Overview

The Mazak INTEGREX e-500H is the heavy-hitter in Mazak’s horizontal multi-tasking lineup, designed to handle large-diameter shaft-type workpieces that exceed what the e-420H can swing. With a 15 to 21-inch chuck range and 820 mm (32.28 in) max machining diameter, this machine is built for shops running big aerospace, energy, and heavy equipment parts that need turning, milling, boring, and drilling consolidated into one setup.

The orthogonal B-axis configuration provides a large machining envelope with 500 mm (19.69 in) of Y-axis travel, significantly more reach than the e-420H’s 420 mm. The milling spindle runs to 12,000 RPM with 22 kW (30 hp) through a No. 50, Capto C8, or HSK-A100 interface. The main turning spindle uses a built-in motor design with temperature-controlled cooling, with speeds from 2,000 to 3,500 RPM depending on spindle bore.

Axis travels are generous: approximately 920 mm (36.2 in) on X, 500 mm (19.69 in) on Y, and 1,500 to 3,000 mm on Z depending on bed length. The B-axis swings 240 degrees with roller cam drive and 0.0001-degree indexing resolution. The 360-degree continuous C-axis with disc brake provides rigidity for heavy interrupted milling.

A standout feature is the integrated long boring bar system with maximum tool lengths of 1,000 mm to 1,500 mm, stored in a dedicated 2-tool stocker with automatic head changing. This is critical for deep-bore ID work on valve bodies, pump housings, and large hydraulic cylinders.

The standard 40-tool ATC handles most jobs, with 80 and 120-tool options. Current machines run on MAZATROL SmoothAi with Ai Thermal Shield. At roughly 28,000 kg (61,729 lb), the e-500H demands heavy-duty foundations. The -S variant adds a second spindle. New machines price $550,000 to $850,000. Used units from 2010-2018 trade $200,000-$450,000. Specs sourced from Mazak published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

820 mm max machining diameter with 15-21 inch chuck handles large workpieces exceeding the e-420H and most competitors
500 mm Y-axis travel provides exceptional off-center reach for milling and boring on large workpieces
Integrated long boring bar system with automatic head changing eliminates separate boring mill for deep ID work
Built-in motor turning spindle with temperature-controlled cooling maintains accuracy during long unattended cycles
240-degree B-axis with roller cam drive and 0.0001-degree resolution delivers zero-backlash 5-axis positioning
40/80/120-tool ATC handles complex multi-operation parts without manual tool changes
Mazak North American manufacturing provides faster parts and service access than European builders

Limitations

New price of $550K-$850K requires consistent high-value work to justify ROI
28,000 kg weight requires reinforced foundations and heavy rigging
Extreme programming complexity for simultaneous 5-axis on large parts; 6+ month ramp-up expected
3,500 RPM main spindle trades speed for large-diameter torque
Service costs run $10K-$20K annually at $250+/hour Mazak rates

Best For

Aerospace shops machining large structural components needing turning, milling, and deep boring in one setup Energy sector producing large pump housings and turbine components using the integrated boring bar Oil and gas manufacturers running large-diameter shaft work exceeding smaller multi-tasking capacity Heavy equipment shops producing parts up to 32 inches diameter in done-in-one processing Defense contractors consolidating operations on large ordnance and naval components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a new e-500H cost?

Base starts around $550,000. Production setups run $700K-$850K. The -S adds $75K-$150K. Used 2010-2018 units trade $200K-$450K.

02 How does it compare to the e-420H?

Larger: 32.28 vs 26.4 inch max diameter, 19.69 vs 16.54 inch Y-axis, 15-21 vs 10-15 inch chuck. Adds boring bar system. Higher cost and heavier at 28,000 vs 20,000 kg.

03 What is the boring bar system?

Stores boring tools up to 1,500 mm in a 2-tool stocker with auto head changing for deep ID machining without a separate boring mill.

04 Best CAM software?

Most shops use NX, Esprit, or Mastercam with custom post processors. MAZATROL handles basics but complex 5-axis needs proven CAM posts.

05 Can it run unattended?

Yes. SmoothAi supports tool life management, offset compensation, and SMOOTH Monitor remote monitoring. Budget for heavy-duty chip conveyors.
