MAZAK VTC250D/50 – 2006
USED MAZAK VTC250D/50 – 2006
The MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 is a heavy-duty CNC Vertical Machining Center designed for machining large and long components. The machine combines a large work envelope with a CAT 50 spindle, 30 HP spindle motor, and 24-tool automatic tool changer, making it well suited for applications requiring substantial cutting power and rigidity.
The VTC250D/50 is particularly useful for machining long workpieces because of its extended X-axis travel and large table. The machine provides approximately 69.3 inches of X-axis travel, 25 inches of Y-axis travel, and 25.6 inches of Z-axis travel, along with an approximately 82.7″ × 25″ table.
The 50-taper spindle is a major advantage for heavy-duty machining. Compared with lighter CAT 40 vertical machining centers, the CAT 50 configuration is better suited to demanding cutting applications where spindle rigidity and torque are important.
A 2006 MAZAK VTC250D/50 can be a practical choice for manufacturers machining large plates, structural components, molds, fixtures, aerospace components, and other extended workpieces. Depending on the individual machine, options can include Mazatrol Fusion 640M control, through-spindle coolant, chip conveyor, probing, automatic tool measurement, and fourth-axis rotary equipment.

WHY CHOOSE MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006
The main advantage of the MAZAK VTC250D/50 is its combination of a large work envelope and heavy-duty CAT 50 spindle.
The nearly 70-inch X-axis travel makes this machine particularly useful for long components that cannot easily be accommodated on smaller vertical machining centers. The 30 HP spindle and 50-taper tooling provide the rigidity required for heavier cutting applications.
The large table also provides considerable flexibility for multiple fixtures or larger workpieces. Depending on configuration, fourth-axis equipment, probing, through-spindle coolant, and chip management can further expand its production capabilities.
WHY BUY USED MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006
Purchasing a used MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 can provide substantial vertical machining capacity without the investment required for a new large-format machining center.
Depending on configuration, a used machine may include:
- CAT 50 spindle
- 30 HP spindle motor
- 6,000 RPM spindle
- 24-tool automatic tool changer
- Mazatrol Fusion 640M/640MN control
- Large 82.7″ × 25″ table
- Chip conveyor
- Through-spindle coolant
- Renishaw probing
- Automatic tool measurement
- Fourth-axis rotary table
- Additional tooling
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the spindle, spindle bearings, CAT 50 taper, X/Y/Z-axis movement, ballscrews, linear guides, table condition, ATC operation, CNC control, coolant system, chip conveyor, and machine geometry.
For a machine of this age, it is particularly important to verify spindle hours, cutting hours, maintenance history, backlash, positioning accuracy, spindle runout, and the condition of the control electronics.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 COST?
The price of a used MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 varies significantly based on condition, spindle hours, control, tooling, fourth-axis equipment, probing, coolant system, chip conveyor, and maintenance history.
Current used-market listings show substantial variation. One 2006 VTC250D/50 is currently listed at $24,900, while another 2006 example is listed at $59,000.
Based on these current listings and comparable machines, a reasonable working market range for a used MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 is approximately $25,000 to $60,000 USD, with exceptionally well-equipped machines, fourth-axis packages, probing, tooling, and strong maintenance history potentially commanding more.
A properly maintained MAZAK VTC250D/50 2006 remains a capable CAT 50 CNC Vertical Machining Center for manufacturers requiring long X-axis travel, substantial spindle power, large workholding capacity, and rigid machining of large or extended components.
