5-Axis Machining Centres
VARIAXIS j
Multi-surface, simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining centre
- Rigid trunnion table design supports the table on both sides for heavy-duty machining for high-accuracy machining.
- 0.0001° indexing increment for a variety of multiple-surface machining (simultaneous 4-axis + A-axis indexing) [j-500].
- Simultaneous 5-axis control for 3-dimensional curved surface machining [j-500/5X].
- Excellent accessibility to the table and magazine in front of the machine for easier operation.
Machine structure for high-accuracy machining
1: Linear roller guides utilised on the X-, Y- and Z-axis
The linear roller guides on the X-, Y- and Z-axis utilised by the VARIAXIS j series provide high-accuracy positioning.
Additionally, with their high rigidity and considerably lower friction, high-speed feedrates can be used over a wide range of machining, from heavy-duty to high speed cutting.
2: High-rigidity table
High-rigidity tilting rotary table for high-speed and high-accuracy machining.
3: Rotary axis equipped with roller gear cams
The VARIAXIS j series tilt and rotary tables use roller gear cams for superior accuracy, rigidity and durability. Elimination of backlash ensures high-accuracy and high-efficiency machining.

Stable machining accuracy over long periods of operation
High-Accuracy 5-axis Calibration MAZA-CHECK
Position misalignment and inclination of the rotary axis can be automatically measured and compensated to realise high-accuracy 5-axis machining.
In addition to offsetting positional deviation parallel to the linear axis, angular deviation due to tilt direction can also be corrected.

- *Optional function for VARIAXIS j-500.
Ai Thermal Shield
Based on the spindle speed and temperature of the machine, Ai Thermal Shield suppresses changes in the cutting edge position. It stabilises continuous machining accuracy through meticulous machine control that takes into account temperature changes, machine position, coolant ON/OFF, and other factors. Furthermore, by accumulating and learning data from subsequent measurements, thermal displacement compensation can be optimised for each machining environment.

2-pallet changer (Optional)
The VARIAXIS j series offers the 2-pallet changer as an option.
The next workpiece can be setup during the machining of the current workpiece for higher productivity.
Large reduction of total production time
The VARIAXIS j-500 series incorporates all machining processes from raw material input through to final machining – in just one machine. It provides the ability to reduce production lead time, improve machining accuracy, reduce floor space and initial cost, lower operating expenses, reduce operator requirements and improve the work environment. As a result, it not only streamlines production, but also improves overall management.
