How much does the Mazak VCN-535C 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 VCN-535C puts a BT 50 spindle on a compact vertical frame: listed travels are 1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 530 mm (20.9 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z, with 10,000 RPM and 30 kW (40 hp) at the spindle. Mazak's current lineup does not include it, so it may be an older model, and the numbers below are listed figures to verify on the machine itself.
A 50-taper spindle in this envelope is about tool stiffness, not reach. Large face mills, long boring bars and big drills sit more securely in the bigger taper, and the table is listed to carry 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on 1,300 x 550 mm (51.2 x 21.7 in). What the table does not give is a torque figure or a duty rating for the 30 kW (40 hp), and those two decide how hard the spindle can be pushed at low speed. Ask for the output chart.
The heavier tooling shows in the motion figures. Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and the arm-type changer at 2.0 sec tool to tool, with 30 tools standard and 48 optional. Guides are linear roller type on all axes and the control is listed as MAZATROL SmoothG.
The machine is listed at 7,800 kg (17,196 lb) on a footprint of 2,870 x 2,819 mm (113 x 111 in). For comparison, the FJV-35/60, with a CAT No.50 spindle and the same 10,000 rpm top speed, weighs 38,800 lb (17,599 kg) and has 59.06 in (1,500 mm) of X travel, so the VCN-535C is the far lighter and shorter machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- BT 50 spindle listed at 10,000 RPM and 30 kW (40 hp) in a machine with only 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel
- Listed table load of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a 1,300 x 550 mm (51.2 x 21.7 in) table
- Linear roller guides are listed on all three axes
- Listed footprint of 2,870 x 2,819 mm (113 x 111 in) and weight of 7,800 kg (17,196 lb) keep installation demands moderate for a 50-taper machine
Limitations
- Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and tool changes at 2.0 sec tool to tool, so it is not a machine for short-cycle small parts
- The 10,000 RPM top speed limits small-diameter tools in aluminium
- No torque figure or duty rating is listed for the 30 kW (40 hp) spindle
- Not in Mazak's current lineup; the listed figures must be checked against the machine's own documents

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed spindle is BT 50 at 10,000 RPM and 30 kW (40 hp). The larger taper holds big face mills, long boring bars and large drills more rigidly than a smaller taper would, at the cost of heavier tools and a slower change, listed at 2.0 sec tool to tool. No torque figure is listed, so ask for the spindle output chart before planning heavy roughing.
02
It is not in Mazak's current lineup and may be an older model. Anyone assessing a second-hand VCN-535C should confirm the listed 1,050 mm (41.3 in), 530 mm (20.9 in) and 510 mm (20.1 in) travels, the 30 or 48 tool magazine and the spindle data from the machine's nameplate and manual.
03
The listed table load is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a table of 1,300 x 550 mm (51.2 x 21.7 in). The table is longer than the 1,050 mm (41.3 in) X travel, so part of its length is clamping room. Count the fixture, any rotary table and the part together against the load limit.
04
The listed footprint is 2,870 x 2,819 mm (113 x 111 in) and the listed weight is 7,800 kg (17,196 lb). Allow extra room around the footprint for the doors, the tool magazine and chip removal, and check the floor for the machine weight plus the 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) maximum table load.
