How much does the Mazak VCE-700 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak VCE-700 is a box-way, 40-taper vertical machining center with listed travels of 1,270 × 700 × 560 mm (50 × 27.6 × 22 in) and a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). It is not in Mazak's current lineup, so the listed figures should be confirmed on the machine before they are relied on.
Box ways are the feature to notice in this table. Sliding ways damp vibration well and cope with interrupted cuts, usually at some expense in traverse speed. Here the rapid is listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on all three axes, so check on a used machine that the ways and their lubrication are in good order, since that is where the wear will be.
The envelope is deep for its length. Y travel of 700 mm (27.6 in) matches the table width, so the spindle reaches the full depth of the table, and the table runs a little past the 1,270 mm (50 in) of X at each end. With 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) of table load there is room for a substantial fixture as well as the part.
The listed spindle is 12,000 RPM at 18.5 kW (25 hp), with 15,000 and 20,000 RPM versions as options. Taper is CAT 40, with BT 40 optional. Neither a duty rating nor a torque figure is given, which makes it hard to judge roughing capacity from the table alone. The magazine holds 30 tools, with 48 or 60 optional, and through-spindle coolant is listed at 20 bar with 70 bar optional. Listed weight is 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) and the listed control is MAZATROL SmoothG.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Box ways on a machine with 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) rapids on all three axes
- Y travel of 700 mm (27.6 in) across the full width of a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table
- Table load of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb)
- Spindle options of 15,000 and 20,000 RPM above the listed 12,000 RPM
- Through-spindle coolant listed at 20 bar, with 70 bar optional
- Magazine of 30 tools, expandable to 48 or 60 tools as an option
Limitations
- Not in Mazak's current lineup; confirm the listed figures on the machine
- No duty rating or torque is given with the 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle figure
- Z travel of 560 mm (22 in) is short next to 700 mm (27.6 in) of Y, which limits tall parts
- Spindle speed, taper, magazine and coolant pressure all had options, so two machines may differ widely

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed guideway type is box ways. The listed rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X, Y and Z. On a used machine, inspect the way surfaces and the lubrication system, because sliding ways depend on both.
02
Listed travels are 1,270 mm (50 in) in X, 700 mm (27.6 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z. The table is 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) and the maximum table load is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
03
The listed spindle is 12,000 RPM at 18.5 kW (25 hp), with 15,000 and 20,000 RPM spindles as options. The taper is CAT 40, with BT 40 optional. The table gives no duty rating and no torque for any of them.
04
The listed magazine holds 30 tools, and 48 or 60 tools are listed as options. Because the magazine was optional equipment, count the pockets on the machine being considered and do not assume the larger size.
05
The listed through-spindle coolant is 20 bar, with 70 bar as an option. Check which pump is fitted on a used machine, since drilling deep holes with small through-coolant tools depends on the higher pressure.
