Mazak launches 5-axis machining center optimized for automation

December 23, 2019

Designed for seamless integration with robotic systems

Yamazaki Mazak has developed the VARIAXIS C-600, a simultaneous 5-axis machining center engineered to meet growing demand for automation compatibility. The machine is optimized for use with articulated robots, and an optional automatic door system is available to facilitate unmanned loading and unloading.

The machine’s flat machining area ensures a wide range of motion for the robot hand, supporting efficient workpiece handling. The C-600 is equipped with the MAZATROL Smooth Ai CNC, which also supports robot teaching, allowing users to streamline setup for automation systems.

High rigidity and precision machining

The rotary table supports the workpiece at two points on both ends, enhancing rigidity. A roller gear cam drive is used for the B and C axes, enabling both high-speed and high-accuracy machining.

The VARIAXIS C-600 accommodates workpieces up to 730 mm in diameter and 450 mm in height, with a maximum loading weight of 500 kg.
