Used Mazak VTC: VTC-530-C and VTC-200-C in Stock, Mazak VTC 800 on Request
The Mazak VTC is the traveling-column series in the Mazak range: the table stays fixed while the column carrying the vertical spindle moves along it. Anyone searching for a used Mazak VTC – whether the big VTC 800 or a smaller model like the VTC-530-C – is usually after the same thing: long X-axis travel for long workpieces on a compact footprint. TÖRNER has traded 16 machines from this series; currently in stock are a MAZAK VTC-530-C and a MAZAK VTC-200-C, both fully inspected and documented, with worldwide shipping, installation and commissioning handled end to end. TÖRNER is an independent dealer and is not affiliated with Yamazaki Mazak Corporation.

What sets the Mazak VTC apart
Traveling column, built for long parts
The VTC turns the usual vertical machining center concept on its head: instead of the table pushing the workpiece under the spindle, the column carrying the spindle travels over a fixed table — Mazak calls it the traveling-column design. The payoff is a large working envelope on a small footprint, with one continuous long-bed table instead of a short cross table. That makes the VTC Mazak’s series for long parts.
- Overhang allowed — workpieces may overhang table and axis travels; permissible workpiece dimensions exceed the strokes.
- Unlike VCN/VC-NEXUS — those centers’ moving cross table keeps them limited in X.
- Per-machine data — travels, table sizes and load capacities per each machine’s data sheet, included with every quote.
One long table, two ways to use it
The long table is more than a clamping surface — it is a way of organizing production. Magazine capacity, spindle speed and rapid traverse rates depend on machine size, model year and equipment. On the VTC-530-C and VTC-760-C, temperature-controlled coolant circulates through the spindle cartridge according to Mazak’s brochure — when buying used, what counts is less the feature itself than the condition of the chiller unit and cooling circuit.
- Center partition (optional) — splits the working area into two zones: set up on one side while the machine cuts on the other.
- Pallet-changer alternative — setup during machining time without a two-pallet changer’s mechanics and floor space, per Mazak.
- Row clamping — just as typical: a row of identical parts clamped in one setup.
- 40-taper tooling — every VTC we have traded runs ISO/CAT/BT 40.
- HD variants — VTC-800/20HD and /30HD with CAT 50 spindle for heavy cutting; we have not yet had one in stock.
5-axis versions: SR, SDR and SLR
The 5-axis-capable versions carry the suffixes SR, SDR and SLR — VTC-800/20SR, /30SR and /30SLR. VTC-800 denotes a size class, not an axis count: the 3-axis HD models belong to the same family. Rather than tilting the workpiece like a trunnion-table VARIAXIS center, these machines swivel the tool via an NC swivel head acting as the B axis — with the long table, that means 5-sided machining on parts too long or bulky for a trunnion machine.
- SR — swivel head plus optional NC rotary table, mounted left or right on the fixed table.
- SLR — swivel head with the NC rotary table permanently integrated.
- Full 5-axis simultaneous — additionally requires the NC rotary table: optional on the SR, factory-integrated on the SLR.
MAZATROL controls by generation
Control is MAZATROL throughout, but across several generations — which one is installed depends on the specific machine and model year, not the model name. Every generation handles EIA/ISO alongside MAZATROL conversational programming, so CAM programs can be loaded via the ISO channel. The post processor does need to be matched to the specific machine: axis configuration, swivel-head kinematics, control generation.
- M-Plus / (PC-)Fusion 640M — documented on the older VTC-200 family.
- MATRIX / MATRIX 2 — on the VTC-800/20SR and /30SR.
- SmoothG — current VTC-530-C and VTC-760-C, per the manufacturer’s brochure.
- Older Fusion controls — check program memory and DNC connectivity; we clarify what that involves before you buy.
- Equipment varies per machine — through-spindle coolant, chip conveyor, touch probe or a 4th axis; we document it for each one.

The series at a glance
Across the 16 machines we have traded, three groups stand out. First, the compact 3-axis traveling-column machines of the older generation: VTC-200-B-II, VTC-200-C and VTC-200-C-II – the B length with the shorter table, the C length with the longer table and greater X travel. Watch the model designations here: on the VTC-200, the C stands for the longer build, whereas on the VTC-530-C and VTC-760-C it denotes the current series generation. Second, that current C generation with SmoothG: VTC-530-C and VTC-760-C, same length, differentiated by width and height class. Third, the large 5-axis-capable traveling-column machines VTC-800/20SR, VTC-800/30SR and VTC-800/30SLR with B-axis swivel head. We quote travels, table dimensions and load capacities per machine from its data sheet rather than as series-wide values. Currently in stock: one MAZAK VTC-530-C and one MAZAK VTC-200-C; a Mazak VTC 800 we can source on request through our worldwide network.
Frequently asked questions about the Mazak VTC
What condition are used Mazak VTC machines from TÖRNER in?
Every machine is technically inspected and documented before sale – spindle, axes, guideways, tool changer, control and peripherals. You receive the year of manufacture, operating hours where readable, an equipment list and photos, plus an inspection under power on request. On traveling-column machines in particular, it pays to check the condition of the way covers and guideways along the full X travel, as well as chip evacuation underneath the long table.
Which MAZATROL control will I get on a used VTC?
That depends on the year of manufacture, not the model name. Older VTC-200s run MAZATROL M-Plus or the Fusion generation (Fusion 640M) depending on build year, the VTC-800/20SR and /30SR run MATRIX or MATRIX 2, and the current VTC-530-C and VTC-760-C run SmoothG. We tell you the exact generation of the specific machine before you decide. Since every generation runs EIA/ISO alongside MAZATROL, even an older control can be integrated into an existing CAM chain – usually with an adapted post processor, and on older controls with an additional look at program memory and DNC connectivity.
What about spare parts and service for older machines?
Mechanical assemblies such as spindles, ball screws, tool changers and pumps are generally well covered through service networks and the used-parts market. More critical are control-specific components of older MAZATROL generations – displays, power supplies, drive amplifiers – where it makes a real difference whether a machine runs M-Plus, Fusion, MATRIX or Smooth. Before you buy, we establish exactly which control and drive generation is installed so you can assess parts availability realistically – and we can take over maintenance after installation if you wish.
Can a 3-axis VTC be upgraded with a 4th axis later?
On the 3-axis models VTC-200-C and VTC-530-C, a 4th axis is added via an NC rotary table on the fixed table. The deciding factors are control support for the additional axis, a spare axis interface on the drive package and space in the working area – we check this on the specific machine before you plan a retrofit. On the swivel-head variants VTC-800/20SR and /30SR, the B-axis swivel head is fitted at the factory; there, the NC rotary table provides the 5th axis and can be placed on the left or right of the machine table.
Do you handle dismantling, shipping and commissioning?
Yes. We handle professional dismantling at the seller's site, worldwide shipping including export documentation and sea-freight packaging, then installation, alignment and commissioning at your facility – with maintenance and financing available too, all through one partner. With a VTC, clarify access routes, crane paths and the foundation early: the long table and traveling-column design need little floor space, but they do require consistently accurate leveling along the entire X length and room for workpieces overhanging both ends of the table.
You don't have a Mazak VTC 800 in stock right now – can I still get one?
Yes. Beyond the two machines currently in stock, we search through a worldwide network of dealers, liquidators and end users. Tell us the travels, workpiece weight, preferred control generation and equipment you need – we come back with matching machines and a condition report instead of offering you the wrong size class. We have traded 16 machines from this series to date, from the compact VTC-200 traveling column to the 5-axis VTC-800/30SLR.
Buy a used Mazak VTC – or have us find one for you
