The Mazak MTV-655 is a BT50 vertical machining center positioned between the MTV-515 and MTV-815 in table size and travel. Two table lengths provide 59.05 or 78.74 inches of X travel while retaining the same 25.59-inch Y- and Z-axis ranges. This gives manufacturers a heavy-cutting platform for long castings, plates, and fixtures without moving to the larger 815-size work zone. 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.
The shorter MTV-655 uses a 68.5 × 25.59 inch table rated for 4,409 pounds. The longer configuration uses an 88.18 × 25.59 inch table rated for 5,511 pounds. Both have a 6,000 RPM BT50 spindle with 560 ft-lb published peak torque, 30-tool storage, 25.59 inches of Y and Z travel, and 1,024 IPM rapid traverse on X and Y. Final capacity and equipment should be confirmed against the complete part, workholding, tooling, and automation plan.
Applications commonly evaluated for the Mazak MTV-655 include:
The available table lengths provide different longitudinal reach and load capacity while keeping the same cross-axis travels and spindle platform.
The spindle interface and published torque support large tools and substantial cutting loads across steel, cast iron, and other demanding materials.
The table carries the workpiece while the column supplies axis motion, supporting long or high-mass fixtures through the programmed path.
The standard capacity supports a focused process, with a 60-tool option available when additional operations, sister tools, or multiple jobs require it.
The shorter configuration provides 59.05 inches of X travel and a 4,409-pound table rating. The longer configuration provides 78.74 inches of X travel and a 5,511-pound rating. Both retain 25.59-inch Y and Z travels, so the decision should be based on the complete part, fixture length, load distribution and loading method.
The shorter table measures 68.5 × 25.59 inches, while the longer table measures 88.18 × 25.59 inches. Fixture footprint, support, loading access, and part overhang should be reviewed with the chosen table.
The 6,000 RPM BT50 spindle publishes 560 ft-lb at the 40-percent duty rating and 454 ft-lb continuously. The applicable torque at cutting speed must be checked against the complete spindle curve.
Yes. Mazak lists 30-tool standard storage and a 60-tool option. The decision should account for the full tool list, adjacent-tool restrictions, redundant tools, probing, tool life, and job mix.
The MTV-655 fits applications that need BT50 torque and long X travel but remain within a 25.59-inch Y and Z range. The MTV-815 adds a wider 31.89-inch Y envelope, more Z travel, and higher table capacity.
