How much does the Mazak VTC-800/20HD 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-800/20HD is listed as a vertical traveling column machine with a B-axis swiveling head, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y. Mazak's model list for this series names the VTC-800/30SR, VTC-800/30HD and VTC-800/30SD; the VTC-800/20HD is not on it, so the figures here are listed figures to confirm with Mazak.
The head is what defines the series. It is listed with +/-110 degrees of swivel, a 220 degree range, and indexing in 0.0001 degree increments. Mazak describes the drive as a zero-backlash roller gear cam with a servo motor, and adds an index coupling that clamps at every 5° for heavy-duty cutting. With it, vertical, horizontal and slanted surfaces can be machined in one clamping.
One point needs care. Simultaneous 5-axis machining in this series comes from an optional NC rotary table, and Mazak states that the table is compatible with the VTC-800/30SR only. On the listed evidence the VTC-800/20HD is a machine for angled faces and holes reached by indexing the head, and anyone who needs full 5-axis contouring should take that up with Mazak.
Other listed figures: a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load, 35 kW (47 hp) of spindle power with no duty rating, 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids on linear roller guides, a 30-tool arm-type changer with 60 optional, and the MAZATROL SmoothAi CNC. No Z travel is listed. For scale, the VTC-800/30SR has 118 in (2,997 mm) of X travel, 32 in (813 mm) of Y and 28 in (711 mm) of Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- B-axis head listed with +/-110 degrees of swivel and 0.0001 degree indexing increments
- Index coupling described by Mazak as clamping every 5° for heavy-duty cutting
- Listed table load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel
- Rapid traverse listed at 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on linear roller guides
- 30-tool arm-type changer with a 60-tool option
Limitations
- Mazak states the optional NC rotary table for simultaneous 5-axis machining is compatible with the VTC-800/30SR only
- Not named on Mazak's model list for the series, which shows the VTC-800/30SR, VTC-800/30HD and VTC-800/30SD
- The listed 35 kW (47 hp) has no duty rating and no torque figure is given
- No Z travel is listed, so the usable height has to come from Mazak

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Mazak's series description ties simultaneous 5-axis machining to an optional NC rotary table and states that this table is compatible with the VTC-800/30SR only. The VTC-800/20HD is listed with a B-axis swiveling head, +/-110 degrees, indexing in 0.0001 degree increments, which covers machining at any angle of vertical, horizontal and slanted surfaces. Ask Mazak directly if contouring with a rotary axis is required.
02
The VTC-800/30SR has 118 in (2,997 mm) of X travel, 32 in (813 mm) of Y, 28 in (711 mm) of Z, a CAT No.40 spindle at 18,000 rpm and 30 tools. The VTC-800/20HD is listed with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y, so it is the shorter machine of the two. Unlike the VTC-800/30SR, it does not appear on Mazak's model list for the series.
03
The listed maximum table load is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). X travel is listed at 2,000 mm (78.7 in) and Y at 800 mm (31.5 in). No Z travel is listed, so confirm the height available under the spindle for your tallest part and fixture.
04
Mazak describes an optional removable center partition that divides the machining area, so one side can be machining while the next workpiece is installed on the other. It is described for the series; confirm with Mazak whether it applies to the VTC-800/20HD.
