Variaxis i-1050T

Complex aerospace components can remain on one platform with the Mazak Variaxis i-1050T. This large 5-axis mill-turn center combines a CAT 50 milling spindle with a turning table for multi-face cutting, simultaneous contouring, and rotational machining. Its 41.34-inch table and Maza-Check calibration support aerospace component process integration on a rigid turning-table machining center.

 

Variaxis i-1050T Features:

  • 41.34-inch rotary table
  • Maximum workpiece size of 49.21 x 35.43 inches
  • CAT 50 milling spindle
  • 10,000 rpm maximum spindle speed
  • Simultaneous 5-axis machining and turning
  • Maza-Check rotary-axis calibration

Description
Large 5-Axis Machining with Turning

The Variaxis i-1050T combines a large tilting rotary table with a CAT 50 milling spindle and turning capability. Workpieces up to 49.21 inches in diameter and 35.43 inches high can remain on one platform for multi-face milling, simultaneous 5-axis contouring, and rotational machining. This reduces the number of setups required for components with both prismatic and turned features.

 

Full-Gantry Construction and Thermal Control

The machine uses a full-gantry structure without spindle-head overhang to limit vibration during acceleration and complex tool motion. Temperature-controlled oil circulates around the spindle bearings and headstock to reduce thermal movement. These design elements support stable tool-center positioning during long programs and across changing spindle loads.

 

Rotary-Axis Accuracy for Complex Components

Maza-Check automatically measures and compensates for rotary-axis center misalignment and angular error. This helps maintain the relationship between surfaces produced at different A- and C-axis positions. The combination of calibration, turning-table capability, and 5-axis access makes the i-1050T applicable to large aerospace, energy, and industrial components requiring several coordinated machining processes.
