The price estimate for the AXA UPFZ 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-upfz-50#price; the request is passed to AXA or an authorised dealer.
AXA states that the UPFZ 50 has its portal in an inclined bed version for increased stability and rigidity. According to AXA, the inclined bed portal reduces the distance between the Y-guideway and the swivel head. The data sheet gives no separate figures for it.
No. 161 is standard: 4,000 rpm, up to 7,500 rpm optional, 540 Nm and 28 kW. Options are no. 163 with 540 Nm and 57 kW, no. 133 with 355 Nm and 56 kW, and no. 131 with 286 Nm and 45 kW. Ratings are at 40% DC. Holders are SK 50, optionally BT 50, HSK A100 or C8.
The row "with horizontal spindle minus" reads 2 x 460 mm for X and for Y, with 2 x 360 mm in brackets. In the X row the bracketed figure is marked as an optional feature. The minimum distance from table to spindle nose is 230 mm horizontal and vertical, or 230 mm / 330 mm optionally.
Positioning accuracy is ± 0.02 mm per 1,000 mm per axis X/Y/Z, and AXA notes that increased accuracy is available on request. Repeating accuracy is ± 0.0075 mm. Direct measuring systems are fitted on the X, Y and Z axes.
