How much does the Mazak VORTEX i-630V/6 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 VORTEX i-630V/6 is the smaller frame of the VORTEX i-V series: a CAT No.50 5-axis machining center with a two-pallet changer, a 24.8″ × 24.8″ pallet and travels of 56 in (1,422 mm) in X and 41 in (1,041 mm) in both Y and Z. Mazak rates it for a workpiece up to Ø41.34 in (1,050 mm) by 39.37 in (1,000 mm) tall, weighing up to 3,307 lb (1,500 kg).
The spindle runs to 10,000 rpm and delivers 30 kW (40 HP) and 183 ft-lb (248 Nm) continuous, or 37 kW (50 HP) and 260 ft-lb (353 Nm) at 40% ED. That is a general-purpose 50-taper rating, with the torque for face mills in steel and cast iron and the speed for aluminium. Shops that lean one way can look at the series options Mazak lists, a 5000 rpm high-torque spindle and a 15000 rpm HSK-T100 spindle. The B-axis range is -30° to +120°, and the series drives both rotary axes through roller gear cams.
The magazine holds 43 tools. Each can be up to Ø5 in (127 mm) with its neighbours in place, or Ø10 in (254 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, and up to 66 lb (30 kg). Length is the limit to watch. It is 20 in (508 mm) here and 26 in (660 mm) on the VORTEX i-800V/8, so long-reach tooling proven on the larger machine may not transfer.
All three linear axes rapid at 2,047 ipm (52 m/min). The VORTEX i-800V/8 shares the spindle, magazine and rapids but has 67 in (1,702 mm), 59 in (1,499 mm) and 45 in (1,143 mm) of travel and carries 5,511 lb (2,500 kg). At 85,207 lb (38,649 kg), the VORTEX i-800V/8 is also the heavier machine; this one weighs 71,980 lb (32,650 kg). Installation needs 200 in (5,080 mm) × 302 in (7,671 mm) of floor with the MAZATROL SmoothAi control and 148 in (3,759 mm) of height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Mazak's configuration includes a 2 pallet changer, so the next part is set up while the first is cut
- CAT No.50 spindle with 183 ft-lb (248 Nm) continuous and 260 ft-lb (353 Nm) at 40% ED, up to 10,000 rpm
- 2,047 ipm (52 m/min) rapids on X, Y and Z
- Tools up to Ø10 in (254 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, and up to 66 lb (30 kg)
- Lighter than the VORTEX i-800V/8: 71,980 lb (32,650 kg) against 85,207 lb (38,649 kg)
Limitations
- Table load is 3,307 lb (1,500 kg); the VORTEX i-800V/8 carries 5,511 lb (2,500 kg)
- Maximum tool length is 20 in (508 mm)
- 43 tools is the only magazine figure in the table; more capacity means the series Tool Transport System or TOOL HIVE
- The 5000 rpm high-torque and 15000 rpm HSK-T100 spindles are options
- Needs 148 in (3,759 mm) of height and a 200 in (5,080 mm) × 302 in (7,671 mm) footprint

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Mazak gives a maximum workpiece of Ø41.34 in (1,050 mm) × 39.37 in (1,000 mm) and a maximum table load of 3,307 lb (1,500 kg). Travels are 56 in (1,422 mm) in X, 41 in (1,041 mm) in Y and 41 in (1,041 mm) in Z, and the B-axis range is -30° to +120°.
02
The CAT No.50 spindle runs to 10,000 rpm. Continuous ratings are 30 kW (40 HP) and 183 ft-lb (248 Nm). The 40% ED ratings are 37 kW (50 HP) and 260 ft-lb (353 Nm). Use the continuous figures when planning long roughing cuts.
03
The magazine holds 43 tools. Maximum tool diameter is Ø5 in (127 mm), or Ø10 in (254 mm) when the adjacent pockets are empty. Maximum tool length is 20 in (508 mm) and maximum tool weight is 66 lb (30 kg).
04
The VORTEX i-800V/8 is the larger frame, with 67 in (1,702 mm) of X, 59 in (1,499 mm) of Y and 45 in (1,143 mm) of Z, a 5,511 lb (2,500 kg) table load and a weight of 85,207 lb (38,649 kg). The i-630V/6 has 56 in (1,422 mm), 41 in (1,041 mm) and 41 in (1,041 mm), carries 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) and weighs 71,980 lb (32,650 kg). Spindle, tool capacity and rapids are the same on both.
05
Mazak gives a footprint of 200 in (5,080 mm) × 302 in (7,671 mm), width by length, with the MAZATROL SmoothAi control, and a machine height of 148 in (3,759 mm). Machine weight is 71,980 lb (32,650 kg), so check floor capacity and crane access as well.
