The price estimate for the AXA VCC 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-vcc#price; the request is passed to AXA or an authorised dealer.
AXA's data sheet lists two values in the VCC column: 750 mm (29.5 in) or 1,200 mm (47.2 in). The clamping surface changes with it, 1,000 x 500 mm for the short version and 1,350 x 500 mm for the long one. Y and Z are the same on both, 550 mm and 600 mm.
The standard drive is no. 110 with an SK 40 taper: 6,000 rpm, optionally up to 12,000 rpm, with 143 Nm and 30 kW at 40% DC. Drive no. 100 (95 Nm, 20 kW, optionally up to 15,000 rpm) and drive no. 111 (191 Nm, 40 kW) are optional, as is an HSK A63 tool interface.
The VCC 2 is one step up in Y and Z, with 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z against 550 mm and 600 mm on the VCC, and a 1,350 x 600 mm table with four T-slots instead of three. Spindle drives, magazine and rapids are the same on both.
22 tools as standard, optionally expandable up to 30. A tool can be 85 mm in diameter with a full magazine, 135 mm with free adjacent pockets, and up to 400 mm long. AXA uses fixed-location coded tool management, so each tool always returns to the same pocket.
