How much does the Mazak VTC-Ez 20 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-Ez 20 is listed as a vertical traveling column machining center with 1,740 mm (68.5 in) of X travel and 510 mm (20.1 in) in both Y and Z. Mazak's model list for the VTC-Ez series names only the VTC-Ez 25 and the VTC-Ez 30, so check with Mazak that the VTC-Ez 20 is offered in your market and treat the figures here as listed figures.
The proportions say what the machine is for. X is more than three times Y, so the envelope fits rails, extrusions and bar-like parts, or a row of smaller parts along the table. The listed table load is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). Because the table is fixed and the column travels, as in the rest of the series, the weight on the table does not have to be accelerated, and Mazak describes the table length as usable for two setups and machining zones in lieu of a two-pallet changing machine.
The spindle is the limiting part of the listing: 11 kW (15 hp) on a 40-taper, with no duty rating and no torque figure. That points to drilling, tapping and lighter milling along long parts, not to heavy steel roughing. The arm-type changer holds 20 tools. Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z on linear roller guides, under the MAZATROL SmoothEz CNC.
Series features that Mazak describes include air-cooled spindles, the Thermal Shield heat displacement compensation system and a 15-inch touchscreen. They are stated for the VTC-Ez series as a whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Mazak's model list for the VTC-Ez series names the VTC-Ez 25 and the VTC-Ez 30. The VTC-Ez 20 is not on that list, so confirm availability with Mazak. The figures on this page, such as 1,740 mm (68.5 in) of X travel and a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table load, are listed figures.
02
X travel is listed at 1,740 mm (68.5 in), Y at 510 mm (20.1 in) and Z at 510 mm (20.1 in). The long X against a short Y makes it a machine for long, narrow work. Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z.
03
The listed power is 11 kW (15 hp) on a 40-taper spindle, and no duty rating or torque is given. With 11 kW (15 hp) the size of cut in steel will be set by the spindle, not by the machine's travels, so large face mills and heavy roughing passes are not what the listing points to. Ask Mazak for the spindle output chart before planning cutting data.
04
The listed tool capacity is 20 with an arm-type automatic tool changer. On long parts with many different features that number fills quickly, so check the tool list for your part family against 20 pockets before ordering.
