The price estimate for the AXA PFZ 40 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/axa-pfz-40#price; the request is passed to AXA or an authorised dealer.
AXA gives ranges, not fixed sizes. X travel is 3,000 mm to 10,000 mm, Y is 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm and Z is 800 mm to 1,500 mm. Table width is 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm and table length approximately equals the X travel. The data sheet says extensions and modifications are available on request.
The spindle and the forces around it. The PFZ 50 has an SK 50 taper, a 540 Nm standard drive, a 12,000 N feed force and an optional table rating of 2,000 kg/m². The PFZ 40 has SK 40, 143 Nm, 9,000 N and 1,500 kg/m². The travel ranges are the same.
22 pockets as standard. The row for the optional expansion reads "60 (90)". Tools can be 85 mm in diameter, 135 mm with free adjacent pockets, and 400 mm long. The changer is stationary, which AXA says allows very long chains without restricting machine dynamics and precision.
The main spindle is set vertically. AXA states that the implementation of angular heads enables machining on the side surfaces. For 5-side machining with a 2-axis tilting head, AXA builds the UPFZ 40 on the same travel ranges in X and Z.
