Company overview
The Mazak VARIAXIS C-600 is a simultaneous five-axis vertical machining center with 25.59 x 21.65 x 20.86 inch linear travels, a 40-taper spindle platform, B/C rotary axes, MAZATROL SmoothAi, and 12,000-, 15,000-, and 20,000-rpm spindle configurations.
Industries and applications
- Maximum workpiece diameter is 28.74 in / 730 mm and height is 17.71 in / 450 mm.
- Five-axis collision-free envelope is smaller than linear travels and depends on platter, fixture, tool, and rotary position.
Technical and quote details
- X travel: 25.59 in / 650 mm.
- Y travel: 21.65 in / 550 mm.
- Z travel: 20.86 in / 530 mm.
- B travel: 150-degree tilt range.
- C travel: 360 degrees.
- Spindle interface: No. 40 / CAT 40.
- Spindle speed: 12,000, 15,000, or 20,000 rpm by configuration.
- Spindle power: configuration dependent; official table lists 11, 46, and 42 kW 30-minute ratings.
- Tool capacity: 30 tools standard; 60-, 90-, and 120-tool options available.
- Control: MAZATROL SmoothAi.
- Control: Simultaneous five-axis control.
- Control: MAZATROL and EIA/ISO programming capabilities.
- Compatibility, lineage, or lifecycle crosswalk: machine-to-spindle to CAT 40 / No. 40 tooling (conditional). Verify selected spindle, pull-stud specification, balance, tool mass and length, magazine limits, and five-axis collision envelope. Evidence: https://virtual.mazakusa.com/machine/variaxis-c-600/
Selection notes
Variables to validate
- Spindle speed and power must be tied to the selected spindle configuration.
- Linear travels do not represent the collision-free five-axis work envelope.
- Magazine, pallet pool, automation, probing, coolant, and control options require build-specific confirmation.
