I did not see a mazak only forum, so I will post here.
I went and watched a 2001 mazak VTC 200b in operation yesterday and was amazed how much this machine moved around with the rapids at full speed (1181 I believe). I can’t see how this machine would cut good parts at higher feed rates. This machine is not a normal c frame machine. The table is completely stationery and xyz all move about the part. Has any one here run both one of these and a good c frame machine for comparison?
