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 that contain both rotational and complex prismatic features. Its tilting rotary table supports multi-axis positioning and contouring while providing the rotational capability required for turning operations. This configuration allows manufacturers to establish a workpiece once and complete turning, 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
• Turbine and compressor components
• Large impellers
• Gearbox and bearing housings
• Pump housings and covers
• Energy equipment components
• Complex valve bodies
• Flanged shafts and couplings
• Industrial equipment components
• Large precision castings

Why Manufacturers Choose the Mazak Variaxis i-800T

Expand 5-Axis Turning Capacity

The Variaxis i-800T provides the work envelope and 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 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.

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 between operations.
