Our best estimate for the Chiron FZ 15W Baseline is $250,000 - $375,000. 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-15w-baseline#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
430 mm (16.9 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z. Maximum workpiece diameter is 350 mm (13.8 in) and maximum workpiece weight is 150 kg (330 lb). These are the listed figures and have not been confirmed against a maker's data sheet.
Yes, the table lists an integrated 2-position pallet changer. One position sits in the work area while the other is outside for unloading and reloading, so the spindle does not wait for the operator between parts.
An HSK-A63 spindle at 20,000 RPM with up to 200 Nm (148 ft-lb) of torque. The table notes that high-speed options are available but gives no figures for them. Ask for the torque curve, since peak torque and top speed are rarely available together.
The FZ 15W lists 730 mm (28.7 in) of X travel, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 20 tools with its basket tool changer or 48 / 64 tools with a chain magazine. The FZ 15W Baseline is listed with 430 mm (16.9 in) of X, 36 tools as standard and a pallet changer. Both show a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control.
