Our best estimate for the Chiron FZ 15S Five Axis Baseline is $325,000 - $425,000. 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-fz-15s-five-axis-baseline#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
The listed figures are 550 mm (21.7 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. The C axis is listed as 360° continuous and the A axis as a swivel axis without a stated angle. Maximum workpiece diameter is given as approximately 600 mm (23.6 in).
A 20,000 RPM spindle with an HSK-A63 taper. The listed figures give no power or torque rating, so the cutting capacity in steel or titanium cannot be read from the table. Ask for the spindle's power and torque curve before quoting heavy roughing work on it.
The tables do not match. The FZ 15S lists 730 mm (28.7 in) of X travel, 425 mm (16.7 in) of Z and a 20-tool basket changer with a choice of SK-40 or HSK-A63. The Baseline figures show 550 mm (21.7 in) of X, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z, up to 60 tools and HSK-A63 only. Check which set applies to the machine in front of you.
The listed control is the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl. The table describes the machine as a standardized Baseline package and does not itemise control options, probing or software, so anything beyond the control name has to be confirmed from the machine's own documentation.
