The Mazak MTV-515 is a heavy-duty vertical machining center explicitly built to handle aggressive metal removal rates on long, high-mass workpieces. Designed with a column-feed architecture and a stationary horizontal table, it isolates axis movement to maintain supreme structural dampening under heavy cutting loads. The spacious table measures 51.18” × 21.65” (1,300 mm × 550 mm) and easily accommodates a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 3,307 lbs (1,500 kg). High productivity is driven by a massive 30 HP integral motor paired with a heavy-duty 50-taper (CAT 50 / BT 50) spindle that spins up to 6,000 RPM, generating a high-torque output of 560 ft-lbs (759 N·m) to plow through hardened steel castings and difficult engineering alloys. Axis travels provide an expansive work envelope of 41.34” (1,050 mm) in X, 20.08” (510 mm) in Y, and 22.05” (560 mm) in Z, governed by a high-precision MAZATROL CNC touch panel control system for fast setups and rapid toolpath execution.
The Mazak MTV-515 is commonly used to manufacture:
Moving the column back and forth rather than shifting a heavy table back and forth prevents part weight from altering axis dynamics, ensuring flat, true cutting precision on multi-ton workpieces.
The robust 50-taper spindle interface provides immense structural clamping force and torque transmission, easily handling massive indexable face mills without generating tool chatter or spindle stall.
The stationary horizontal table features an expansive load capacity, giving operators an open, easily accessible setup zone for loading oversized castings via overhead cranes.
Equipped with a standard 30-tool automatic changer (expandable to 60 pockets), the system quickly swaps out heavy-duty tooling configurations to minimize non-cutting cycle times.
Heavy roughing operations on bulky iron castings, raw blocks, and tough alloy forgings are where this vertical machining center excels. Because it favors high torque over high speed, the platform is heavily utilized for producing massive industrial pumps, construction machinery joints, and dense mold plates.
Standard vertical mills move the worktable along the X and Y axes, which can induce physical table sag when a 3,000-pound part shifts off-center. This machine solves that tracking problem by keeping the horizontal table stationary on the base while moving the massive rear column instead, keeping tool accuracy identical regardless of workpiece weight.
Shops can load raw stock blocks or long plates measuring up to 51.18 inches by 21.65 inches onto the worktable surface. The axis travels allow the CAT 50 tool head to navigate an active machining grid of 41.34 inches on X, 20.08 inches on Y, and 22.05 inches on Z.
The internal spindle motor outputs up to 560 ft-lbs (759 N·m) of cutting torque while scaling up to a maximum velocity of 6,000 RPM. This low-end power lets machine shops use wider indexable tool faces and deep depths of cut on difficult-to-machine metals without stalling.
Yes, the automatic tool changer is designed to accept wide, heavy 50-taper tool holders across its standard 30-pocket configuration. If a facility runs complex families of parts requiring a wide mix of large face mills, deep boring tools, and tapping heads, the tool carousels can be factory-expanded up to 60 slots.
