How much does the Mazak VTC-530C 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 VTC-530C is listed as a 50-taper vertical traveling column machining center with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel, 760 mm (29.9 in) of Y and 660 mm (26.0 in) of Z, and a table load of 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). These are listed figures; Mazak's model list for the VTC series names the VTC-200C, VTC-300C and VTC-250D, and does not include this model.
Set against the VTC-300C, the cross section is the same and the length is not: the VTC-300C has 760 mm of Y travel and 660 mm of Z as well, but 1670 mm of X and CAT No.40 tooling with 24 tools. The VTC-530C listing adds X travel and moves to the larger taper, with spindle power listed at 30 kW (40 hp). No duty rating or torque comes with that figure.
The fixed table is what makes the load figure usable. Mazak describes the VTC layout as a fixed table with a traversing spindle, with nothing mounted at the table ends, so a 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) weldment or casting is set down once and never accelerated. The same description covers robots and hydraulic fixtures, which Mazak says are easily installed on the fixed table.
Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and the arm-type changer at 30 tools, with 48 optional. The machine is listed at 14,000 kg (30,865 lb), so foundation and rigging need planning. The control is listed as MAZATROL SmoothG, with MAZATROL conversational programming described for the series.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 50-taper spindle listed at 30 kW (40 hp) for large cutters on long parts
- Listed table load of 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) on a fixed table
- Envelope listed at 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 760 mm (29.9 in) by 660 mm (26.0 in)
- Linear roller guides on all axes, with a 30-tool arm-type changer and 48 tools optional
Limitations
- Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), which adds non-cutting time over 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X
- Not on Mazak's model list for the VTC series, so the listed figures need confirming
- The 30 kW (40 hp) spindle power is listed without a duty rating or torque
- At 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) the machine needs a prepared floor and heavy rigging

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The VTC-300C has 1670 mm of X travel, 760 mm of Y, 660 mm of Z, CAT No.40 tooling and 24 tools. Against the VTC-300C, the VTC-530C is listed with the same Y and Z, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X, a 50-taper spindle and 30 tools. The VTC-300C is on Mazak's model list for the series; the VTC-530C is not.
02
The listed maximum table load is 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). Since the table is fixed and the spindle column travels, the part is not moved during cutting. Mazak also notes for the series that no equipment sits at the ends of the long table, so a workpiece may overhang it.
03
30 kW (40 hp), on a 50-taper spindle. The listing gives no duty rating, so it is not known whether that is a continuous or a short-time figure, and no torque is listed. Get the spindle output chart from Mazak before settling cutting data for heavy roughing.
04
The machine weight is listed at 14,000 kg (30,865 lb). Add the 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) maximum table load when checking the floor, and plan the lift and transport route for a machine with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel.
