The Mazak MTV-515 is a robust Vertical CNC system, built for heavy-duty cutting and precise part production. This BT50 vertical machining center combines structural rigidity, high spindle power, and a column-feed configuration. As a result, it has the capability to maintain accuracy and repeatability during demanding operations. These features make it ideal for manufacturers prioritizing high productivity, consistent part quality, and dependable long-term performance.
The MTV-515 is equipped with Mazatrol Smooth G, a control platform that shortens setup times and simplifies programming for complex geometries. In addition, its high-speed data processing and intuitive interface support both high-mix, low-volume environments and large-scale production. By integrating seamlessly into modern Vertical CNC systems, it improves part throughput while maintaining process stability.
With its large table vertical mill design, the MTV-515 accommodates oversized workpieces while ensuring stable performance. Featuring a wide base and rigid frame, it provides excellent vibration damping, which improves surface finishes and extends tool life. The BT50 vertical machining center configuration also enhances tool stability for deep cuts and fine finishes, while the column-feed architecture increases precision and durability during extended production runs.

The Mazak MTV-515 is the most compact machine in this MTV group, combining a BT50 spindle with a 51.18 × 21.65 inch table and a 3,307-pound load rating. It gives manufacturers a heavy-cutting vertical platform for dense castings, tooling blocks, and industrial housings that fit within a moderate travel range. The column-feed structure and high spindle torque prioritize tool stiffness and controlled material removal. A.W. Miller Technical Sales is an authorized Mazak distributor serving manufacturers throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec, with applications engineering, installation, training, and factory-certified service.
Published travel is 41.33 inches in X, 20.08 inches in Y, and 22.05 inches in Z. The 6,000 RPM BT50 spindle produces 560 ft-lb at the stated duty rating, and the standard magazine stores 30 tools. X and Y rapid traverse rates are 1,024 IPM, with 787 IPM on Z. The final configuration should be checked against the part, fixture, tooling, spindle demand, and automation plan.
Part families matched to the Mazak MTV-515 include:
The table supports substantial evenly distributed loads within a smaller footprint than the MTV-655 and MTV-815.
The BT50 spindle supports larger cutters and demanding cuts, with torque at the actual programmed speed verified against the spindle curve.
The 41.33 × 20.08 × 22.05 inch travel range serves heavy parts that do not require the longer tables and wider envelopes of the larger MTV models.
Standard storage covers a focused process, while the 60-tool option adds room for complex operations, sister tools, and multiple recurring jobs.
The table measures 51.18 × 21.65 inches and carries 3,307 pounds as an evenly distributed load. Fixture mass, concentrated loading, support points, overhang, and loading access must also be evaluated.
Published travel is 41.33 inches in X, 20.08 inches in Y, and 22.05 inches in Z. Tool length, fixture height, clamps, and spindle approach determine usable part access.
Yes. The machine publishes a 6,000 RPM BT50 spindle with 560 ft-lb at the 40-percent duty rating. Tool diameter, holder projection, material, engagement, and torque at cutting speed remain process-specific.
Mazak lists 30-tool standard capacity and a 60-tool option. The larger magazine is useful for broad tool lists, redundant tools, probing, multiple fixtures, or longer unattended operation.
The MTV-515 has a smaller table and 41.33-inch X travel. The MTV-655 adds 59.05- or 78.74-inch X travel, 25.59-inch Y and Z travels, and higher table capacity while retaining a similar BT50 torque profile.
