Mazak VC-500AM Hybrid Machine

The Mazak VC-500 AM HYBRID Multi-Tasking machine combines full 5-axis capability and additive technology to revolutionize product design, reduce time to market and cut R&D costs. Ideal for manufacturers who require optimum part finish and high accuracy, this compact, cost effective HYBRID Multi-Tasking machine builds part features to near net shape up to 10 times faster than other comparable systems quickly and easily without wasting expensive material and losing time by subtracting large amounts of metal from a solid material using normal Multi-Tasking machining technology.

Features:
* Handles parts measuring up to 19.7" in diameter and 12" high and weighing up to 440 pounds
* Face cladding capability gives users ability to engrave on the part’s face
* Geometric freedom vis a vis direct metal deposition allows for both additive and subtractive machining capabilities in a single setup
* Efficient turnkey solution offers DONE IN ONE® part processing
* Machine’s ergonomic design displays all of the critical machine data within a single page view, while the tilt control panel allows for optimum positioning based on operator height
* 5-axis hybrid HOT WIRE Deposition technology offers part-processing capabilities beyond those of conventional Multi-Tasking to reduce lead times and part costs, increase machining accuracy, improve part quality and achieve even higher levels of productivity, flexibility and profitability
