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-600 is the VCN series vertical machining center listed with 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel, on a table that is 600 mm deep as well: 1,200 x 600 mm (47.2 x 23.6 in). X travel is listed at 1,050 mm (41.3 in) and Z at 510 mm (20.1 in). These are listed figures; Mazak's own published material covers the VCN series as a whole.
Depth is the point of this model. With Y travel equal to the table depth, the spindle reaches every T-slot from front to back, so vises can sit two rows deep or a square plate can be machined edge to edge without repositioning. That matches how Mazak describes the series: tables with extended Y-axis stroke so large fixtures and workpieces can be mounted. The load limit is listed at 1,200 kg (2,646 lb).
The spindle is listed as direct-drive, CAT 40 with BT 40 optional, at 12,000 RPM and 22 kW (30 hp). A 15,000 RPM spindle is an option. No duty rating or torque is given with the power figure. The magazine holds 30 tools, or 48 as an option, and the listed tool change is 1.6 seconds chip-to-chip. Through-spindle coolant is listed at 20 bar, with 70 bar optional.
Rapids differ by axis: 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) in X and Y, 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z, on linear roller guides. Mazak states that the series bed and column were designed with CAD FEA and that column distortion caused by heat displacement improved by 40% compared with the conventional model. The control is listed as MAZATROL SmoothG CNC and the machine weight as 7,800 kg (17,196 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Y travel of 600 mm (23.6 in) matches the 600 mm depth of the table, so the whole table surface is within reach front to back
- Direct-drive spindle listed at 12,000 RPM and 22 kW (30 hp), with CAT 40 standard and BT 40 optional
- Listed tool change of 1.6 seconds chip-to-chip from a 30-tool magazine
- Through-spindle coolant listed at 20 bar, with a 70 bar option
- Series structure designed with CAD FEA; Mazak states column heat-displacement distortion improved by 40% over the conventional model
Limitations
- Z rapid is listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), slower than the 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) of X and Y
- The 15,000 RPM spindle, 48-tool magazine and 70 bar coolant are all options
- X travel of 1,050 mm (41.3 in) is shorter than the 1,200 mm table length, so the table ends cannot be machined
- No duty rating or torque is listed for the 22 kW (30 hp) spindle

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Y travel is listed at 600 mm (23.6 in), the same as the depth of the 1,200 x 600 mm (47.2 x 23.6 in) table. The spindle can therefore reach the full depth of the table, which lets you mount two rows of workholding or machine a deep plate in one clamping. X travel is 1,050 mm (41.3 in) and Z is 510 mm (20.1 in).
02
The table lists CAT 40 as standard and BT 40 as an option. The spindle is direct-drive, listed at 12,000 RPM and 22 kW (30 hp), with a 15,000 RPM spindle optional. The power figure has no duty rating, so check the output chart for the continuous value.
03
The listed tool change is 1.6 seconds chip-to-chip. Rapid traverse is listed at 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) in X and Y and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. The magazine holds 30 tools as standard and 48 as an option.
04
Mazak states that the main components of the VCN series, such as the bed and column, were designed with CAD FEA to minimize distortion, and that distortion of the column caused by heat displacement is improved by 40% compared with the conventional model. That is a statement about the series design; no accuracy figure is listed for the VCN-600.
