Our best estimate for the Chiron DZ 15S is $400,000 - $600,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining centers in this class, not a quote from Chiron; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chiron-dz-15s#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
2 x 12 tools in a basket tool changer, with a 1.7 sec chip-to-chip time. The DZ 15 W can be had with a chain magazine instead, listed at 2 x 24 or 2 x 32 tools, but with 12,000 - 15,000 rpm spindles and 360 mm (14.2 in) of Z travel in that version.
Maximum tool diameter is 65 mm (2.56 in), or 175 mm (6.9 in) when the adjacent places are empty. Tool length is ca. 220 mm (8.7 in) and tool weight is 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). Check heavy holders against the weight limit before planning the tool list.
Linear direct drives on X, Y and Z and direct drives on A and C. Rapid traverse is 75 m/min (2,953 ipm) in all three linear axes and acceleration is 10 m/s² in each. The drives on all axes and the spindle are water-cooled.
Chiron lists a maximum workpiece diameter of 350 mm (13.8 in) and a maximum workpiece weight of 150 kg (330 lb). The spindles are 320 mm (12.6 in) apart, which is less than that diameter, so confirm the largest part that both spindles can machine at once.
Spindle speed is listed from 12,000 to 20,000 rpm with 90 to 180 Nm of maximum torque, and the taper is SK-40 or HSK-A63. The control is a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl.
