The Mazak Variaxis i-700T is a versatile 5-axis multi-tasking CNC machine designed for high-precision, high-value part production. Mazak engineers combined vertical machining with turning in one platform. This allows multiple operations in one setup, reducing transfers, improving accuracy, and shortening cycle time. In addition, its ability to process prismatic and rotational components makes it ideal for aerospace, energy, and precision manufacturing environments.
Built as a 5-axis mill-turn center, the i-700T handles intricate geometries and compound angles in one continuous cycle. By synchronizing milling and turning operations, it improves part quality while minimizing setups and operator intervention. In addition, its rigid construction preserves accuracy in heavy cuts, and its compact footprint fits high-mix, high-throughput cells. This combination of speed and stability helps manufacturers respond quickly to changing demand while maintaining consistent output.
The SmoothX CNC control delivers fast, intuitive programming and real-time process optimization. The system manages tool paths smoothly, even at spindle speeds up to 18,000 rpm. In addition, real-time thermal compensation and adaptive control keep accuracy consistent during long production runs. With capacity for parts up to 850 mm in diameter and 500 mm high, the i-700T is a strategic solution for shops seeking flexible, multi-tasking performance with advanced control and repeatable precision.

The Mazak Variaxis i-700T is available from A.W. Miller Technical Sales throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec. A.W. Miller provides applications engineering and technical support for manufacturers evaluating advanced 5-axis machining processes. Installation, training, and factory-certified service are also available throughout the machine’s operational life.
The Mazak Variaxis i-700T combines simultaneous 5-axis milling with turning capability, allowing rotational features and complex milled geometry to be produced on the same machine. The tilting rotary table provides controlled workpiece positioning for multi-surface machining while also functioning as a turning table for cylindrical features. This configuration is particularly effective for components that require both prismatic and rotational machining, reducing the need to transfer partially completed parts between a machining center and a lathe.
The Mazak Variaxis i-700T is commonly used to manufacture:
Integrated turning capability allows cylindrical features to be machined alongside complex 5-axis milled geometry, eliminating separate lathe operations for many components.
Keeping the workpiece on the same machine reduces the need to re-establish part location between turning and milling operations. This helps maintain concentricity and positional relationships between rotational and prismatic features.
Five-axis tool access allows the spindle and workpiece to be oriented for complex surfaces, angled bores, deep features, and other geometry that can be difficult to reach with conventional machining strategies.
Components containing both turned diameters and complex milled features can follow a shorter process route, reducing intermediate setups, workpiece transfers, and fixture requirements.
The Mazak Variaxis i-700T is designed for components that require both simultaneous 5-axis milling and turning. It’s particularly suited for complex parts containing rotational features, angled surfaces, bores, pockets, and contoured geometry that would otherwise require multiple machining processes.
The “T” identifies the machine’s turning capability. In addition to 5-axis milling, the rotary table can support turning operations, allowing manufacturers to machine cylindrical and rotational features without transferring the component to a separate lathe.
A conventional 5-axis machining center primarily performs milling, drilling, and related cutting operations. The Variaxis i-700T adds turning capability, making it better suited for components that combine rotational geometry with complex milled features.
Turning and milling features while the workpiece remains in the same machine reduces the number of times the part must be relocated. This helps preserve the original workpiece datum and maintain accurate relationships between bores, diameters, faces, and milled features.
The Variaxis i-700T is particularly useful when a component requires substantial turning and multi-axis milling with tight relationships between those features. Consolidating both processes can reduce setups, workpiece handling, fixture requirements, and tolerance accumulation between operations.
