Variaxis i-800T

Mazak Variaxis i-800T Capabilities, Applications & Regional Support

The Mazak Variaxis i-800T is available from A.W. Miller Technical Sales throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and Quebec. As an authorized Mazak distributor, A.W. Miller provides applications engineering, installation, training, and factory-certified service. Technical support is available for machine configuration, process development, and long-term production requirements.  

The Mazak Variaxis i-800T combines simultaneous 5-axis machining with turning capability for larger components up to Ø39.37” (1,000 mm) in diameter that contain both rotational and complex prismatic features. Its rigid tilting rotary table supports multi-axis positioning and contouring while delivering up to 800 RPM turning speeds for dedicated turning operations. This heavy-duty 50-taper configuration allows manufacturers to establish a workpiece once and complete turning, heavy-duty milling, drilling, and complex 5-axis operations while maintaining critical relationships between machined features.  

Applications

The Mazak Variaxis i-800T is commonly used to manufacture:

• Aerospace engine housings and turbofan components
• Turbine and compressor blades and components
• Large multi-vane impellers up to 1,100 lbs (500 kg)
• Gearbox and bearing housings requiring tight concentricity
• Pump housings and covers
• Energy industry equipment components
• Complex high-pressure valve bodies
• Flanged shafts and couplings
• Industrial equipment components
• Large precision aerospace castings

Why Manufacturers Choose the Mazak Variaxis i-800T

Expand 5-Axis Turning Capacity

The Variaxis i-800T provides a massive work envelope (X: 28.74″, Y: 33.46″, Z: 22.04″) and heavy-duty machining capability required for larger components that combine turned diameters with complex milled, drilled, and contoured features.  

Control Critical Relationships Between Features

Completing turning and milling operations from a common setup helps maintain absolute alignment between bores, diameters, mounting surfaces, bolt patterns, and other features with tight positional requirements.  

Reduce Tolerance Stack-Up Between Operations

Fewer workpiece transfers mean fewer opportunities for locating and clamping variation to affect the finished component. This is particularly important when turned and milled features share tight geometric tolerances within microns.  

Consolidate Large-Part Process Routes

Parts that would traditionally move through separate turning and multi-axis machining operations can remain on one platform, reducing intermediate handling, fixture changes, and work-in-process (WIP) between operations.
