Our best estimate for the Chiron FZ 18 S Five Axis is $450,000 - $620,000. 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-18-s-five-axis#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
730 mm in X, 565 mm in Y and 630 mm in Z, with 75 m/min rapid traverse and 10 m/s² acceleration on each linear axis. The rows of Chiron's sheet shown on this page do not include the rotary axes, so the swivel range and table size have to be confirmed separately.
The FZ 16S has 660 mm of X, 680 mm of Y and 500 mm of Z, a spindle range of 12,500 – 20,000 rpm with 86 – 208 Nm and a chain magazine of 42 – 162 tools. The FZ 18 S Five Axis is longer in X and Z, has the higher torque range at 140 – 290 Nm and changes tools faster, but carries only 12 or 20 of them.
The basket tool changer is listed with 12 or 20 tools. Tools can be 65 mm in diameter, or 180 mm with the adjacent places empty, about 220 mm long and up to 5.0 kg. Chip-to-chip time is 1.7 s.
SK40 or HSK-A63. Maximum speed is listed as 10,500 – 15,000 rpm and torque as 140 – 290 Nm, a spread that covers more than one spindle version. The sheet rows do not match each speed to a torque or give a power figure, so ask for the data of the spindle being quoted.
