Our best estimate for the ANCA FX5 is $175,000 - $260,000. This is an estimate for a cnc grinding machines in this class, not a quote from ANCA; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/anca-fx5#price; the request is passed to ANCA or an authorised dealer.
The table describes the FX5 as productive up to Ø 12 mm (1/2”), with a maximum tool length of 200 mm (8”). Wheel packs can be up to Ø 203 mm (8”). For larger shanks, the MX7 is listed as productive up to Ø 25 mm (1”) with a 300 mm (12”) tool length.
Both are single-column, linear motor machines with the same 1930 mm (76”) W x 1800 mm (70”) D x 1810 mm (71”) H footprint and the same Ø 12 mm productive range. The FX5 has a 12 kW (16 HP) peak spindle with a 19 kW (25.4 HP) spindle available, 2 wheel packs and a 340 x Ø 3 mm loader capacity. The FX7 lists 19 kW (25.5 HP) peak, up to 6 wheel packs with a robot wheel changer and 840 x Ø 3 mm.
The AR300 loader is an option. Its listed capacity is 340 tools at Ø 3 mm, 200 tools at Ø 6 mm or 80 tools at Ø 12 mm. Capacity falls as the shank gets larger, so the length of an unattended run depends on the diameter being ground.
It carries 2 wheel packs with a maximum wheel diameter of 203 mm (8”). The 2-station wheel changer takes a maximum wheel pack weight of 6.5 kg. A job that needs more than two packs requires an exchange between runs. The FX7 raises the count to 6 packs with its robot wheel changer.
Two are listed. The standard spindle has 12 kW (16 HP) of peak power, and the machine is available with a high-powered 19 kW (25.4 HP) spindle. The larger spindle gives about 58% more peak power, which matters most for deep flutes in carbide at the top of the diameter range.
