Our best estimate for the ANCA GX7 is $350,000 - $500,000. 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-gx7#price; the request is passed to ANCA or an authorised dealer.
Going by the listed figures, it is a 5-axis CNC grinder for gear cutting tools: the control is described as ANCA CNC with gear tool grinding software, and the workpiece capacity is 250 mm (9.8 in) in diameter by 500 mm (19.7 in) in length.
The listed travels are 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 250 mm (9.8 in) in Z. The C axis, the headstock, rotates continuously and the A axis swivels ±30°. X and Y are driven by LinX linear motors and Z by a ballscrew.
The listed figures give 24 kW (32 HP) of peak spindle power and a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, with a maximum grinding wheel diameter of 254 mm (10 in). No continuous rating is listed, so ask for the spindle data plate or manual when assessing a particular machine.
The listed positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in). Integrated automatic wheel and workpiece probing is also listed. On a machine that has been in service, a recent calibration report tells you more than the nominal figure, so ask for one.
