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 VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 XP is the high-power version of Mazak's 5-axis horizontal profiler: a 30,000 rpm spindle rated 120 kW (161 HP) continuous, working over a 157.48 in (4,000 mm) × 62.99 in (1,600 mm) table with 165 in (4,191 mm) of X travel.

That power figure defines the machine. Continuous torque is only 31 ft-lb (42 Nm), so the 120 kW (161 HP) arrives at very high spindle speed. It is the combination used to remove light alloy at a high rate with cutters of modest diameter, and the tool limits confirm it: Ø3 in (76 mm) maximum diameter, 8 in (203 mm) maximum length and 11 lb (5 kg). The VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 has a 26,000 rpm spindle with 45 kW (60 HP) and 13.2 ft-lb (18 Nm) continuous, so the XP has well over twice the continuous power on the same travels.

The XP changes three other things. Its table is 62.99 in (1,600 mm) wide where the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 has 49.21 in (1,250 mm), its magazine holds 60 tools, and its C-axis range is ±360°. The A-axis range is ±110°. Travels of 165 in (4,191 mm), 59 in (1,499 mm) and 22 in (559 mm), the 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) table load and rapids of 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) in X and 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) in Y and Z are common to both models.

The VORTEX Horizontal Profiler series has one spindle option reserved for this model, a high-torque version with the same 120 kW continuous output and 61 ft-lb of continuous torque. Through-spindle coolant at 1.5 MPa (218 PSI) is standard in the series, with 3.5 MPa (508 PSI) and 7.0 MPa (1015 PSI) optional. The spindle tool shank is given as HSK-A63/80mz. Installation takes 406 in (10,312 mm) × 378 in (9,601 mm) of floor, 181 in (4,597 mm) of height and a foundation for 154,321 lb (69,999 kg).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

120 kW (161 HP) continuous at up to 30,000 rpm, against 45 kW (60 HP) continuous on the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160
62.99 in (1,600 mm) table width with 59 in (1,499 mm) of Y travel
60-tool magazine, double the 30 of the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160
C-axis range of ±360° with ±110° on A
The VORTEX Horizontal Profiler series offers a high-torque spindle, 61 ft-lb continuous, for this model only

Limitations

Standard continuous torque is 31 ft-lb (42 Nm), so slow, heavy cutting is not what the machine is for
Tools are limited to Ø3 in (76 mm) diameter, 8 in (203 mm) length and 11 lb (5 kg)
Z travel is 22 in (559 mm), with the spindle nose 2 in (51 mm) to 24 in (610 mm) from the table
154,321 lb (69,999 kg) and a 406 in (10,312 mm) × 378 in (9,601 mm) footprint demand a prepared site
Mazak's table gives no electrical supply figure for the 120 kW (161 HP) spindle, so confirm it before planning the installation

Best For

High-rate roughing of light-alloy plate with 120 kW (161 HP) continuous Wide panels on the 62.99 in (1,600 mm) table Long parts within 165 in (4,191 mm) of X travel Jobs that need many cutters from the 60-tool magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the XP add over the VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160?

Spindle power, table width, tool capacity and C-axis range. The XP has 120 kW (161 HP) continuous at 30,000 rpm, a 62.99 in (1,600 mm) wide table, 60 tools and ±360° on C. The VORTEX HORIZONTAL PROFILER 160 has 45 kW (60 HP) continuous at 26,000 rpm, a 49.21 in (1,250 mm) wide table and 30 tools. Travels and table load are the same.

02 How much power and torque does the spindle have?

The standard spindle is rated 120 kW (161 HP) and 31 ft-lb (42 Nm), both continuous, with a top speed of 30,000 rpm. With so little torque, full power is only reached at high speed, which is why the machine suits fast cutting of light alloys with small and medium tools.

03 Is there a high-torque spindle?

Yes. The VORTEX Horizontal Profiler series has a high-torque spindle option with 120 kW continuous output and 61 ft-lb of continuous torque, and Mazak states it is optional for the 160 XP only. The standard spindle has 31 ft-lb (42 Nm) continuous.

04 What coolant does the machine use?

For the series, Mazak lists 1.5 MPa (218 PSI) through-spindle coolant as standard and 3.5 MPa (508 PSI) or 7.0 MPa (1015 PSI) systems as options. Headstock cleaning coolant is also standard, and the coolant tank is separate from the chip conveyor.

05 What does the site need to provide?

Floor space of 406 in (10,312 mm) × 378 in (9,601 mm), width by length, as Mazak quotes it with MAZAK FX, and 181 in (4,597 mm) of height. The machine weighs 154,321 lb (69,999 kg). The table carries up to 6,614 lb (3,000 kg), so lifting gear for parts of that weight is needed too.
