The Mazak VARI-AXIS 500-5X is a used milling machine — sometimes referred to as a machining centre — designed for precision metal cutting and complex component manufacturing across multiple axes simultaneously. Mazak is a globally recognised manufacturer of CNC machine tools, producing turning centres, milling machines, and multi-axis machining systems for industries including aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering.
This machine is configured for full 5-axis simultaneous machining, enabling the production of highly complex geometries in a single setup. It is equipped with a dual-pallet system, each pallet measuring 500 x 400 mm, which allows one workpiece to be loaded and prepared while another is being machined, improving throughput and reducing downtime. The maximum workpiece height is 405 mm.
The spindle delivers 12 kW of power with a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm, and accepts tooling in BT40 (ISO) taper format — a widely used standard in precision milling applications. Axis travel is 510 mm on the Y-axis and 460 mm on the Z-axis. The automatic tool changer holds 40 positions, providing considerable tool variety without manual intervention.
The machine is fitted with a Renishaw measuring probe for in-process gauging and workpiece verification, along with a coolant pump to support continuous cutting operations. Control is handled by a Mazatrol 640M CNC unit. According to the seller, the machine has had only one previous owner and was used exclusively for machining aluminium parts throughout its working life. It is currently located in Belgium.
