The price estimate for the AXA PFZ 50 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-50#price; the request is passed to AXA or an authorised dealer.
It depends on the cut. No. 161 (standard) and no. 163 both give 540 Nm, with 28 kW and 57 kW respectively and up to 7,500 rpm optional. No. 131 and no. 133 give 286 Nm and 355 Nm with up to 9,000 rpm optional. No. 182 gives 820 Nm and 81 kW at 4,000 rpm. All ratings are at 40% DC.
X travel ranges from 3,000 mm to 10,000 mm (118.1 to 393.7 in), Y from 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm and Z from 800 mm to 1,500 mm. The table is 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm wide with 22 mm T-slots at 660 mm spacing. The distance from table to spindle nose is given as 230 mm.
AXA lists ball screws or rack and pinion drive in all linear axes, with drives and guideways protected. The guideways are hardened precision steel slideways mounted on manually scraped or ground surfaces with Turcite coatings. Direct measuring systems are fitted on X, Y and Z.
AXA's examples of use include a PFZ with additional turning equipment, a PFZ without machine table and a PFZ as a pallet machine. The data sheet adds that its figures refer to the standard version and that extensions and modifications depend on the overall configuration and application.
