAT No. 40 taper, and 30 tools with 50 optional. Power is listed at 15 kW (20 hp) with no duty rating, and the listed rapid is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm). The VC-Ez 16X and VC-Ez 20X have the same 12,000 rpm speed and 30 tools. For scale, the VC-Ez 16X has 28 in (711 mm), 16 in (406 mm) and 16 in (406 mm) of X, Y and Z travel, and the VC-Ez 20X has 32 in (813 mm), 20 in (508 mm) and 20 in (508 mm).
Mazak's description of the series applies to the family rather than to this model by name. It covers Hybrid MX roller guideways on all linear axes, pre-tensioned ballscrews supported at both ends, a roller gear trunnion and rotary table, and Thermal Shield technology with a thermally controlled spindle. The listed control is MAZATROL SmoothEz5 with a 15-inch touchscreen, and the listed place of manufacture is Florence, Kentucky, USA.
